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

Danville is a town in Danville; Les Sources, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Danville is located at 45.7822°N, 72.0085°W.
Danville rests quietly within the Colline Elliott, where the land rises in modest, steady folds toward a horizon that feels both intimate and expansive. It lies 5.5 km west of Val-des-Sources, QC (from Val-des-Sources, QC: bearing 276°T), and is situated 9.8 km south-south-east of Kingsey Falls. The Rivière Nicolet Sud-Ouest threads through this terrain, its currents carrying the cool, persistent scent of damp earth and moss that defines the local air. At dusk, the light here turns a bruised, plum-colored gold, catching the edges of the fields and turning the grass into a field of tall, flickering embers. While Lac Perkins sits roughly 5 km away and the Chutes Fontainebleau tumble over stone about 16 km distant, the immediate landscape of Danville holds a stillness that suggests a long, patient accumulation of seasons. The history of Danville reflects a legacy of industry and agricultural persistence that has shaped the character of its residents. Once a hub for regional trade and manufacturing, the economy of Danville has evolved, yet the architecture of its older buildings persists, holding the weight of a time when rail and mill dictated the pace of life. A quiet pride persists in the maintenance of these structures, standing as anchors against the changing demands of the modern world. Life in Danville moves with a deliberate focus, observed in the way light hits the weathered siding of a barn or the way the wind moves across the open ground. It is a place that values the steady, repetitive work of the day, where the people find their footing in the familiar cycles of the harvest and the changing temperatures of the Quebec year.
Danville s'étire avec une élégance discrète sur les pentes douces de la Colline Elliott, où les premières lueurs du jour révèlent une terre façonnée par une longue tradition agricole. Le regard porte loin sur ce relief vallonné qui plonge ses racines vers les eaux calmes de la Rivière Nicolet Sud-Ouest, laquelle serpente avec une régularité apaisante à travers les terres cultivées. À quelques lieues de là, le Lac Perkins offre aux promeneurs une halte de sérénité, tandis que le fracas lointain des Chutes Fontainebleau murmure à travers les bois une mélodie ancienne. L'histoire de Danville se lit encore dans l'architecture robuste de ses bâtiments d'époque, héritiers d'un passé industriel qui a su dompter la rudesse du sol pour bâtir une prospérité durable. Chaque façade, chaque rue étroite rappelle la ténacité des familles qui ont défriché ces espaces pour y établir un foyer. Le climat, marqué par des hivers généreux et des étés de lumière dorée, dicte un rythme de vie où la patience demeure une vertu cardinale. Danville conserve une identité singulière, portée par une fierté tranquille et un attachement viscéral aux horizons qui se dessinent entre la crête des collines et le cours paisible des eaux environnantes.
