TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Kitcisakik.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Kitcisakik is a amerindian settlement in Kitcisakik; La Vallée-de-l'Or, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Kitcisakik is located at 47.5389°N, 77.4592°W.
Kitcisakik rests upon the rugged, pine-shadowed shore of Grand lac Victoria, where the horizon dissolves into the deep, dark mirror of the water. It lies 67.3 km south-south-east of Val-d'Or, QC (from Val-d'Or, QC: bearing 158°T), and is situated 7.6 km south-west of Kâmînikacik. The air here carries a persistent, resinous chill, even in the height of summer, rising from the vast basin of the lake to settle among the low-slung dwellings. When evening light begins to fail, the surface of Grand lac Victoria turns a bruised, metallic purple, reflecting the heavy silhouettes of the spruce that crowd the bank. About 6 km away, the Rivière de la Baie moves with a quiet, steady persistence through the dense brush, its presence felt more as a cold dampness in the wind than a sight to behold. Kitcisakik stands as a permanent home for the Anishnabe people, maintaining a deep, ancestral connection to the land that long predates modern borders. Life in Kitcisakik follows the seasonal shifts of the forest, with a local economy historically shaped by traditional harvesting and the careful stewardship of the surrounding bush. The residents possess a quiet resilience, their daily existence marked by the practical demands of life in a remote, roadless setting where the water remains the primary thoroughfare. During the long winters, the silence of the woods becomes absolute, broken only by the sharp snap of frozen timber or the distant, muffled movement of the wind. Even as the modern world encroaches, the people of Kitcisakik preserve their language and cultural heritage, keeping their traditions alive through the simple, honest repetition of daily chores and the passing of stories by the stove.
Kitcisakik déploie ses habitations modestes et dignes sur les rives apaisées du Grand lac Victoria, là où le ciel bas du Québec semble se pencher pour écouter le silence des forêts environnantes. Dans cette étendue sauvage de La Vallée-de-l'Or, la lumière de fin de journée glisse sur l'eau immobile, révélant une clarté particulière qui souligne la présence ancienne du peuple Anishnabe. À quelques kilomètres de là, la Rivière de la Baie poursuit son cours discret, participant à cet équilibre naturel que les résidents préservent avec une attention constante. La vie à Kitcisakik suit le rythme lent des jours qui s'étirent, marquée par une tradition de transmission orale et un lien indéfectible avec le territoire qui les porte depuis des générations. Les activités quotidiennes se déroulent dans une simplicité dépouillée de tout artifice, où chaque geste quotidien honore une culture bien vivante, loin des bruits du monde moderne. Ici, le vent qui balaie la surface du Grand lac Victoria transporte avec lui le souvenir des ancêtres, offrant une sérénité rare à ceux qui habitent ces terres forestières. La permanence de ce milieu, où la terre et l'eau s'unissent, définit l'essence même de Kitcisakik, dont la résilience se lit dans la persistance d'un mode de vie respectueux du cycle immuable de la nature boréale.
