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 Kuujjuarapik.
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.

Kuujjuarapik is a northern village municipality in Kuujjuarapik; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Kuujjuarapik is located at 55.2833°N, 77.7500°W.
Kuujjuarapik sits with quiet purpose at the edge of the vast, shifting waters of the St. Lawrence, where the land meets the cold reach of the north. The terrain surrounding Kuujjuarapik is defined by the rugged presence of the Colline Uchistun Astach, which rises against the horizon as a sentinel over the low-lying tundra. Nearby, the Grande rivière de la Baleine cuts a persistent path toward the coast, its currents carving through the earth with an ancient, insistent energy. Close by, the still surface of Lac Tasiarualuk offers a mirror to the expansive sky, capturing the pale, translucent light that lingers during the long northern twilight. The air here holds a crispness that clarifies the senses, making every stone and tuft of hardy vegetation stand out in sharp, honest relief against the expansive, open horizon. The history of Kuujjuarapik rests upon a long legacy of Indigenous stewardship, where the local economy has traditionally prioritized the seasonal movements of wildlife and the bounty of the water. Today, the livelihoods of those in Kuujjuarapik remain tied to a blend of traditional harvesting and contemporary services, reflecting a practical approach to life in a demanding climate. Small-scale commerce and regional administration provide the structure for daily existence, while the skills passed down through generations—knowledge of the ice, the currents, and the land—inform the ways in which people navigate the changing seasons. Success here is measured not by accumulation, but by the ability to endure and thrive in harmony with the natural cycles that dictate the pace of the year. Cultural life in Kuujjuarapik is deeply rooted in the shared experiences of its people, who maintain their traditions with a steady, quiet pride. Gatherings often center on the passing of stories or the celebration of seasonal shifts, where the community finds strength in its collective memory and its connection to the surrounding landscape. The presence of the Grande rivière de la Baleine remains a constant influence, acting as both a physical boundary and a lifeline that defines the character of the people who dwell along its banks. Life moves with a focus on the immediate necessities of the day, grounded in an environment that demands respect and rewards those who observe its subtle, shifting moods with patience and care.
Kuujjuarapik s'éveille sous une clarté boréale qui semble suspendre le souffle du monde, là où les rives du Saint-Laurent dessinent une frontière indécise entre le ciel et la terre. Dans ce paysage austère, la Colline Uchistun Astach se dresse comme un témoin silencieux des souffles polaires, surplombant les eaux mouvantes de la Grande rivière de la Baleine qui charrient, dans un murmure incessant, la mémoire des glaces anciennes. À proximité immédiate, le Lac Tasiarualuk demeure une étendue d'eau immobile, miroir sombre captant les derniers reflets cuivrés du crépuscule. La présence autochtone imprègne chaque geste quotidien, une sagesse transmise par les aînés qui connaissent le langage secret des vents et le rythme des marées. Kuujjuarapik vit en harmonie avec cette rudesse climatique, s'appuyant sur des traditions séculaires pour naviguer dans l'immensité de ce Nord-du-Québec. Ici, l'air porte une pureté tranchante, presque métallique, qui force l'esprit à se concentrer sur l'essentiel, loin du tumulte des cités méridionales. Chaque maison, chaque sentier parcouru par les habitants, raconte la persévérance d'une culture qui a su apprivoiser l'isolement pour en faire une force, transformant la rigueur du sol en un foyer chaleureux face à l'horizon infini.
