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 Qimmitaarvik.
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.

Qimmitaarvik is a locality in Baie-d'Hudson; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Qimmitaarvik is located at 61.5656°N, 76.1042°W.
Qimmitaarvik rests with a stark, meditative stillness upon the rugged terrain near the Coteau Majurqaq. It lies 74.5 km south-south-west of Salluit, QC (from Salluit, QC: bearing 199°T), and is situated 7.6 km north-west of Illuvinirtalik. The landscape surrounding Qimmitaarvik is defined by the steady, cold movement of the Rivière Kovik, which cuts through the tundra with a persistent, icy clarity. About 4 km away, the quiet presence of Lac Iqiattavialuk anchors the horizon, its surface often reflecting the pale, thin light that lingers during the long northern dusk. The air here holds a sharp, metallic edge, carrying the scent of damp stone and moss across the open barrens. In this vast expanse, the land does not offer itself easily, demanding a quiet resilience from those who move across its uneven, frozen reaches. Life at Qimmitaarvik follows the seasonal shifts of the north, where the traditional knowledge of the land remains a vital current in daily existence. The economy and local activity are shaped by the rhythms of the environment, drawing heavily from the heritage of the Inuit who have long navigated these waterways and inland routes. The people maintain a profound connection to the surrounding geography, moving with a familiarity that acknowledges the harshness of the climate while valuing the solitude of the interior. Whether following the banks of the Rivière Kovik or observing the changing ice on Lac Iqiattavialuk, the daily life here persists as a disciplined response to the immense, silent authority of the Canadian North.
Qimmitaarvik se déploie dans la rigueur minérale du Nord-du-Québec, là où le ciel bas impose un silence immense sur les terres inuites. À proximité du Coteau Majurqaq, le terrain s'étire dans une nudité austère, sculptée par des vents qui semblent vouloir polir chaque pierre jusqu'à l'oubli. Les eaux de la Rivière Kovik serpentent à travers ce sol gelé, traçant un sillon sombre dans la toundra alors que la lumière décline en teintes cuivrées. À quelques lieues, le Lac Iqiattavialuk dort dans une immobilité glacée, agissant comme un miroir pour les nuages bas qui défilent sans fin au-dessus de l'horizon. La vie à Qimmitaarvik suit le rythme lent des jours arctiques, portée par une mémoire orale qui survit aux assauts du gel et aux transformations du monde moderne. Les habitants observent les cycles de la faune avec une attention héritée des ancêtres, trouvant dans cette rudesse une forme de liberté que seule la solitude des grands espaces permet de saisir. Ici, chaque geste quotidien devient une réponse à l'immensité, une affirmation de présence dans un paysage qui ne promet rien, mais qui offre, à qui sait regarder, la clarté tranchante d'un monde originel.
