This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Umiarivik, Quebec. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Umiarivik.
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.

Umiarivik is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Umiarivik is located at 60.2081°N, 69.6078°W.
Umiarivik rests as a solitary sentinel within the Colline Kiakiak, where the expansive waters of the St. Lawrence meet the rugged, unyielding terrain of the north. It lies 31.4 km north-east of Kangirsuk, QC (from Kangirsuk, QC: bearing 48°T), and is situated 7.7 km north-east of Tupirviit. The land here holds a profound, crystalline stillness, punctuated only by the proximity of Lac Itiirtitaarvik, which lies a mere kilometer away to reflect the bruised violets and pale golds of the subarctic sky. Further out, the Rivière Gadois carves its path through the stone some fourteen kilometers distant, serving as a reminder of the ancient, slow-moving forces that shaped this horizon. The air in Umiarivik carries a sharp, metallic clarity that clarifies the senses, making the distant ridges seem close enough to touch against the deepening blue of twilight. Life in Umiarivik persists through a deep connection to the land and the seasonal shifts of the Nord-du-Québec region, where the cold demands a deliberate, measured way of being. Residents maintain a heritage rooted in the traditions of the Rivière-Koksoak, relying on the land’s quiet offerings and a resilience born from generations of navigating the coastal landscape. The local economy stays attuned to the cycles of the seasons, honoring the knowledge passed down by those who understood how to thrive amidst the vast, open silence of the north. As the sun dips low, the shadows stretch across the Colline Kiakiak, grounding the daily activities of the people in a reality that is both stark and beautiful.
Umiarivik s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle du Nord sculpte la Colline Kiakiak en une architecture de roche et de vent. La lumière déclinante y révèle une terre dépouillée, où le silence se fait dense autour du Lac Itiirtitaarvik, immobile à peine à un kilomètre de distance. Plus loin, la Rivière Gadois serpente à travers la toundra, traçant un sillon d’argent dans un paysage que les traditions inuites habitent depuis des générations. Les habitants de Umiarivik entretiennent une relation intime avec ces horizons vastes, où la survie dépend d’une lecture attentive des glaces et des marées. Ici, le froid n’est pas un obstacle, mais une présence familière qui impose une rigueur nécessaire à la vie quotidienne. Le sol, marqué par des millénaires de gel, soutient des structures simples, résilientes face aux bourrasques qui dévalent les pentes. À mesure que le crépuscule bascule vers les nuances insaisissables de l’outremer, la géographie semble se resserrer autour des foyers, offrant un refuge contre l’immensité arctique. La permanence de ce cadre naturel dicte les rythmes de l’existence, un équilibre fragile où la mémoire des anciens guide chaque geste posé sur cette terre austère et magnifique.

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.
