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 Pinuw Kaapaaikumaakinut.
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.

Pinuw Kaapaaikumaakinut is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Pinuw Kaapaaikumaakinut is located at 56.3014°N, 70.8989°W.
Pinuw Kaapaaikumaakinut occupies a remote expanse of the subarctic landscape, defined by the persistent, cold currents of the Rivière Delay. It lies 207.9 km north of Brisay, QC (from Brisay, QC: bearing 353°T), and is situated 32.5 km north-north-east of Utimiskiiy Astaaw. The land surrounding Pinuw Kaapaaikumaakinut holds the stillness of the north, where the light at dusk stretches long shadows across the rugged, lichen-covered terrain of Rivière-Koksoak. Generations of Indigenous presence linger here, grounded in a deep familiarity with the seasonal shifts of the Rivière Delay and the vast, austere beauty of the northern interior. The economy remains quiet and largely subsistence-based, reliant on the natural movements of the land and the endurance required to inhabit such a starkly beautiful corridor of Nord-du-Québec. Life here moves according to the necessities of the climate, where the wind carries a sharp, metallic clarity and the silence of the tundra is broken only by the shifting water.
Pinuw Kaapaaikumaakinut s'étire avec une sobriété minérale sur les rives de la Rivière Delay, là où le Nord-du-Québec semble suspendre son souffle sous un ciel immense. Le terrain, façonné par les âges, offre une étendue de roche et de toundra dont la rudesse austère se révèle dans la lumière oblique du crépuscule. Ici, l'air porte une pureté tranchante, presque métallique, qui accompagne le murmure constant de la Rivière Delay, dont les eaux froides tracent une ligne de vie essentielle à travers l'immensité sauvage de la région de Rivière-Koksoak. Pinuw Kaapaaikumaakinut entretient un dialogue silencieux avec ce paysage d'une beauté dépouillée, où chaque pierre et chaque courbe du rivage portent le poids d'une identité résiliente, profondément liée aux traditions ancestrales des peuples autochtones qui ont su lire les secrets de ces terres depuis des générations. Les activités quotidiennes se plient au rythme imposé par la nature, une existence faite de patience et d'observation fine, loin des agitations du monde moderne. Dans cet isolement géographique, la sérénité n'est pas une absence de bruit, mais une présence dense, celle d'un territoire qui exige le respect et offre en retour une clarté d'esprit rare, propice à la contemplation de cette nature indomptable qui définit chaque jour l'existence de Pinuw Kaapaaikumaakinut.
