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 Tunirtait.
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.

Tunirtait is a locality in Baie-d'Hudson; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Tunirtait is located at 62.2617°N, 75.5856°W.
Tunirtait rests along the rugged margins of the St. Lawrence, a silent sentinel perched within the Colline Qarqakallak. It lies 7.6 km north-north-east of Salluit, QC (from Salluit, QC: bearing 26°T), and is situated 2.5 km north-west of Qikkigiaq. The land here holds the sharp clarity of the north, where the light at dusk stretches long and thin across the tundra, turning the stones a bruised, luminous violet. Only a kilometer away, the stillness of Lac Igalaassasivik mirrors the low, wandering clouds, while the distant, insistent pull of the Rivière Aupartuapiup serves as a constant, cold reminder of the water’s relentless movement toward the sea. Tunirtait maintains a quiet endurance, shaped by generations who have learned to thrive in the brief, intense summers and the long, deep freeze of the northern winter. Life in Tunirtait follows the seasonal shifts of the ice and the migrations that move through this vast, open horizon. Traditions here are kept close, rooted in the expertise of reading the wind and the migration of local wildlife, ensuring that the heritage of the land remains the primary guide for daily life. The economy stays modest and focused, centered on the necessities of survival and the careful stewardship of the resources found within the Colline Qarqakallak, where the air tastes of salt and ancient, undisturbed frost.
Tunirtait s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le ciel bas du Nord-du-Québec semble peser sur les roches anciennes de la Colline Qarqakallak. Dans ce silence minéral, la lumière du crépuscule s'attarde sur les pentes, révélant une terre dépouillée de tout artifice, où le vent sculpte le sol avec une régularité implacable. À proximité, le Lac Igalaassasivik conserve une immobilité glaciale, miroir sombre qui absorbe les derniers éclats du jour, tandis que la Rivière Aupartuapiup trace un sillage argenté à travers les étendues sauvages. La vie à Tunirtait s'ajuste aux caprices de cet environnement austère, une existence rythmée par la rudesse des éléments et la persistance des traditions qui lient les habitants à ces espaces vastes. Ici, le regard porte loin vers l'horizon marin, saisissant la texture brute du rivage où les glaces et les marées modifient sans cesse le contour des choses. Les hommes et les femmes qui habitent ce secteur vivent une quotidienneté simple, tournée vers les ressources que la toundra et l'eau offrent avec parcimonie, dans une harmonie silencieuse avec la géographie qui impose sa loi souveraine sur chaque parcelle de ce territoire isolé.

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.
