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 Qajakkuvik.
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.

Qajakkuvik is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Qajakkuvik is located at 59.8861°N, 69.6728°W.
Qajakkuvik rests along the rugged margins of the St. Lawrence, cradled by the ancient, weathered rise of the Colline Qarqaq Killipaaq. It lies 24.6 km south-east of Kangirsuk, QC (from Kangirsuk, QC: bearing 127°T), and is situated 4.6 km south of Inussuit Tunirtait. The land surrounding Qajakkuvik holds a profound stillness, defined by the proximity of Lac Imirtavik, which sits at the threshold of the settlement, and the distant, persistent presence of the Rivière Brochant winding through the tundra some six kilometers away. In the high-latitude light, the terrain assumes a sharp, crystalline clarity, turning the mossy earth into a palette of muted ochre and stone-grey. Here, the air carries a crisp, mineral edge that sharpens the senses, and the wind moves across the Colline Qarqaq Killipaaq with a hollow, resonant hum, reminding all who linger that the landscape possesses a vast, indifferent gravity. Life in Qajakkuvik follows the seasonal pulse of the north, anchored in practices that have long respected the harsh requirements of this environment. The local economy relies on the careful harvest of these northern reaches, with traditions of land-based subsistence remaining central to the daily experience of the people. Throughout the year, the inhabitants observe the subtle shifts in the ice and the migrations across the water, maintaining a continuity that is as steady as the cold currents of the St. Lawrence. Qajakkuvik persists as a quiet outpost where the weight of the horizon feels tangible, and the movement of the seasons dictates the pace of every endeavor.
Qajakkuvik s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle du Nord sculpte la roche de la Colline Qarqaq Killipaaq avec une patience minérale. Sous le ciel immense qui change de nuance à chaque heure, la lumière dépose une clarté boréale sur le Lac Imirtavik, dont les eaux immobiles semblent retenir le silence des terres arctiques. À quelques lieues de là, la Rivière Brochant poursuit sa course vers l’horizon, accompagnant le rythme des jours dans une solitude majestueuse qui définit l’identité même de Qajakkuvik. Ici, la terre garde ses secrets sous une pellicule de givre et d’histoire, tandis que le vent circule entre les reliefs escarpés comme une mémoire lointaine. Les habitations se tournent vers l’étendue saline du fleuve, observant le passage des marées qui battent la mesure d’une existence façonnée par l’isolement et la rudesse du climat. Chaque pierre de la Colline Qarqaq Killipaaq porte le poids de cette géographie austère, invitant le regard à se perdre dans les reflets changeants du Lac Imirtavik, tandis que la Rivière Brochant murmure, par son écoulement constant, la persévérance de ceux qui ont choisi de bâtir leur vie sur cette terre du Nord-du-Québec.

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.
