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

Gallix is a administrative sector in Sept-Îles; Sept-Rivières, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Gallix is located at 50.1361°N, 66.6111°W.
Gallix rests along the northern shore of the St. Lawrence, where the edge of the land holds the weight of the tides against the quiet persistence of the boreal forest. It lies 18.0 km west-south-west of Sept-Îles, QC (from Sept-Îles, QC: bearing 243°T), and is situated 9.4 km south-south-east of Barrage-Sainte-Marguerite. The terrain here is defined by the proximity of the Rivière Sainte-Marguerite, which draws a cold, clear line through the landscape toward the sea. Nearby, the presence of the Les Jambons adds a rugged verticality to the horizon, grounding the visual field in granite and shadow. When the sun retreats, the light across the water takes on a bruised, metallic quality, turning the surface of the St. Lawrence into a mirror that holds the cold brilliance of the northern sky. Inland, the stillness of Lac Armand sits only 3 km away, offering a deep, dark counterpoint to the salt-heavy air that defines the immediate coast. Gallix carries the echoes of those who first relied on the bounty of the estuary, maintaining a character shaped by the cyclical demands of the water and the seasonal temperament of the North. Life in Gallix moves in accordance with the shifting currents of the St. Lawrence and the realities of an economy long tied to the extraction and transit of northern resources. Residents navigate the days with a pragmatic awareness of the elements, finding community in the spaces between the heavy snowfall and the brief, intense summers. The local identity remains distinct from the larger industrial hubs of Sept-Rivières, favoring a quieter existence where the sound of the Rivière Sainte-Marguerite moving toward the coast serves as a constant, low-frequency pulse. It is a landscape where the human footprint is small, leaving the vast, open spaces of the nearby wilderness to dictate the pace of the passing years.
Gallix se déploie avec une retenue souveraine le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, où l'air marin s'alourdit d'une fraîcheur éternelle dès que le jour décline. Dans ce secteur de Sept-Rivières, le terrain s'incline doucement vers les eaux vastes, tandis que la Rivière Sainte-Marguerite dessine une frontière liquide, murmurant son passage vers l'estuaire. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Armand repose dans une immobilité minérale, observant la lande qui s'étire jusqu'aux Jambons, cette portion du littoral où la terre semble vouloir se fondre dans l'immensité du large. Gallix conserve une identité façonnée par les rudesses climatiques et la proximité des courants, une vie qui s'écoule au rythme des marées et des vents salés. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une densité particulière, découpant les silhouettes des habitations contre un ciel qui se vide de sa chaleur, laissant la place à une solitude habitée. Les racines de cet établissement puisent dans une terre où le souvenir des premiers occupants et l'industrie forestière se superposent, créant une atmosphère où la mélancolie des grands espaces rencontre la ténacité de ceux qui ont choisi de rester. Ici, le paysage impose son propre silence, une présence impérieuse qui rappelle à chacun la fragilité des choses bâties face à l'étendue glacée du Nord.

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.
