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

Glen is a railway yard in Westmount; Montréal, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Glen is located at 45.4750°N, 73.5997°W.
Glen occupies a distinct threshold in Westmount, where the urban incline meets the sudden, open exposure of the lower plains. It lies 5.2 km south-west of Montréal, QC (from Montréal, QC: bearing 223°T), and is situated 14.1 km south-east of Laval. The light here at dusk possesses a singular, bruised quality, catching the brickwork and glass as the sun slips behind the rise, casting long, lean shadows that stretch toward the St. Lawrence. While the landscape is dominated by the density of Montreal, the presence of the Les Écores shapes the horizon, providing a structural anchor to the view. Nearby, the Rivière Saint-Régis flows through its distant path, while the quiet presence of Lac aux Castors sits a few kilometers away, offering a cooling influence to the air that drifts across the district. The economy of Glen thrives on a transition between the academic intensity of nearby institutions and a long-standing tradition of rail and medical infrastructure. Historically, the ground beneath Glen served as a vital junction, a place where transit and industry converged to define the movement of goods and people. Today, the pace of life maintains a sharp, focused energy, with the medical complex serving as a landmark that draws the city inward. Beyond the immediate bustle, the sprawling greenery of Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville remains a notable feature for those seeking the stillness of the river islands, punctuating the regional geography with a sense of vast, protected space.
Glen s’étend sur les contreforts de Westmount, là où le relief urbain bascule avec une rigueur géologique vers les basses terres. La lumière du couchant y possède une densité particulière, cette clarté dorée qui glisse sur les structures modernes et les voies ferrées, rappelant que Glen occupe un passage obligé entre la colline et le fleuve Saint-Laurent. Le terrain, marqué par une topographie dynamique, conserve la mémoire des anciens versants et des écoulements naturels qui, bien que domptés par le béton, dictent encore le rythme des déplacements quotidiens. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac aux Castors offre une respiration végétale au milieu de l'effervescence montréalaise, tandis que les Écores profilent à l'horizon une silhouette abrupte, rappelant la puissance du fleuve en contrebas. Les passants, pressés par le tumulte de la métropole, croisent ici des traces d'une transformation industrielle qui a laissé place à une vie académique et médicale intense. L'air, souvent chargé d'une humidité venue des vastes étendues d'eau, enveloppe les façades de pierre et les édifices contemporains d'une fraîcheur persistante. Entre le silence des parcs et le grondement sourd du trafic, la vie s'organise selon une verticalité propre à ce secteur, où chaque ombre portée souligne l'équilibre précaire entre la roche originelle et la volonté humaine de bâtir.

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 Glen 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.
