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

Cosmos is a residential area in Montréal; Montréal, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Cosmos is located at 45.5094°N, 73.6636°W.
Cosmos occupies a quiet, sturdy stretch of land situated along the St. Lawrence, where the river’s presence defines the horizon and anchors the local perspective. It lies 8.5 km west of Montréal, QC (from Montréal, QC: bearing 271°T), and is situated 7.9 km south-east of Laval. The weight of the water shapes the atmosphere, especially at dusk when the grey light pulls a silver sheen from the surface of the St. Lawrence near the Les Écores. While the bustle of urban life occupies the nearby streets, the landscape retains a measured character, marked by the presence of the Rivière Suzanne flowing 12 km away and the quiet expanse of Lac aux Castors just 5 km distant. Beyond these immediate surroundings, the natural landscape extends toward the Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville, located 18 km away, providing a sense of scale to the terrain. Cosmos exists within a climate that demands resilience, where the air turns crisp and sharp as the seasons shift, turning the familiar streets into a theater of seasonal change. History in Cosmos reflects the steady growth of a region shaped by commerce and the movement of goods along the primary waterways of the province. The local economy thrives on the energy of trade and the practical industry that has long sustained the people living near these vital arteries of travel. Life in Cosmos follows the purposeful movements of residents who navigate the intersections of a dense, well-established neighborhood with a practiced, efficient grace. The influence of French-Canadian traditions remains clear in the daily habits of the residents, seen in the local shops and the social life that clusters around the neighborhood’s core. Even as modern development continues to transform the surrounding space, Cosmos maintains a persistent identity, grounded in the reality of its location and the enduring influence of the river that flows just beyond the edge of the built environment.
Cosmos s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le sol s’élève doucement vers les Écores pour offrir une vue imprenable sur l’immensité des eaux dormantes. Dans ce secteur de Montréal, le vent qui remonte le fleuve apporte une fraîcheur constante, modifiant les teintes du ciel lorsque le soleil décline derrière les habitations. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac aux Castors invite à une halte paisible sous le couvert végétal, tandis que la Rivière Suzanne serpente avec discrétion dans le relief environnant. Plus loin, le Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville protège une nature restée sauvage, séparant le mouvement urbain des écosystèmes fragiles des berges. Cosmos habite une terre façonnée par les glissements de terrain historiques qui ont sculpté ces escarpements abrupts, donnant au paysage une verticalité singulière. Les résidents observent le passage des navires sur le courant souverain, perpétuant une relation étroite avec ce couloir maritime qui a dicté l’établissement initial. Ici, la lumière se fragmente sur les parois rocheuses, soulignant la rudesse de la pierre face à la fluidité du fleuve. L’atmosphère, chargée de cette humidité particulière aux zones riveraines, confère à Cosmos une identité austère et sereine, marquée par l’équilibre fragile entre la ville minérale et la puissance des éléments naturels qui l'entourent.

Explore Cosmos, Quebec, Canada, with an embedded street and satellite map — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 45.509444, -73.663611. Live weather conditions and 7-day forecasts — including hourly outlooks — are provided through Open-Meteo, while real-time local and world news feeds help keep the page current. Editorial summaries provide additional local information and context.
Detailed location data for Cosmos includes the postal code (H3R), 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 Cosmos 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.
