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 Mistiutshimau.
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.

Mistiutshimau is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Mistiutshimau is located at 56.4267°N, 64.7814°W.
Mistiutshimau holds a solitary presence upon the shore of Lac de la Hutte Sauvage, caught in the quiet transition between earth and water. It lies 188.4 km west of Nain, QC (from Nain, QC: bearing 268°T), and is situated 3.0 km south of Manistuueu. The landscape here is defined by the steady, persistent movement of the Rivière Aasaakuustikwaach, which draws a cool, silver line through the vast northern terrain. During the long hours of dusk, the light stretches thin and pale across the surface of the water, turning the surrounding expanse into a mirror that holds the sky’s weightless indigo. The air carries the sharp, clean scent of damp stone and lichen, a cold clarity that settles deep into the lungs and anchors the spirit to the immediate, unadorned reality of the land. The history of Mistiutshimau lingers in the traditional knowledge of those who have moved across this territory for generations, maintaining a deep familiarity with the shifting moods of the Rivière Aasaakuustikwaach. Life in Mistiutshimau follows the seasonal currents, where the economy remains closely tied to the cycles of the natural world and the stewardship of the surrounding wild. Elders pass down the stories of the land while the younger generation navigates the practical demands of a life lived in a remote, expansive geography. Whether the ice is hardening on Lac de la Hutte Sauvage or the thaw is beginning to stir the riverbanks, the people move with a deliberate, attentive grace, respectful of the silence that defines this northern reach.
Mistiutshimau déploie sa présence silencieuse sur les rives vastes du Lac de la Hutte Sauvage, là où le ciel boréal semble descendre pour effleurer les eaux sombres. La Rivière Aasaakuustikwaach serpente à proximité, dictant par son cours lent le rythme discret des jours et la circulation des vents qui balaient la toundra. Dans cette contrée du Nord-du-Québec, la lumière décline avec une lenteur solennelle, étirant les ombres sur un relief dépouillé de toute fioriture, où le sol, ferme et minéral, offre une résistance patiente aux éléments. Mistiutshimau s'inscrit dans ce paysage avec une sobriété nécessaire, rappelant que l'existence ici se mesure à l'aune de la persévérance et d'une observation attentive de la nature environnante. Les traditions locales se perpétuent dans le respect des cycles naturels, les gestes se transmettent sans artifice, portés par une connaissance intime des eaux et des terres qui entourent les habitations. L'immensité du Lac de la Hutte Sauvage et la sinuosité de la Rivière Aasaakuustikwaach façonnent le quotidien, imposant une humilité salutaire face à une géographie qui ne tolère aucune négligence. Chaque saison apporte son lot de transformations, modifiant les nuances de la mousse et des lichens, tandis que Mistiutshimau demeure, point de repère solide dans une étendue qui s'étire, indomptable, vers l'horizon infini.
