This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Alouette, Quebec. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Alouette.
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.

Alouette is a military post office in Saguenay; Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Alouette is located at 48.3356°N, 70.9869°W.
Alouette rests where the heavy, iron-cold currents of the St. Lawrence meet the determined rush of the Rivière à Mars. It lies 11.7 km south-south-east of Saguenay, QC (from Saguenay, QC: bearing 152°T), and is situated 10.8 km south-south-east of Chicoutimi. The land here holds a dense, shadowed gravity, where the light at dusk clings to the water’s surface like hammered pewter. Only two kilometers away, the still waters of Lac à Bol offer a quiet contrast to the persistent movement of the nearby river, while the distant, rugged presence of Parc national des Monts-Valin looms thirty-four kilometers to the north, anchoring the horizon in a jagged line of stone and spruce. The industry of Alouette reflects the hard-won utility of the Saguenay region, where the scale of human endeavor often bows to the sheer mass of the surrounding wilderness. Six kilometers from the center, the Chutes à Martel rush with a power that mirrors the relentless pace of local work, a force that has defined the character of those who live along these banks. Life in Alouette moves with the steady, focused intent of a place shaped by its industrial roots, yet there remains a lingering, quiet grace in the way the morning mist clings to the riverbanks, marking the start of a day governed by the demands of the water and the reach of the northern woods.
Alouette s’étire avec une tranquille obstination sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle du large rencontre la rigueur du Saguenay. À proximité, le cours de la Rivière à Mars sculpte le relief, imposant son rythme aux terres qui ont vu s’élever les premières installations industrielles, façonnant une identité forgée par le travail et la proximité des éléments. L’air y possède une texture particulière, une fraîcheur vive qui descend des hauteurs lorsque le soleil décline, teintant les eaux sombres de reflets métalliques. Non loin, le Lac à Bol repose dans un silence minéral, tandis que les Chutes à Martel ajoutent leur grondement sourd à la quiétude des environs. À une distance plus marquée, le Parc national des Monts-Valin impose sa silhouette massive sur l’horizon, rappelant la puissance de la nature sauvage qui encercle Alouette. La vie ici se déploie dans une fidélité aux gestes anciens, portée par une mémoire qui se transmet dans la gestion quotidienne de l’espace et des ressources. Les habitants observent les marées et les vents, ajustant leurs jours à cette géographie exigeante où chaque courbe du terrain raconte une permanence que rien n’altère, offrant à Alouette une dignité sobre, presque austère, sous le ciel immense du Québec.

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.
