Which Aerodrome Mk III
Sept-Īles is on a big river, but not this one.
Yes. I was surprised to discover that it is the second longest in North America, after the Mississippi.

Good thing I guessed the river at first go, as there's an awful lot of water in that neck of the woods. So a searching we shall go, source to sea - nice lunch hour pasttime
About half way along - Norman Wells. Looks like an interesting place. Good range of temperatures too!
A fair number of settlements with airstrips along the way as well.
Open House - I'll have some more this evening if no-one jumps in first.

Well done, Norman Wells, CYVQ it is. About 80 nm south of the Arctic Circle.
An interesting history to the place, particularly during WWII:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Wells
I stopped in there once for refuelling, in a Twin Otter 100 CF-CSF, on my way from Calgary to Shingle Point DEW Line Station. 1300 nm, six sectors, 13 hours elapsed time!
I was joining a geological field party, via a re-supply run. In-flight catering was no problem - just two pilots, me and a ton of groceries!
It's Open House

Close alphabetically as well as geographically?
Aslito, Isley Field, Francisco C. Ada/Saipan International Airport
Thanks. My alphabetical question related to S is close to T.
However, I was confused by your subsequent picture of B-24s. I was expecting to see B-29s.
Here's another Arctic aerodrome I've been to.

Perhaps Mi-4s are two-a-penny at Arctic Aerodromes?
Here's something more tangible:
