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 Qikirtatualiup Sijjangit.
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.

Qikirtatualiup Sijjangit is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Qikirtatualiup Sijjangit is located at 60.1969°N, 70.6106°W.
Qikirtatualiup Sijjangit reveals itself as a stark, resilient expanse of subarctic tundra nestled among the Collines Nuvvuqiulait. It lies 37.9 km west-north-west of Kangirsuk, QC (from Kangirsuk, QC: bearing 302°T), and is situated 61.4 km south-west of Arqusiugaq. The land holds a profound stillness, where the low, golden light of the northern sun stretches across the open ground and catches the crystalline surface of Lac Saint-Denis, located just two kilometers away. Winds from the north carry a sharp, clean clarity, sweeping over the rugged terrain toward the distant path of the Rivière Buet, which flows seven kilometers from the heart of this quiet territory. Here, the earth is defined by its endurance, a vast and unyielding space where the frost-heaved ground and hardy scrub brush hold fast against the persistent chill of the high latitudes. The enduring spirit of Qikirtatualiup Sijjangit reflects a long history of Indigenous presence and deep knowledge of the northern terrain. Life here follows the ancient patterns of the seasons, shaped by the practical necessities of a landscape that demands respect and careful navigation. While the economy remains modest and tied to the stewardship of the land, the cultural identity of the region stays anchored in the traditional practices and survival skills passed down through generations. In the quiet moments between the movements of the wind, one can sense the persistent, grounded strength of a people who find their home in the expansive, silent reaches of the north.
Qikirtatualiup Sijjangit s’éveille sous une clarté boréale qui semble suspendre le souffle des Collines Nuvvuqiulait, là où la terre déploie ses aspérités minérales dans un silence souverain. Le sol, travaillé par les cycles du gel et du dégel, impose une humilité profonde à ceux qui parcourent ces vastes étendues du Nord-du-Québec. À seulement deux kilomètres, les eaux du Lac Saint-Denis capturent les nuances changeantes du ciel, offrant une surface d’une immobilité presque minérale, tandis qu’à sept kilomètres, la Rivière Buet trace son sillon patient à travers le relief accidenté. La vie à Qikirtatualiup Sijjangit se mesure à la patience du vent et à la rudesse magnifique de la toundra qui exige une connaissance intime des passages et des saisons. Ici, l’identité inuite se lit dans la persistance des savoirs ancestraux, dans le respect porté à ces horizons où chaque pierre et chaque courbe du terrain racontent une part de l’histoire du territoire. Le passage du crépuscule sur ces terres dénudées transforme le paysage en une étendue de cuivre et d’ombre, soulignant la solitude grandiose qui caractérise ce coin de pays où la nature, indifférente aux entreprises humaines, demeure la seule autorité véritable.
