This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Pikiulik, Quebec. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
Drag the map to pan to any area of Quebec or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Pikiulik and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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 Pikiulik.
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.

Pikiulik is a locality in Baie-d'Hudson; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Pikiulik is located at 62.2347°N, 74.8314°W.
Pikiulik anchors itself along the rugged edges of the St. Lawrence, where the land yields to the persistent, cold breath of the north. It lies 42.6 km east of Salluit, QC (from Salluit, QC: bearing 84°T), and is situated 17.1 km north-west of Déception. The terrain here is defined by the sharp, unyielding presence of the Coteau Qinnuajuarsitik, which rises above the banks of the Rivière Ujarajjuap like a weathered spine. In the low light of the long evenings, the horizon gains a bruised, violet clarity, and the air grows thin and sharp enough to catch in the throat. Thirteen kilometers to the interior, the stillness of Lac Maniittuq exerts a quiet gravity, its surface often mirroring the vast, indifferent sky that dictates the pace of existence in this remote corridor. Life in Pikiulik maintains a profound alignment with the seasonal shifts of the arctic landscape, drawing heavily upon the enduring traditions of the Inuit who have long navigated these waterways. The local economy persists through a resilient blend of subsistence harvesting and modern resource stewardship, activities dictated by the biting frost and the brief, intense pulse of the short summer. Pikiulik survives as a point of human persistence against the vastness of the Canadian north, where the weight of the silence is broken only by the shifting ice and the cold, rhythmic movement of the river.
Pikiulik se déploie sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent du nord sculpte sans relâche la silhouette austère de Coteau Qinnuajuarsitik. Dans cette étendue silencieuse du Québec, le souffle polaire parcourt les terres basses pour s'immobiliser contre les eaux froides de la Rivière Ujarajjuap, dont le cours sinueux dicte le rythme discret de la vie locale. À treize kilomètres de là, le Lac Maniittuq repose dans une solitude minérale, ses contours se confondant avec la toundra lorsque la lumière déclinante du crépuscule étire les ombres sur le sol pierreux. Les habitants de Pikiulik connaissent bien ce dépouillement, cette manière qu'a le paysage de réduire le monde à l'essentiel, entre la rigueur de la glace et la persistance des traditions qui lient les hommes à ces rivages septentrionaux. Ici, le ciel occupe une place démesurée, dominant les structures simples et les embarcations qui attendent, sur les berges, le moment propice pour s'élancer vers les courants. Il se dégage une dignité silencieuse de ces terres habitées par une mémoire ancienne, une patience acquise face aux éléments qui ne demandent jamais rien, mais exigent une présence entière, une attention constante portée à chaque changement de marée sur la Rivière Ujarajjuap.

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.
Location data for Pikiulik is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
