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 Uspiskun Kaa-Akutaach.
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.

Uspiskun Kaa-Akutaach is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Uspiskun Kaa-Akutaach is located at 56.0912°N, 67.3204°W.
Uspiskun Kaa-Akutaach rests amidst the vast, subarctic stillness of the Rivière-Koksoak, where the land holds its breath under a wide, pale sky. It lies 146.9 km north-north-west of Schefferville, QC (from Schefferville, QC: bearing 348°T), and is situated 15.6 km south-south-east of Manikanis. The Rivière Wheeler flows with a persistent, frigid clarity past the low-lying ridges that define the perimeter of Uspiskun Kaa-Akutaach, carving a path through the ancient, resistant rock. Only a kilometer away, the surface of Lac Uspiskun Kaa-Akutaach catches the sharp, low-angled light of the sun, reflecting a brightness that seems to amplify the surrounding silence. The wind here carries a metallic sharpness, tasting of lichen and cold stone, and the terrain remains stubbornly indifferent to the passage of seasons. Life throughout this region reflects the enduring legacy of the Naskapi and Inuit, whose ancestors navigated these waterways long before the modern era. The economy of Uspiskun Kaa-Akutaach relies on a deep, practical knowledge of the land, favoring traditional harvesting practices that have sustained families through generations of harsh winters. While the modern world touches the edges of this wilderness, the daily existence of those who know the Rivière Wheeler best is dictated by the freeze and thaw cycles of the water. Even today, the quietude of the landscape provides a rare, stark clarity that defines the character of the region, grounding the inhabitants in a reality that demands patience and respect for the elements.
Uspiskun Kaa-Akutaach se déploie dans la rigueur silencieuse du Nord-du-Québec, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle sous une lumière boréale qui étire les ombres jusqu’à l’infini. La Rivière Wheeler serpente à travers ce territoire minéral, dessinant un sillage d’argent entre les roches anciennes et une toundra qui ne connaît que l’essentiel. À une courte distance, le Lac Uspiskun Kaa-Akutaach dépose ses eaux sombres dans une cuvette naturelle, miroir immobile où se reflètent les passages furtifs des nuages. Le vent qui balaie ces vastes étendues porte en lui la mémoire des traditions autochtones, une permanence qui défie les soubresauts de l’histoire moderne. Dans cet isolement géographique, Uspiskun Kaa-Akutaach impose sa présence par la simplicité de son architecture et le rythme lent de ses jours, dicté uniquement par la course du soleil et les exigences du climat. La vie s'y organise avec une sobriété nécessaire, loin des artifices, portée par une connaissance intime des passages et des ressources que la terre offre avec parcimonie. Chaque pierre, chaque étendue d'eau participe à cette identité forte, une présence austère et magnifique qui s'impose à quiconque ose s'aventurer dans ce domaine de roche et de ciel ouvert.

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.
