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 Sakiassiaq.
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.

Sakiassiaq is a locality in Baie-d'Hudson; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Sakiassiaq is located at 61.3442°N, 75.7867°W.
Sakiassiaq holds its ground within the vast, austere reaches of the Baie-d'Hudson region, where the land opens wide toward a horizon that never seems to end. It lies 95.4 km south of Salluit, QC (from Salluit, QC: bearing 184°T), and is situated 22.2 km south-south-east of Illuvinirtalik. The terrain surrounding Sakiassiaq is defined by the sharp, imposing presence of the Coteau Saliangajaaq and the persistent, cold currents of the Rivière Qimiit Itivia Siturqaq. A mere two kilometers away, the still waters of Lac Sakiassiap Tasinga reflect the pale, searching light that characterizes the northern sky, holding the stillness of the tundra in its depths. When the wind moves across the rocky ground, it carries a clarity that sharpens every shadow, emphasizing the rugged, unyielding texture of the earth. Here, the air possesses a crystalline quality, biting and clean, that seems to strip away the distractions of the world until only the essential form of the landscape remains. Life in Sakiassiaq flows in resonance with the seasonal shifts of the north, anchored by generations of Indigenous knowledge that guide the movement of people across the land. The economy relies upon a deep familiarity with the local environment, where the cycles of the ice and the migrations across the Rivière Qimiit Itivia Siturqaq dictate the patterns of the day. Traditions endure in the quiet preparation of gear and the shared work of harvesting, activities that have persisted long before modern maps marked these coordinates. Beneath the expansive, indifferent sky, the people of Sakiassiaq maintain a steady, purposeful existence, finding beauty in the resilience required to thrive where the winter light lingers long and the summer sun barely touches the horizon.
Sakiassiaq déploie sa présence minérale sur les terres vastes et austères du Nord, là où la lumière décline avec une lenteur solennelle, étirant des ombres mauves sur le relief accidenté. À proximité immédiate, le Coteau Saliangajaaq semble guetter l'horizon, imposant sa stature silencieuse au-dessus des étendues sauvages qui bordent les rives de la Rivière Qimiit Itivia Siturqaq. L'eau y circule avec une limpidité glaciale, charriant le souvenir des glaces anciennes dans un murmure qui ponctue le calme plat de la toundra. À peine à deux kilomètres de distance, le Lac Sakiassiap Tasinga offre ses eaux immobiles au ciel changeant, composant un miroir sombre où s'abreuvent les vents constants venus de la baie. Dans cet environnement dépouillé, Sakiassiaq maintient un lien ténu avec la rudesse du climat, une existence façonnée par l'observation attentive des cycles naturels et une patience héritée des traditions inuites. Chaque pierre, chaque inflexion du terrain autour de la Rivière Qimiit Itivia Siturqaq raconte une adaptation rigoureuse, presque invisible, à un monde qui ne tolère aucune superficialité. Ici, la beauté n'est pas une parure, mais une évidence brute qui surgit à l'instant précis où le crépuscule suspend son souffle sur les étendues désertes.

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.
