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 Mirquituit.
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.

Mirquituit is a locality in Baie-d'Hudson; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Mirquituit is located at 61.4467°N, 75.9803°W.
Mirquituit rests amidst the stark, obsidian-hued expanse of the Baie-d'Hudson region, where the land holds its breath against the unrelenting sweep of the northern wind. It lies 85.5 km south-south-west of Salluit, QC (from Salluit, QC: bearing 192°T), and is situated 7.4 km south-south-east of Illuvinirtalik. The terrain surrounding Mirquituit is defined by the rugged geometry of the Coteau Saliangajaaq, a silent sentinel overlooking the tundra’s pale, moss-dusted reach. Lac Killiavik glimmers nearby like a fallen fragment of the sky, its surface often fractured by the sudden, sharp arrival of ice or the restless movement of migrating geese. While the Rivière Chukotat flows steadily through the broader landscape, the air here possesses a crystalline clarity that renders distant horizons deceptively close, magnifying the golden, fleeting light that clings to the rocks at the edge of dusk. Life in Mirquituit is governed by the ancient, seasonal pulse of the north, where the echoes of Indigenous heritage inform the daily chores of gathering and preparation. The local economy persists through a disciplined reliance on the land, with the harvest of arctic char and the careful tending of winter supplies serving as the foundational labor of the year. History here is found not in stone monuments, but in the enduring memory of the people who know the hidden contours of the Coteau Saliangajaaq and the shifting depths of Lac Killiavik. Even as the modern world intrudes, the quietude of the tundra ensures that Mirquituit remains a place defined by the weight of the frost and the vast, unyielding patience of the horizon.
Mirquituit s’éveille sous une clarté boréale qui semble suspendre le souffle du monde, là où le sol dénudé s’incline doucement vers l’horizon de la Baie-d’Hudson. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Killiavik offre une surface de miroir sombre, retenant les reflets d’un ciel changeant qui bascule, au crépuscule, vers des teintes d’ocre et de cendre. Non loin, la Rivière Chukotat serpente avec une lenteur minérale à travers le relief, marquant la terre de son sillage froid et immuable tandis qu’elle s’écoule près du Coteau Saliangajaaq. Ce terrain, façonné par les vents qui balayent les vastes étendues arctiques, exige des habitants une présence attentive, une familiarité ancienne avec les caprices du givre et la dureté du roc. La vie à Mirquituit se mesure au rythme des marées et aux exigences de la toundra, perpétuant des gestes ancestraux qui honorent la survie dans cet environnement dépouillé de tout superflu. Chaque silhouette qui traverse les plaines pierreuses semble prolonger une lignée liée à la rudesse du climat, trouvant dans cette solitude septentrionale une forme de plénitude austère. Ici, la lumière elle-même possède une densité particulière, transformant les reliefs modestes en sentinelles silencieuses veillant sur les traditions et le quotidien des résidents.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
