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 Saamuiliup Illunga.
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.

Saamuiliup Illunga is a locality in Baie-d'Hudson; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Saamuiliup Illunga is located at 59.2981°N, 77.7586°W.
Saamuiliup Illunga rests upon the rugged, expansive shores of the St. Lawrence, where the land meets the water in a stark, uncompromising embrace. It lies 86.4 km south-south-west of Puvirnituq, QC (from Puvirnituq, QC: bearing 199°T), and is situated 43.0 km north of Inutsulialuk. The terrain is defined by the proximity of the Colline Ikinialuk, a rise that breaks the horizon and directs the flow of the wind across the tundra. Nearby, the Rivière Bériau carves a path through the earth, its currents mirroring the pale, persistent northern light that lingers long into the evening. Just a kilometer away, the stillness of Lac Tasiujaapik offers a quiet counterpoint to the salt-tinged air rising from the coast, grounding the landscape in a fragile, elemental beauty. The character of Saamuiliup Illunga reflects an enduring history of survival and adaptation, rooted in the traditions of those who have long navigated these northern reaches. Daily life proceeds with a deliberate focus, as the local economy remains closely aligned with the seasonal cycles of the land and the harvesting of resources. The presence of the Rivière Bériau has always provided a vital corridor for movement, shaping the way people interact with the surrounding terrain. In the quiet hours, when the light shifts across the Colline Ikinialuk, the stillness reveals the deep, resonant connection between the people and the expanse of their home, proving that even in such a remote setting, the spirit of the place is defined by the resilience of its inhabitants.
Saamuiliup Illunga s’étire avec une humilité minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent du Nord sculpte le visage du monde avec une patience infinie. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur la Colline Ikinialuk, changeant les roches grises en une étoffe changeante dont la couleur s’efface lentement dans le silence des hautes latitudes. À quelques pas de là, la Rivière Bériau serpente vers l’horizon, ses eaux sombres portant en elles la mémoire des glaces qui, jadis, façonnèrent ce terrain accidenté. Non loin, le Lac Tasiujaapik conserve une immobilité parfaite, miroir obscur qui capte les dernières lueurs d’un ciel immense et dénudé. La vie à Saamuiliup Illunga se règle sur ce rythme austère, où chaque geste quotidien se mesure à l’immensité de l’espace environnant. Les habitants y perpétuent une existence dépouillée de tout artifice, une présence humaine qui semble presque suspendue entre le souffle salin du fleuve et la permanence des reliefs terrestres. Ici, le froid n’est pas une contrainte, mais une condition essentielle qui purifie l’air et aiguise les sens, offrant à ceux qui demeurent en ces lieux une solitude habitée par la majesté brute des éléments.
