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 Sijjaaluit.
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.

Sijjaaluit is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Sijjaaluit is located at 59.8886°N, 69.8486°W.
Sijjaaluit rests within the stark, expansive reach of the Colline Qattunaaq, a land defined by the cold clarity of the north. It lies 17.5 km south-east of Kangirsuk, QC (from Kangirsuk, QC: bearing 145°T), and is situated 10.9 km west-south-west of Inussuit Tunirtait. The terrain holds a profound stillness, where the Rivière Brochant winds through the broken, rocky ground, carving a path toward the St. Lawrence. Here, the light at dusk settles long and low against the ridges, turning the stone a bruised, metallic violet before the darkness takes hold. Only two kilometers away, the quiet surface of Lac Arqutiruluk mirrors the vast, indifferent sky, anchoring the horizon in a stillness that feels as old as the earth itself. The life of Sijjaaluit persists in alignment with the shifting seasons, drawing strength from an enduring Indigenous heritage that informs the daily movement of its people. The local economy and traditional practices move with the water and the weather, relying on the knowledge of the land to navigate the brief, intense summers and the long, deep freeze of the winter. Every inhabitant knows the temper of the Rivière Brochant, a waterway that dictates the seasonal pulse of activity and reflection. In the shadow of the Colline Qattunaaq, the air carries a sharp, clean bite, reminding those who stay that the landscape demands both respect and a quiet, persistent vigilance.
Sijjaaluit s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle du Nord rencontre la terre ferme dans une immensité dépouillée de tout artifice. Dominant le rivage, la Colline Qattunaaq observe le mouvement incessant des marées, tandis que les eaux de la Rivière Brochant serpentent à travers le terrain accidenté pour rejoindre le grand fleuve. À peine éloigné de deux kilomètres, le Lac Arqutiruluk repose dans une tranquillité minérale, ses contours dessinés par une lumière austère qui semble suspendre le temps lors des crépuscules boréaux. La vie à Sijjaaluit se règle sur ces éléments premiers, dans un silence profond que seul le vent vient parfois troubler, rappelant aux habitants la rudesse magnifique de ce territoire où les traditions inuites dictent depuis des générations le rythme des jours. Ici, chaque geste est une réponse aux exigences du climat, une manière de s'accorder avec la roche et l'eau glacée. Les saisons modifient la texture de l'horizon, passant du gris perlé des brumes printanières au blanc aveuglant des neiges persistantes, imposant une sobriété nécessaire qui définit l'existence de ceux qui habitent ces terres septentrionales. Sijjaaluit demeure un repère solitaire, une présence humaine qui persiste avec dignité face à la grandeur sauvage du paysage québécois.

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.
