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 Sirmisartalik.
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.

Sirmisartalik is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Sirmisartalik is located at 60.6314°N, 69.7975°W.
Sirmisartalik rests upon the stark, enduring terrain of the north, anchored by the cold expanses of the St. Lawrence. It lies 45.8 km south-south-west of Quaqtaq, QC (from Quaqtaq, QC: bearing 192°T), and is situated 8.8 km north-north-west of Arqusiugaq. The land here possesses a raw, unyielding clarity, where the light at dusk flattens against the earth and turns the horizon into a bruised, violet line. Near the Coteau Majurajaaq, the environment is defined by the proximity of Lac Kiviniliup Ungallinga, which sits three kilometers away, offering a still, dark mirror to the vast sky. Further out, the Rivière Upirngiviarjuup carves its path through the tundra roughly six kilometers from the center of Sirmisartalik, its presence felt in the sudden, sharp moisture that catches the wind. The soil is thin and resistant, holding the chill of the long winter deep within its stony grip long after the thaw has begun. Life in Sirmisartalik aligns with the cyclical demands of a landscape that permits little error, echoing a history built on subsistence and the quiet resilience of those who know the language of the ice. The local economy persists through traditional activities and the careful management of resources, dictated by the migratory patterns of wildlife and the seasonal shifts of the waterways. Every task, from the maintenance of equipment to the preparation for the coming freeze, is performed with a deliberate, singular focus. Residents move with a watchful grace, recognizing that the silence of the surrounding expanse is not an emptiness, but a constant, heavy presence that demands respect.
Sirmisartalik s'étire avec une ténacité silencieuse sur les rives froides du Saint-Laurent, là où la lumière déclinante du crépuscule semble suspendre le souffle du monde au-dessus des eaux sombres. Près de Coteau Majurajaaq, le relief se déploie dans une nudité austère, sculpté par des vents qui portent en eux la mémoire des vastes étendues septentrionales. À peine à trois kilomètres, le Lac Kiviniliup Ungallinga capte les reflets argentés du ciel, agissant comme un miroir immobile dans lequel se perdent les songes des rares passants. Non loin, la Rivière Upirngiviarjuup serpente avec une rigueur minérale sur six kilomètres, traçant un sillon d'eau vive à travers la toundra où la terre se fait dure et exigeante. La vie à Sirmisartalik se mesure à l'aune de cette proximité avec les éléments, une existence façonnée par les traditions ancestrales qui persistent dans la rudesse du climat et la solitude des horizons immenses. Ici, le quotidien ne s'embarrasse d'aucun artifice ; il puise sa force dans une relation directe avec le sol et les eaux environnantes. Chaque geste accompli sur ces terres porte la marque d'une adaptation millénaire, affirmant une présence humaine qui, malgré l'immensité sauvage, demeure indéfectiblement liée à la géographie singulière de ce territoire nordique.

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.
