This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Dorval-Island, 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 Dorval-Island.
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.

Dorval-Island is a post office in Dorval; Montréal, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Dorval-Island is located at 45.4444°N, 73.7403°W.
Dorval-Island emerges as a secluded retreat resting upon the expansive, shimmering surface of Lac Saint-Louis. It lies 16.2 km west-south-west of Montréal, QC (from Montréal, QC: bearing 244°T), and is situated 11.9 km south of Laval. The air here carries a persistent dampness, a cool breath rising off the water that softens the hard edges of the shoreline and turns the evening light into a pale, bruised violet. Beyond the immediate banks, the geography holds a quiet distance from the churning energy of the nearby Le Tertre and the distant, rushing descent of Chutes Saint-Louis. While Parc national d'Oka stands further afield, the immediate terrain of Dorval-Island remains defined by its intimate relationship with the lake, where the water dictates the slow, deliberate pulse of the day. The history of Dorval-Island reflects a long-standing desire for privacy, functioning as a sanctuary that has maintained its character amidst the broader development of the region. Life on Dorval-Island moves with a certain gravity, prioritizing the preservation of its quiet, residential identity over the industrial expansions found along the Rivière Châteauguay. Residents move through their days with an understated purpose, often found tending to the private lots that define the island’s limited footprint. There is a particular stillness in the way the morning mist clings to the docks, a clarity of purpose that keeps the island apart from the bustle of the mainland, ensuring the land remains a singular, sheltered point on the map.
Dorval-Island se déploie sur les eaux calmes du Lac Saint-Louis, conservant une quiétude insulaire qui semble suspendre le cours des heures. À mesure que la lumière décline, le rivage s'imprègne d'une clarté dorée, révélant la silhouette discrète des habitations qui se dressent face à l'étendue liquide. Le regard porte loin vers le Tertre, dont la présence modeste structure l'horizon terrestre, tandis que le souffle de l'air, chargé d'humidité, rappelle la proximité des Chutes Saint-Louis dont le tumulte lointain se devine à peine. Plus au sud, les eaux de la Rivière Châteauguay serpentent avec une lenteur majestueuse, participant à cette géographie aquatique qui définit chaque mouvement sur Dorval-Island. La vie ici se déploie dans une intimité protégée, loin du tumulte des grandes artères, où les résidents entretiennent une relation privilégiée avec les éléments naturels environnants. Bien que le Parc national d'Oka se dessine à une vingtaine de kilomètres dans une direction opposée, le caractère propre de Dorval-Island demeure celui d'un sanctuaire préservé. Le sol, façonné par les allées et venues des courants, offre une texture particulière, presque minérale, qui confère à cette enclave une identité singulière, portée par une atmosphère où le silence devient, par moments, le seul habitant véritable du paysage.

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.
