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 Qinnivik.
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.

Qinnivik is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Qinnivik is located at 62.1281°N, 74.5647°W.
Qinnivik occupies a stark, commanding position along the St. Lawrence, where the land rises into the rugged elevation of the Colline Paurngatarvialuk. It lies 56.9 km east of Salluit, QC (from Salluit, QC: bearing 98°T), and is situated 3.4 km east-north-east of Déception. The Rivière Déception cuts through this northern terrain, carving a path that defines the movement and perspective of the landscape. Five kilometers distant, the surface of Lac Qungapaliup Tasinga holds the stillness of the high latitude, mirroring a sky that shifts from bruised violet to a piercing, crystalline blue as the light thins. Here, the air carries a sharp, metallic clarity that quickens the breath, and the low-slung vegetation clings to the rock as if bracing against the persistent pull of the wind. Qinnivik exists as a point of human persistence within the vast, exposed reaches of the north, shaped by the practical demands of life in a climate that brooks little interference. The economy and daily routines are bound to the rhythms of the seasons, where the seasonal freeze and thaw of the Rivière Déception dictate the flow of supplies and the reach of those who travel the land. Tradition here is marked by a quiet, enduring self-reliance, with knowledge of the terrain passed down through generations who understand the subtle shifts in the ice and the specific, haunting calls of the migratory birds. In the silence that settles over the Colline Paurngatarvialuk after the sun dips low, the character of Qinnivik reveals itself not in noise or expansion, but in the steady, focused gravity of a life lived in direct contact with the elemental forces of the Canadian north.
Qinnivik se déploie avec une austérité souveraine sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le relief s'incline pour épouser la Colline Paurngatarvialuk. Le vent, chargé d'une fraîcheur marine, remonte le cours de la Rivière Déception, sculptant le minéral et le givre dans une danse immuable. Non loin de là, les eaux apaisées du Lac Qungapaliup Tasinga retiennent les reflets d'un ciel boréal qui semble s'étirer à l'infini, baignant les roches d'une lumière de nacre dès que le crépuscule s'attarde. Qinnivik porte en ses fondations le poids du labeur minier, une activité qui façonne le quotidien de ses habitants et dicte le rythme des allées et venues sur ce sol tourmenté. La rudesse du climat, loin d'être un obstacle, forge une identité résiliente, profondément liée aux traditions ancestrales qui persistent dans le silence de la toundra environnante. Entre les sommets de la Colline Paurngatarvialuk et le courant vif de la Rivière Déception, le paysage s'impose comme une présence organique, exigeante et sublime. Ici, chaque geste humain s'inscrit dans une géographie de contrastes où le froid sublime les formes, offrant aux résidents une existence dépouillée de tout artifice, tournée vers la pureté brute des éléments.

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 Qinnivik 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.
