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 Rikitakikok.
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.

Rikitakikok is a locality in La Tuque; Mauricie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Rikitakikok is located at 48.9111°N, 75.0058°W.
Rikitakikok sits amidst the rugged northern expanse of La Tuque, where the land rises in the quiet strength of the Colline Kaotamictikwatinacik. It lies 97.4 km south of Chapais, QC (from Chapais, QC: bearing 187°T), and is situated 22.8 km north-north-west of Seskatciwan. The Rivière Pascagama carves a deliberate path through the terrain, its current reflecting the heavy, bruised purples of a northern dusk. Just three kilometers away, the still surface of Lac Kaaiakotawkakamak holds the sky in a mirror of absolute clarity, offering a stillness that seems to suspend the very air. In this remote corner of the Mauricie, the work of the day follows the seasons, shifting from the deep, muffled silence of winter to the sudden, rushing vigor of the spring thaw. Rikitakikok exists within a landscape that demands a patient attention, where the shadows cast by the hills stretch long and thin over the forest, and the cold, clean wind carries the scent of spruce and damp stone. The history here is rooted in the long presence of Indigenous peoples and the later, seasonal movements of those drawn to the bounty of the bush. Today, the economy leans into the natural yields of the forest and the waterways, maintaining a way of life that values the endurance of the woods over the clamor of the south. Life in Rikitakikok moves with the steady, predictable turning of the year, marked by the cycles of the ice and the long, golden light of the northern summer.
Rikitakikok s’étend dans une solitude boisée où la lumière décline avec une lenteur infinie sur les reliefs de la Colline Kaotamictikwatinacik. Les résidents observent le jour s’éteindre sur les rives de la Rivière Pascagama, dont les eaux sombres et tranquilles semblent porter le silence des forêts anciennes jusqu’aux seuils des maisons. À quelques lieues de là, le Lac Kaaiakotawkakamak recueille les dernières lueurs pourpres du couchant, transformant sa surface en un miroir d’obsidienne froide. La vie à Rikitakikok suit le rythme lent du bois et du vent, une existence tournée vers les gestes simples de ceux qui savent écouter le murmure des conifères et le passage des saisons. Ici, les traditions se transmettent par la fréquentation assidue de ces vastes étendues boréales, où l’air pur et vif rappelle sans cesse la rigueur du climat québécois. L’économie locale, forgée par une longue relation avec la forêt, se devine dans la robustesse des structures et la persévérance des habitants face aux hivers qui transforment le paysage en une étendue blanche et silencieuse. Chaque crépuscule sur ces terres sauvages réaffirme la pérennité d’un mode de vie qui trouve sa noblesse dans la proximité immédiate de la nature, loin du tumulte des cités, dans le calme absolu que seule la géographie de cette région peut offrir.
