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 Sikunitakuhp.
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.

Sikunitakuhp is a locality in Eeyou Istchee Baie-James; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Sikunitakuhp is located at 51.9856°N, 78.6986°W.
Sikunitakuhp rises from the rugged expanse of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, defined by the quiet persistence of the northern wilderness. It lies 32.4 km south-south-west of Eastmain, QC (from Eastmain, QC: bearing 205°T), and is situated 6.5 km south-south-west of Echechempisut. The land here holds the stillness of the north, where the cold air carries a sharp, crystalline clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the horizon. Nearby, the Colline Neminananchish looms as a steady presence against the sky, while the Rivière Jolicoeur traces a dark, winding path through the terrain. When the light fades toward dusk, the surface of the water catches the pale glow of the fading sun, reflecting a landscape that feels both vast and intimate in its solitude. The history of Sikunitakuhp rests upon the traditional knowledge of those who have moved through these woods and waterways for generations. Life here follows the patterns set by the changing seasons, with the economy finding its footing in the resources provided by the surrounding earth and the currents of the Rivière Jolicoeur. The proximity to the St. Lawrence informs the character of the region, grounding the inhabitants in a cycle of activity that respects the demands of the subarctic climate. In the quiet hours of the day, one might notice how the wind moves through the low brush, a sound that serves as a constant reminder of the wild, unyielding nature that encircles the settlement.
Sikunitakuhp s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent du nord sculpte l’espace avec une rigueur qui force le respect. Dans ce territoire vaste de Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, la lumière déclinante du soir accroche les reliefs de la Colline Neminananchish, prolongeant des ombres longues sur un sol qui garde en mémoire les gestes anciens des Premières Nations. Les eaux de la Rivière Jolicoeur serpentent vers l’estuaire, offrant une présence liquide qui rythme le quotidien de ceux qui habitent Sikunitakuhp depuis des générations. Ici, le paysage ne se laisse pas apprivoiser facilement, imposant une sobriété austère que seuls les arbres rabougris et les roches polies par le froid parviennent à adoucir. Les habitants observent le passage des marées avec une attention silencieuse, une habitude héritée d'un lien profond avec ce littoral où l'immensité du ciel rencontre la rudesse de la terre boréale. Le mouvement des eaux et la silhouette immobile de la Colline Neminananchish dictent une existence tournée vers les éléments, loin de l'agitation urbaine, privilégiant une forme de sagesse que seule la proximité constante avec la nature sauvage permet de cultiver dans cette région du Nord-du-Québec.
