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 Tuapaaluit.
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.

Tuapaaluit is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Tuapaaluit is located at 61.4044°N, 71.5808°W.
Tuapaaluit rests within the rugged reach of the Colline Qingannguaq, where the land meets the St. Lawrence in a stark, enduring embrace. It lies 29.2 km south-east of Kangiqsujuaq, QC (from Kangiqsujuaq, QC: bearing 137°T). The air here holds a sharp, clean clarity that settles over the low-lying terrain, defined nearby by the quiet presence of Lagune Kuannitarvik just a kilometer away. While the Rivière Lataille traces its path some fourteen kilometers distant, the immediate surroundings of Tuapaaluit are shaped by a tundra-like resilience and the shifting, pearlescent light that marks the transition between seasons. During the long, lingering dusks, the horizon glows with a bruised violet hue, casting a stillness over the hills that feels both ancient and immediate. The character of Tuapaaluit reflects a deep connection to the northern landscape, where life follows the seasonal movements of the land and the endurance required by such a remote setting. Local traditions prioritize the harvest and the stewardship of the environment, maintaining practices that have sustained inhabitants for generations. Days in Tuapaaluit move according to the necessity of the elements, fostering a quiet focus on the essential tasks of survival and community cohesion. Even as the modern world reaches toward these northern reaches, the spirit of Tuapaaluit remains centered on the physical realities of the terrain and the profound, open silence that defines this part of the country.
Tuapaaluit se déploie sur les rives du Saint-Laurent avec une gravité minérale, là où la Colline Qingannguaq impose sa présence austère face à l'immensité grise des eaux. Le vent qui balaie ces terres nordiques sculpte le relief avec une lenteur exigeante, tandis que la lumière du crépuscule s’étire sur le sol rocailleux, conférant aux roches une teinte bleutée presque irréelle. À peine à un kilomètre de distance, la Lagune Kuannitarvik offre une halte paisible aux éléments, ses eaux dormantes capturant les reflets changeants d'un ciel immense qui semble peser de tout son poids sur le paysage. Plus loin, la Rivière Lataille serpente à travers la toundra, traçant un sillon d'argent dans la rudesse de ce terrain où la vie s'est adaptée à la rigueur du climat. Tuapaaluit demeure un repère solitaire dans cette contrée sauvage, un espace où le silence devient une matière palpable, interrompu seulement par le souffle des marées et le mouvement perpétuel des oiseaux migrateurs. Les traditions ici se transmettent avec la ténacité des lichens qui s'accrochent aux versants de la Colline Qingannguaq, honorant une mémoire liée aux cycles naturels et à la patience infinie du Nord. Chaque pierre et chaque souffle d'air rappellent une existence dépouillée de tout artifice, une solitude habitée par la force brute de la terre.

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.
