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

Qukkialuk is a locality in Baie-d'Hudson; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Qukkialuk is located at 62.1861°N, 75.7708°W.
Qukkialuk rests along the rugged margins of the St. Lawrence, where the land rises sharply into the Colline Qaggialuk. It lies 6.5 km west-south-west of Salluit, QC (from Salluit, QC: bearing 256°T), and is situated 12.9 km west-south-west of Qikkigiaq. The Rivière Foucault carves a path through the terrain, its cold currents offering a constant, low-frequency hum against the stillness of the tundra. Only a kilometer away, the quiet basin of Lac Tasikutaaruluk mirrors the low-hanging northern light, which turns the rocky outcrops into long, violet shadows as the sun retreats. The air here holds a sharp, crystalline clarity, tasting of salt and ancient stone, and the ground beneath is a resilient expanse of lichen and exposed earth. Life in Qukkialuk persists through a deep familiarity with the cycle of the seasons, where the economy remains tied to the traditional harvesting of the land and the surrounding waters. Elders pass down the knowledge of the tides and the shifting ice, ensuring that the heritage of the region stays vibrant despite the isolation of the Nord-du-Québec landscape. Daily existence follows the movement of the wind and the migration of wildlife, a quiet persistence that defines the character of Qukkialuk. Whether navigating the banks of the Rivière Foucault or watching the ice settle over Lac Tasikutaaruluk, the inhabitants maintain a profound connection to the Colline Qaggialuk that has guided generations before them.
Qukkialuk s’étire avec une austérité minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent sculpte sans relâche la roche ancienne de la Colline Qaggialuk. Dans cette contrée du Nord-du-Québec, le sol garde le souvenir des glaces, offrant une terre ferme qui domine les eaux froides. À proximité, le cours de la Rivière Foucault serpente dans une vallée dépouillée de tout superflu, tandis que le Lac Tasikutaaruluk, blotti à quelques pas, semble retenir le ciel dans son miroir immobile. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une densité particulière, une limpidité presque blessante qui révèle chaque aspérité du terrain et chaque nuance de gris dans cette étendue sauvage. Qukkialuk impose une présence sobre, façonnée par la rigueur du climat et le mouvement lent des marées qui battent la côte. Ici, la vie se mesure à l’aune de la patience et d’un respect profond pour les éléments qui dictent leur loi. Les habitants, héritiers d’une culture intimement liée à ces espaces vastes, vivent en harmonie avec cette géographie où l’eau et la pierre ne font qu’un, offrant à l’œil un paysage dépouillé où chaque rocher raconte une histoire de survie et de permanence sous l’immensité polaire.

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.
