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 Uskahus Achimuwakanut.
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.

Uskahus Achimuwakanut is a locality in Eeyou Istchee Baie-James; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Uskahus Achimuwakanut is located at 54.8592°N, 74.0456°W.
Uskahus Achimuwakanut sits amidst the vast, enduring stillness of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, where the land holds the memory of ancient glacial retreats. It lies 231.9 km west-north-west of Brisay, QC (from Brisay, QC: bearing 283°T), and is situated 14.8 km west-south-west of Chinusaw Pachistiwakan. The Grande rivière de la Baleine carves a deep, deliberate path through the terrain, its current providing a constant, low-frequency pulse that defines the local geography. Only six kilometers away, the stillness of Lac Kakanamasiuch offers a stark contrast to the moving water, its surface often catching the bruised purples and golds of an extended northern twilight. The air here carries a sharp, metallic clarity, tasting of lichen and cold stone, while the stunted spruce trees stand like sentinels against the persistent wind. Generations of local families have maintained a deep connection to this territory, moving through the seasons with an awareness of the land’s shifting demands. The economy of Uskahus Achimuwakanut remains linked to the cycles of the bush, with traditions of hunting and gathering preserved as essential practices rather than mere heritage. Life here does not follow the frantic pace of the south; instead, it aligns with the seasonal freeze and thaw, where the arrival of spring ice-break is a communal event of profound significance. The silence of the region is not an absence of sound, but a heavy, watchful presence that demands respect from anyone passing through the river valley.
Uskahus Achimuwakanut s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives de la Grande rivière de la Baleine, là où l’air vif du Nord-du-Québec semble sculpter chaque relief avec une rigueur silencieuse. Le terrain, marqué par le passage des âges et la persistance des traditions cries, se déploie dans une nudité grandiose, offrant au regard l’immensité d’un territoire où la lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les eaux sombres avec une lenteur presque cérémonielle. À six kilomètres de distance, le Lac Kakanamasiuch dort sous un ciel immense, miroir immobile d’un horizon sans fin qui définit le rythme quotidien de ceux qui habitent ces terres. Dans cette étendue sauvage de Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, Uskahus Achimuwakanut impose sa présence comme une halte nécessaire, un point de repère humble face à la puissance indomptable du paysage boréal. La terre y est dure, chargée des récits transmis par les anciens, tandis que le courant de la Grande rivière de la Baleine rappelle sans cesse le mouvement perpétuel de la vie autochtone. Ici, l’existence ne cherche pas à dompter l’espace, mais s’y ajuste, épousant les caprices du climat et la texture rugueuse du sol pour maintenir une continuité précieuse avec les racines profondes de cet environnement boréal.
