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

Californie is a hamlet in Saint-Didace; D'Autray, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Californie is located at 46.3478°N, 73.2369°W.
Californie rests within the quiet embrace of the Montagne à Zamette, a landscape defined by the persistent, cold currents of the Rivière Blanche. It lies 25.3 km south-west of Domaine-du-Lac-Paterson, QC (from Domaine-du-Lac-Paterson, QC: bearing 228°T), and is situated 14.3 km south-south-west of Saint-Alexis-des-Monts. The air here holds a crisp, mineral edge, particularly as the low sun catches the frost on the reeds lining the riverbanks. Nearby, the stillness of Lac Sarrazin offers a deep, reflective contrast to the moving water, while the powerful rush of the Chutes de Sainte-Ursule reminds those who visit of the hidden energy surging through the Saint-Didace terrain. Life in Californie follows the persistent demands of the seasons, rooted in a history of land stewardship that prioritizes the endurance of the D'Autray region. The local economy persists through a grounded connection to the forest and the small-scale agricultural cycles that have long defined this corner of Quebec. In the evenings, the light settles heavily over the slopes, turning the surrounding hills into silhouettes that appear as constant as the water itself. Residents maintain a quiet dedication to their surroundings, valuing the deliberate pace of a life lived alongside the flow of the Rivière Blanche rather than against it.
Californie s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les flancs de la Montagne à Zamette, là où le relief sculpte des ombres douces dès que le soleil décline derrière les crêtes. Le murmure de la Rivière Blanche accompagne les travaux des champs, apportant une fraîcheur constante à cette terre qui se souvient des gestes anciens de ses premiers défricheurs. À quelques lieues de là, les Chutes de Sainte-Ursule imposent leur fracas régulier, tandis que le Lac Sarrazin, niché dans son écrin de terre, offre une quiétude immobile à ceux qui habitent les environs. La lumière, lorsqu'elle glisse sur les pentes, révèle une topographie exigeante mais généreuse, façonnée par les cycles agricoles qui dictent le rythme des journées. Californie conserve ce caractère singulier des lieux qui ont su marier la rudesse du climat à une douceur de vivre presque secrète. Ici, le vent porte les effluves de la forêt et des labours, rappelant sans cesse la proximité des éléments naturels qui encadrent chaque demeure. Les habitants, habitués à la stature imposante de la Montagne à Zamette, cultivent un lien étroit avec le sol, trouvant dans cette géographie précise une identité qui se suffit à elle-même, loin des agitations du monde.

Detailed location data for Californie includes the postal code (J5V), 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 Californie 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.
