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 Tatainaq.
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.

Tatainaq is a locality in Baie-d'Hudson; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Tatainaq is located at 59.7131°N, 75.4675°W.
Tatainaq occupies a stark, singular position on the shore of Lac Parry, where the land yields to the expansive, unyielding reach of the north. It lies 107.0 km east-south-east of Puvirnituq, QC (from Puvirnituq, QC: bearing 109°T). The low profile of the Colline Uummanait rises from the surrounding tundra, providing a fixed anchor against the immense, shifting light that defines the horizon. Within this northern expanse, the air carries a crisp, metallic edge, sharpening the silhouette of the rocks and the deep, still waters of Lac Parry. Life in Tatainaq follows the demands of a subarctic climate, where the transition of seasons dictates the movement of people and the activities of the day. Generations have lived in balance with these conditions, drawing upon deep-rooted Indigenous knowledge to navigate the terrain. Today, Tatainaq functions as a quiet outpost where the economy remains closely tied to the land and the seasonal cycles of the region. The persistence of local traditions continues to shape the character of the settlement, ensuring that the habits of life remain as steady and enduring as the stone of the Colline Uummanait itself.
Tatainaq se déploie dans une nudité minérale où la lumière du crépuscule étire des ombres démesurées sur le sol gelé. Les habitations de Tatainaq s'agrippent aux rives du Lac Parry avec une humilité farouche, subissant les assauts d'un vent qui semble vouloir effacer chaque trace de présence humaine. À proximité, la Colline Uummanait se dresse comme une sentinelle silencieuse, observant le ciel boréal qui s'embrase de teintes cuivrées sur la toundra. Ici, la terre ne pardonne rien et la vie s'organise selon une sobriété rigoureuse, dictée par la rudesse du climat et la proximité immédiate de l'eau. Les traditions ancestrales des peuples du Nord persistent dans le silence des foyers, imprégnant les gestes quotidiens d'une sagesse transmise par le froid. L'économie locale, tournée vers une subsistance respectueuse des cycles naturels, puise sa force dans cette solitude géographique. Chaque souffle d'air transporte une aridité pure, rappelant sans cesse que la nature demeure la seule souveraine. La présence de la Colline Uummanait stabilise le regard, offrant un repère immuable au milieu d'un horizon sans fin, tandis que les eaux du Lac Parry conservent, sous leur surface immobile, la mémoire des temps anciens et le calme profond d'un monde resté sauvage.

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.
