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

Sanimuapik is a locality in Baie-d'Hudson; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Sanimuapik is located at 61.5500°N, 75.6481°W.
Sanimuapik sits exposed to the wide, unrelenting sky of Nord-du-Québec, a place defined by the stark reach of the Coteau Majurqaq. It lies 72.3 km south of Salluit, QC (from Salluit, QC: bearing 180°T), and is situated 20.0 km east-north-east of Illuvinirtalik. The land here holds a profound stillness, where the low-angled light of dusk stretches shadows long across the tundra, turning the granite outcrops into silhouettes of deep, bruised violet. Nearby, the Rivière Kuuruq winds its way through the permafrost, carving a path that catches the pale northern sun, while the quiet expanse of Lac Perrault rests in the distance, mirroring the vast, empty clarity of the horizon. In the winter months, the air takes on a brittle, crystalline quality that seems to sharpen every sound, leaving the world hushed under an immense, star-filled dome. Life in Sanimuapik draws its strength from the cycles of the seasons and a deep connection to the coastal environment that has sustained generations. The local economy persists through a blend of traditional harvesting and contemporary enterprise, with residents moving with a purposeful focus as they prepare for the shifting demands of the climate. Elders pass down knowledge of the land, ensuring that the heritage of the region remains vibrant and present in the daily actions of those who call Sanimuapik home. Even as the modern world arrives in small, necessary increments, the people maintain a grounded perspective, finding beauty in the resilience of the hardy vegetation and the sudden, fleeting warmth of the summer thaw.
Sanimuapik s’étire dans l’immensité du Nord, là où la terre semble suspendre son souffle sous une clarté boréale qui transforme chaque pierre en un joyau brut. Près du Coteau Majurqaq, le relief se déploie avec une austérité noble, façonnant un horizon dépouillé que seule la présence discrète de la Rivière Kuuruq vient souligner par son murmure distant à six kilomètres. À huit kilomètres de là, le Lac Perrault offre une étendue d’eau miroitante, captant les derniers éclats d’un soleil qui refuse de décliner tout à fait. La vie à Sanimuapik s’inscrit dans cette rudesse climatique où les vents salins de la Baie-d'Hudson sculptent le quotidien des habitants, héritiers d’une culture autochtone profondément liée au mouvement des glaces et aux cycles de la toundra. Les activités traditionnelles persistent malgré le passage des époques, exigeant une connaissance intime des passages étroits et des plateaux rocheux environnants. Chaque geste, chaque déplacement sur ce sol gelé, honore une sagesse ancienne qui dialogue avec le silence des vastes étendues. Le ciel, immense et changeant, dépose sur Sanimuapik une lumière d’une pureté rare, rappelant à ceux qui y demeurent la nécessité de composer avec la beauté sauvage et indomptable de ce territoire inuit.

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.
