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 Sirmisarniavik.
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.

Sirmisarniavik is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Sirmisarniavik is located at 60.8806°N, 69.6261°W.
Sirmisarniavik rests upon the rugged, wind-swept margins of the St. Lawrence, where the horizon meets the harsh, unyielding stone of the Collines Jagged. It lies 17.0 km south of Quaqtaq, QC (from Quaqtaq, QC: bearing 182°T), and is situated 15.9 km south-south-west of Inuksuapik. Beyond the immediate shoreline, the land reveals its austere character through the proximity of Lac Taqulikkut, which sits a mere four kilometers away, holding the pale northern light like a mirror of hammered silver. Further inland, the Rivière Qinnuajuartalik carves a quiet, persistent path through the tundra, its flow marking the passage of seasons in a landscape where the air is often sharp enough to taste. The terrain here does not offer easy shelter, yet it possesses a stark clarity that forces the eyes to trace every contour of the rock and every shift in the brooding, slate-colored sky. The history of Sirmisarniavik persists in the quiet endurance of those who have long navigated the seasonal shifts of the Nord-du-Québec region. Life in Sirmisarniavik finds its focus in the traditions of the land, where the local economy remains closely aligned with the seasonal cycles of the north and the stewardship of the surrounding environment. Daily routines here are defined by the cold, clear clarity of the morning and the way the twilight lingers, casting long, violet shadows over the frozen earth. While the outside world moves with a different urgency, Sirmisarniavik maintains a singular focus on the seasonal harvest and the preservation of cultural knowledge passed down through generations. There is a profound stillness in the way the local residents move through their day, a deliberate pace that acknowledges the immense scale of the geography and the necessity of mutual reliance in such a remote expanse.
Sirmisarniavik s'éveille sous une lumière boréale, là où les eaux du Saint-Laurent viennent lécher les rives austères du Nord-du-Québec. Le paysage, façonné par des millénaires de gel, se déploie dans une nudité minérale que ponctuent les silhouettes lointaines des Collines Jagged, dressées tels des sentinelles immuables contre l'immensité du ciel. À seulement quatre kilomètres, le Lac Taqulikkut offre un miroir immobile où le crépuscule dépose des teintes d'ambre et de cuivre, tandis que la Rivière Qinnuajuartalik serpente à treize kilomètres de là, guidant les murmures du vent vers les terres intérieures. Dans la rigueur de ces espaces, Sirmisarniavik préserve une identité façonnée par les cycles de la toundra et la proximité constante de l'eau, héritage vivant des traditions inuites qui habitent ces étendues depuis des temps immémoriaux. Les habitants, habitués à la rudesse du climat, entretiennent un rapport de respect profond envers cette terre dépouillée, où chaque changement de marée dicte le rythme des journées. L'air, pur et tranchant comme une lame, porte en lui le souvenir des glaces anciennes, conférant à chaque geste quotidien une solennité presque religieuse, loin du tumulte du monde moderne.

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.
