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 Sijjaruluit.
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.

Sijjaruluit is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Sijjaruluit is located at 61.0211°N, 69.4886°W.
Sijjaruluit rests in the stark, expansive embrace of the Colline Qarliik, where the land meets the St. Lawrence with a quiet, persistent gravity. It lies 7.0 km east of Quaqtaq, QC (from Quaqtaq, QC: bearing 101°T), and is situated 7.2 km south-south-east of Cape Hopes Advance. The horizon here holds a particular, sharp clarity, especially when the light at dusk flattens against the tundra and turns the earth the color of bruised iron. Within this vast expanse, Lac Iqalulik sits just 2 km away, its surface often mirroring the low, heavy clouds that drift inland from the coast. Nearby, the Rivière Qinnuajuartalik carves a path through the terrain some 7 km distant, its movement a constant, cold murmur beneath the silence of the North. The air in Sijjaruluit carries a crisp, bracing weight that clarifies the senses, reminding anyone who stands upon this ground of the sheer scale of the surrounding wilderness. Life in Sijjaruluit moves in alignment with the seasons, shaped by a deep, enduring connection to the land and the traditional knowledge that has sustained its inhabitants for generations. The economy remains rooted in the rhythms of the environment, where the harvesting of local resources continues to provide both sustenance and a sense of continuity. Visitors might notice how the architecture of the settlement sits low and sturdy against the wind, a practical response to the demands of the climate. Despite the isolation, Sijjaruluit maintains a distinct cultural character, defined by the resilience of its people and an intimate familiarity with the shifts of the ice and the migrations of the wildlife that traverse this rugged terrain.
Sijjaruluit se déploie avec une patience minérale sur les rives vastes du Saint-Laurent, là où le relief s’élève pour former la Colline Qarliik. La lumière déclinante y accroche les aspérités de la terre, révélant une austérité qui ne se livre qu’à ceux qui acceptent le silence des grands espaces nordiques. À deux kilomètres de distance, le Lac Iqalulik semble retenir en ses profondeurs sombres le souvenir d’un ciel changeant, tandis que la Rivière Qinnuajuartalik serpente à sept kilomètres, traçant un sillon d’argent à travers la toundra pour rejoindre le fleuve. Sijjaruluit porte en elle la mémoire des gestes anciens, ceux qui, dans la rigueur du climat, ont appris à lire les signes de la glace et du vent. Les habitants, habitués à la persistance du froid, vivent au rythme d’une terre qui ne demande rien, sinon le respect de ses cycles immuables. Chaque pierre de la Colline Qarliik semble conserver la chaleur d’un été bref, une promesse de vie qui persiste malgré l’immensité environnante. Ici, l’air est d’une pureté tranchante, purifiant chaque pensée et soulignant la solitude apaisante de ce territoire où l’horizon, loin de fermer le monde, l’ouvre sur une perspective infinie.

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.
