This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Bel-Horizon, 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).
Drag the map to pan to any area of Quebec or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Bel-Horizon and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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 Bel-Horizon.
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.

Bel-Horizon is a locality in Sherbrooke; Estrie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Bel-Horizon is located at 45.3644°N, 71.8850°W.
Bel-Horizon rests within the Colline Haskell, a modest rise of earth that keeps watch over the steady, grey-blue passage of the Rivière Saint-François. It lies 4.4 km south of Sherbrooke, QC (from Sherbrooke, QC: bearing 172°T), and is situated 9.6 km north of Waterville. The air here holds a particular weight, smelling of damp stone and the deep, dark loam that characterizes the Estrie region. When the sun retreats behind the heights, the light turns a bruised violet, lingering long enough to catch the movement of the river as it pulls toward the horizon. The landscape feels balanced between the persistence of the water and the quiet, immovable presence of the surrounding terrain, offering a sense of stability that suggests the land has been settled for a long duration. Bel-Horizon maintains a character defined by the quiet industry of those who live close to the water and the slope. Life in Bel-Horizon moves with the seasons, from the heavy frost that grips the valley to the sudden, verdant bloom of the spring thaw. While Lac des Nations sits a short distance away, drawing those who seek the open water, the residents here prefer the intimacy of their own hills. To the north, the presence of Les Cascades and the distant, looming silhouette of Parc national du Mont-Orford provide a frame for the region, grounding the local perspective in the vastness of the natural world. The work here is quiet, rooted in the traditions of a place that values the steady labor of the day over the rush of the modern world.
Bel-Horizon s’étire avec une tranquille assurance sur les pentes de la Colline Haskell, offrant à ses habitants une vue plongeante sur les méandres de la Rivière Saint-François. Dans cette partie de l'Estrie, la lumière du soir dépose une patine dorée sur les champs, révélant la texture minérale du terrain qui a guidé les premiers défricheurs vers ces terres fertiles. La vie à Bel-Horizon suit le rythme lent des travaux agricoles et des matins brumeux où l’humidité de la rivière monte pour envelopper les façades. À seulement quelques kilomètres, le Lac des Nations capte les premières lueurs de l'aube, tandis que le relief s'accentue vers Les Cascades, dont le murmure persistant accompagne la mémoire des anciens. Plus loin, la silhouette imposante du Parc national du Mont-Orford dessine une frontière naturelle à l'horizon, rappelant la proximité des sommets sauvages. Les maisons, bâties avec la rigueur de ceux qui connaissent le poids des hivers, abritent des existences tournées vers une terre généreuse et un quotidien sans artifices. Ici, chaque sentier qui serpente entre la Colline Haskell et les rives témoigne d'une ténacité héritée, un équilibre fragile entre le labeur des champs et la beauté brute d'un paysage qui ne demande jamais à être admiré, mais simplement vécu.

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.
Location data for Bel-Horizon is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
