This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Qarmait, 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).

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 Qarmait.
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.

Qarmait is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Qarmait is located at 59.6322°N, 69.5117°W.
Qarmait rests along the rugged, wind-scoured margins of the St. Lawrence, where the land rises into the persistent, rocky heights of the Colline Qarmait. It lies 37.3 km north of Aupaluk, QC (from Aupaluk, QC: bearing 8°T), and is situated 11.1 km south-south-east of Nannuit. The atmosphere here holds a crystalline clarity, sharpening the edges of the granite slopes until they appear to slice against the pale northern sky. Distant from the reach of larger centers, the terrain remains defined by the austere beauty of the north, where light at dusk lingers in long, bruised violet streaks across the horizon, turning the stone of the Colline Qarmait into a glowing hearth before the darkness settles. The economy of Qarmait reflects a deep, enduring reliance on the land, shaped by the presence of the Rivière Lefroy, which flows through the landscape about 10 km away, and the stillness of Lac Qurlutulik, situated 12 km from the center. Generations have moved through this region with a keen awareness of the seasonal shifts, maintaining traditions that honor the harsh, quiet demands of the climate. Life in Qarmait follows the pulse of the environment, where the cold air carries a metallic sharpness, and the silence of the tundra is broken only by the movement of water or the low, steady hum of local activity. Residents here share a resilience born of the terrain, finding significance in the simple persistence of daily routines that respect the vast, unyielding reach of the surrounding wilderness.
Qarmait se déploie avec une sobriété minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le ciel boréal semble descendre pour effleurer les pentes de la Colline Qarmait. Dans cet espace où le vent sculpte le sol, la lumière du crépuscule dépose des éclats d’ambre sur les roches anciennes, révélant une terre façonnée par une rigueur climatique qui impose sa propre cadence aux existences humaines. Non loin de là, la Rivière Lefroy serpente avec une lenteur solennelle à dix kilomètres, tandis que les eaux du Lac Qurlutulik sommeillent à douze kilomètres, conservant une quiétude que seul le passage des oiseaux migrateurs vient troubler. Qarmait demeure un point de repère essentiel pour ceux qui habitent ces terres septentrionales, un lieu où la culture autochtone se transmet par le silence des gestes et la connaissance intime des passages. L’immensité environnante, dépourvue d’artifices, dicte une économie de subsistance et un respect profond pour les cycles naturels de la toundra. Chaque pierre de la Colline Qarmait garde la mémoire des ancêtres, offrant aux regards une beauté austère qui n’a besoin d’aucun embellissement pour affirmer sa dignité face à l’horizon infini.

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 Qarmait 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.
