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 Utarqivik.
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.

Utarqivik is a locality in Baie-d'Hudson; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Utarqivik is located at 59.9897°N, 77.2778°W.
Utarqivik rests upon the rugged edge of the north, where the land meets the dark, expansive waters of the St. Lawrence. It lies 5.1 km south of Puvirnituq, QC (from Puvirnituq, QC: bearing 182°T), and is situated 5.2 km south-west of Inirjuaq. The horizon here is defined by the steady, enduring presence of the Colline Ikinialuk, which stands as a silent sentinel over the low-lying terrain. Nearby, the Rivière de Puvirnituq carves its way through the earth, its currents carrying the cold, clear essence of the region toward the coast. Only four kilometers away, the still surface of Lac Tasisungautiup Aippanga reflects the shifting, bruised purples of the arctic sky, a mirror for clouds that never seem to settle. In the stillness of the afternoon, the air possesses a sharp, crystalline clarity that makes the distance between the hills and the water feel thin, almost fragile. Life in Utarqivik moves with a profound awareness of the seasons, shaped by the persistence of the wind and the long, pale light of the high latitudes. The local economy and daily practices are deeply connected to the traditional rhythms of the land, drawing sustenance from the surrounding environment in a way that respects the cyclical nature of the north. Utarqivik sustains a heritage that prizes self-reliance, with the movement of people and resources along the Rivière de Puvirnituq acting as a primary thread in the daily experience. Even as modern ways arrive, the character of the settlement remains defined by its isolation and the quiet fortitude of those who dwell in the shadow of the Colline Ikinialuk, finding comfort in the stark beauty of a landscape that demands both respect and resilience.
Utarqivik s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle du Nord sculpte une terre dépouillée de tout artifice. La présence de la Colline Ikinialuk domine l’horizon, offrant un rempart naturel contre les vents qui balayent les eaux glaciales, tandis que la Rivière de Puvirnituq trace son sillon vers l’immensité, portée par un courant dont le rythme semble dicter celui des jours. À quelques encablures, le Lac Tasisungautiup Aippanga dort sous une clarté boréale, miroir immobile reflétant la rigueur d’un ciel qui ne connaît guère de demi-mesures. Utarqivik puise sa force dans cette géographie austère où chaque rocher, chaque anfractuosité du sol raconte une survivance farouche. Les habitants, héritiers d’un savoir transmis par le froid et le silence, habitent cet espace avec une humilité empreinte de respect pour les forces élémentaires qui les entourent. Lorsque le soleil décline, étirant de longues ombres cuivrées sur le rivage, le silence devient une présence tangible, une musique sourde née de la rencontre entre le roc et l’onde. Ici, la vie se concentre sur l’essentiel, une existence tournée vers les traditions maritimes et la maîtrise d’un environnement dont la beauté sauvage exige une attention constante et un regard toujours tourné vers l’horizon lointain.

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.
