This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Black Lake, 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 Black Lake 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 Black Lake.
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.

Black Lake is a administrative sector in Thetford Mines; Les Appalaches, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Black Lake is located at 46.0472°N, 71.3653°W.
Black Lake rests within the rugged terrain of the Colline Quarry, where the earth reveals its deep, mineral-rich anatomy along the banks of the Rivière Bécancour. It lies 6.7 km south-west of Thetford Mines, QC (from Thetford Mines, QC: bearing 227°T), and is situated 9.0 km north of Coleraine. The water of Black Lake catches the low, bruised light of late afternoon, turning the surface into a sheet of hammered steel that mirrors the surrounding slopes. While Lac Canard lies only 3 km away, the silence here feels distinct, heavy with the presence of stone and the memory of extraction. The air carries a sharp, metallic clarity, a reminder that the land has been turned inside out to feed the hunger of industry. Further afield, the landscape shifts toward the distant, cascading waters of Les Trois Chutes located 9 km away, yet the immediate horizon remains dominated by the stark, monumental scars of the quarry. Even at 23 km, the expansive reaches of Parc national de Frontenac exert a cooling influence on the air, tempering the heat that radiates from the exposed rock faces of Black Lake. The history of Black Lake is defined by the extraction of asbestos, an industry that once dictated the pulse of every household and drew workers from across the region to toil in the deep, terraced pits. This economy left behind a landscape of immense, man-made amphitheatres that now sit quiet, reclaimed by the slow persistence of scrub brush and wind. Residents move through their days with the stoic composure of those who have seen the land fundamentally altered, finding beauty in the stark geometry of the tailings piles that rise like artificial peaks against the sky. Life in Black Lake maintains a singular focus, shaped by the legacy of the mine and the resilient character of a population accustomed to the weight of the earth beneath their feet. Even as the machinery has fallen largely silent, the industry continues to define the local identity, marking the transition from a bustling center of production to a place that watches the shadows lengthen across the quarry floor.
Black Lake s'étire sur les flancs escarpés de la Colline Quarry, là où la terre a longtemps livré ses entrailles minérales pour bâtir l'industrie du pays. Le relief accidenté des Appalaches impose ici une rigueur austère, tempérée seulement par le passage sinueux de la Rivière Bécancour qui charrie les reflets d'un ciel souvent changeant. À mesure que le jour décline, une lumière particulière baigne les crêtes rocheuses, soulignant la rudesse de ce sol qui a façonné le destin de ses habitants. Non loin, le Lac Canard demeure un miroir paisible, tandis que le fracas lointain des Trois Chutes rappelle la force sauvage de l'eau dans cette région accidentée. En s'éloignant vers les terres plus vastes du Parc national de Frontenac, le paysage s'ouvre sur une quiétude forestière contrastant avec l'héritage ouvrier de Black Lake. La vie locale s'articule autour de cette géographie singulière, marquée par des décennies d'extraction qui ont laissé des traces visibles sur les parois de la Colline Quarry. Chaque habitant porte en lui la mémoire de ces mines qui ont dicté le rythme quotidien, un héritage persistant qui se lit aujourd'hui dans la sérénité retrouvée de ce panorama québécois, où la nature reprend ses droits sur les cicatrices laissées par le travail des hommes.

Detailed location data for Black Lake includes the postal code (G6H), telephone area code (263, 354, 367, 418, 438, 450, 514, 579, 581, 819, 873). These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Canadian city or town.
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 Black Lake 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.
