This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for De Quen-Est, 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).

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 De Quen-Est.
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.

De Quen-Est is a neighbourhood in Alma; Lac-Saint-Jean-Est, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. De Quen-Est is located at 48.5694°N, 71.6331°W.
De Quen-Est anchors itself firmly along the Côte du Côtoyage, where the land holds the quiet gravity of the Saguenay River. It lies 2.7 km north-east of Alma, QC (from Alma, QC: bearing 34°T), and is situated 11.2 km north of Saint-Bruno. The light here gathers in long, slanted shadows against the horizon at dusk, revealing a terrain shaped by the slow, persistent movement of water and wind. Petit lac des Harvey rests in the nearby hollows, its surface mirroring the shifting greys and blues of the sky, while the vast expanse of Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon waits just beyond the immediate reach of the shore. De Quen-Est endures through the seasons with a sturdy resilience, its character defined by the stark clarity of the air and the immense, open presence of the river. The history of De Quen-Est remains anchored in the labor of the land, reflecting a heritage of industry that has long looked toward the water for its sustenance. Daily life moves with the practical focus of those who understand the temper of the climate, where the economy aligns with the natural resources of the region. Local traditions persist in the quiet work of households and the steady habits of the residents, who navigate the landscape with a familiarity born of long winters and brief, intense summers. There is a specific stillness in the way the wind moves through the surrounding trees, a reminder that De Quen-Est exists as a deliberate point of human persistence within the wider, indifferent reach of the northern terrain.
De Quen-Est s’étire le long des rives de la rivière Saguenay, là où la lumière du crépuscule semble se figer dans une immobilité minérale sur la Côte du Côtoyage. Dans cette portion de la région d’Alma, le terrain se déploie avec une patience ancienne, modelé par les vents qui remontent le cours d’eau et imprègnent l’air d’une fraîcheur constante. À quelques kilomètres, le Petit lac des Harvey dort sous une clarté argentée, ajoutant une note de silence à la topographie des lieux, tandis que plus loin, vers le nord, le Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon dessine une limite naturelle contre l’horizon. L’existence à De Quen-Est se mesure au rythme des terres agricoles qui s’ouvrent sur les vastes étendues, rappelant la ténacité des premiers défricheurs ayant choisi de s’établir face aux eaux puissantes de la rivière. Chaque maison, chaque parcelle de sol cultivé, porte la marque d’une longue habitude du travail et d’une familiarité avec les éléments qui dictent, encore aujourd’hui, le quotidien des habitants. La clarté particulière de ce secteur, changeante selon les heures, confère aux rives une noblesse austère, faisant de De Quen-Est un espace singulier où la terre rencontre l’eau avec une gravité presque solennelle.
