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 Sijjait Kangilliit.
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.

Sijjait Kangilliit is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Sijjait Kangilliit is located at 59.7181°N, 70.8408°W.
Sijjait Kangilliit sits stark and resilient within the vast expanse of Nord-du-Québec, defined by the raw, unyielding geometry of the subarctic tundra. It lies 56.4 km south-west of Kangirsuk, QC (from Kangirsuk, QC: bearing 234°T), and is situated 54.6 km west-north-west of Ippikallak. The land here does not offer soft edges; instead, it presents a monochromatic severity where the horizon pulls the eye toward a sky that seems to possess more weight than the earth itself. The Rivière Sijjait carves a path through the permafrost about 6 km away, its waters moving with a glacial, deliberate intent that mirrors the stillness of the surrounding barrens. Nearby, the presence of Lac Tasiviup Qamaninga Tulliq, situated roughly 7 km from the heart of the terrain, adds a dark, reflective depth to the geography, holding the pale northern light like polished stone. Life in Sijjait Kangilliit reflects a long-standing dialogue between the people and a landscape that demands constant vigilance. The local economy and daily movements are shaped by the seasonal shifts of the north, requiring a practical knowledge of the land that has been refined over generations of Indigenous presence. Patterns of movement across the terrain remain dictated by the proximity of the Rivière Sijjait and the sheltered pockets of land near Lac Tasiviup Qamaninga Tulliq, which serve as landmarks in the navigation of the wild. Throughout the year, the atmosphere holds a particular clarity, a biting sharpness that renders every rock and ridge distinct, grounding the inhabitants in a reality that is as demanding as it is quiet.
Sijjait Kangilliit se déploie dans la rigueur austère du Nord-du-Québec, là où la lumière décline avec une lenteur solennelle sur une terre sculptée par le froid. À six kilomètres, la Rivière Sijjait trace un sillon impétueux dans le roc, ses eaux sombres dictant un rythme ancien à ce paysage minéral qui s'étire jusqu'au Lac Tasiviup Qamaninga Tulliq, situé à sept kilomètres de distance. Le silence y possède une épaisseur particulière, celle des espaces immenses où l'air, tranchant et pur, semble suspendre le souffle des choses. Sijjait Kangilliit porte en ses terres la mémoire vivante des traditions inuites, une présence qui se manifeste dans la patience des gestes quotidiens et une connaissance intime de la toundra environnante. Sous le ciel changeant de la région de Rivière-Koksoak, le sol se couvre de lichens et de roches polies par les millénaires, offrant une texture rude sous le pas. La vie ici ne cherche pas à dompter l'étendue, mais s'y dépose avec humilité, trouvant dans la proximité immédiate de la Rivière Sijjait et du Lac Tasiviup Qamaninga Tulliq une source de subsistance et un ancrage profond. Chaque soir, l'horizon s'embrase d'une clarté raréfiée, révélant la noblesse dépouillée d'un territoire qui exige de ses occupants une vigilance constante et un respect farouche.
