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 Siikuunsiiwan.
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.

Siikuunsiiwan is a locality in Eeyou Istchee Baie-James; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Siikuunsiiwan is located at 50.1872°N, 73.9336°W.
Siikuunsiiwan occupies a quiet, rugged expanse of land along the shore of Lac Waconichi, defined by the enduring presence of the Mont Waco. It lies 25.8 km south of Mistissini, QC (from Mistissini, QC: bearing 188°T), and is situated 10.3 km south-west of Mine-Icon-Sullivan. The terrain here holds a particular quality of light, a pale, northern clarity that catches the edges of the dark conifers and turns the surface of the lake into a mirror of hammered silver at the approach of dusk. Beyond the immediate rise of the hills, the landscape remains spare and vast, defined by the deep, glacial cold that defines this part of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James. The air itself feels thin and scrubbed clean, carrying the scent of damp stone and pine needles even when the wind shifts to signal a change in the weather. The history of Siikuunsiiwan is deeply rooted in the traditions of the Eeyou people, whose relationship with the land remains the primary pulse of the region. Life here follows the seasonal necessities of the northern climate, where the Rivière Bignell, located about 7 km away, serves as a reminder of the constant, slow movement of water through the wilderness. While the local economy is shaped by the realities of the north, the focus remains on a careful stewardship of the resources found within the Mont Waco. Locals move through their days with a steady, deliberate focus, acknowledging that in a land this vast, the most significant events are often the smallest shifts in the ice or the return of the geese in the spring.
Siikuunsiiwan se dresse avec une austérité tranquille sur les rives du Lac Waconichi, là où le relief accidenté du Mont Waco impose sa stature minérale au regard. L’air y possède une clarté tranchante qui semble suspendre le mouvement des heures, tandis que la lumière du crépuscule s’attarde sur les roches anciennes avec une douceur presque irréelle. À sept kilomètres de là, la Rivière Bignell poursuit son cours immuable, murmurant aux boisés environnants une présence d’eau vive qui sculpte la géographie intime de ce territoire. Les habitants de Siikuunsiiwan habitent cette rudesse septentrionale avec une patience héritée des traditions cries de Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, trouvant dans la rigueur du climat une forme de liberté silencieuse. Loin de l’agitation urbaine, la vie locale s’ajuste aux exigences du terrain, privilégiant une existence sobre où chaque geste est dicté par la proximité immédiate avec la terre et l’étendue sauvage. Les vastes horizons du Nord-du-Québec s’ouvrent ici sans artifice, offrant à Siikuunsiiwan une solitude noble, portée par le souffle constant qui balaie les crêtes du Mont Waco et vient mourir en rides légères à la surface du Lac Waconichi.

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.
