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 Upirngivituqaq.
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.

Upirngivituqaq is a locality in Eeyou Istchee Baie-James; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Upirngivituqaq is located at 54.8942°N, 78.8928°W.
Upirngivituqaq rests upon the rugged, wind-scoured edges of the St. Lawrence, where the horizon stretches into a vast expanse of gray water and light. It lies 84.6 km west-south-west of Kuujjuarapik, QC (from Kuujjuarapik, QC: bearing 240°T), and is situated 31.6 km west-south-west of Tupialuviniq. The land surrounding Upirngivituqaq reveals itself in low, resilient outcrops of rock and hardy moss, enduring the long silences of the northern climate. To the east, the Rivière Vauquelin pulls at the terrain, its currents carving a path through the stubborn earth, while further inland, the quiet surface of Lac Kamaschakwakamach holds the reflection of the sky in a stillness that feels ancient. At dusk, the light here does not merely fade; it thins into a translucent silver, sharpening the shadows of the stones and lending the air a crisp, biting clarity that tastes of salt and distant ice. The legacy of Upirngivituqaq draws deeply from the enduring traditions of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, where the survival of generations has been tied to the seasonal shifts of the water and the land. Life in Upirngivituqaq moves with a deliberate awareness of the environment, respecting the cycles that govern the movement of wildlife and the availability of resources. While modern necessities have found their place, the core of daily existence remains anchored in the knowledge passed through family lines, prioritizing a quiet stewardship of the coastal reaches. Here, the hum of industry is eclipsed by the sound of the wind moving over the shoreline, a persistent reminder that the people of Upirngivituqaq exist in a measured dialogue with a landscape that demands both respect and patience.
Upirngivituqaq s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le ciel boréal semble s'abaisser pour caresser la rudesse minérale du sol. Dans ce silence immense de la région de Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, la lumière décline avec une lenteur solennelle, étirant des ombres longues sur les rochers polis par les vents du nord. À huit kilomètres de là, la rivière Vauquelin poursuit son cours discret, tandis que le lac Kamaschakwakamach, situé à treize kilomètres, conserve dans ses profondeurs sombres le secret des terres froides. Upirngivituqaq exhale une présence singulière, une persistance qui défie l'aridité du climat par la solidité de ses structures basses et le rythme immuable de ses habitants, héritiers d'un savoir-faire autochtone qui façonne le quotidien. L'air, pur et tranchant comme une lame, porte en lui les échos d'une histoire liée étroitement aux cycles de la terre et de l'eau. Ici, la vie ne se mesure pas à l'agitation, mais à la capacité de demeurer fidèle aux éléments, dans ce dépouillement où chaque rocher et chaque étendue d'eau semblent exister depuis toujours, imperturbables sous l'immensité grise du crépuscule.
