This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Grand-Détour, 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 Grand-Détour.
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.

Grand-Détour is a locality in Les Lacs-du-Témiscamingue; Témiscamingue, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Grand-Détour is located at 47.6083°N, 77.4917°W.
Grand-Détour rests upon the weathered edges of Grand lac Victoria, where the dark, cool water of the Ottawa River pulls steadily against the shoreline. It lies 59.2 km south-south-east of Val-d'Or, QC (from Val-d'Or, QC: bearing 158°T), and is situated 8.1 km west-north-west of Kâmînikacik. The air here holds a sharp, resinous clarity, especially at dusk when the low light catches the surface of the lake, turning the ripples into hammered lead. Grand-Détour exists within a landscape defined by this expansive waterway, a vast basin that dictates the movement of wind and the slow, deliberate transition of the seasons across the surrounding timber. Grand-Détour maintains a quiet endurance, shaped by the historical currents of the timber industry that once moved logs through the Ottawa River. The presence of the Réserve écologique des Caribous-de-Jourdan, situated 37 km away, marks the wider wilderness that frames the lives of those who inhabit these woods. Daily life in Grand-Détour follows the cadence of the seasons, where the persistence of the forest and the persistent flow of the water define the boundaries of human work. Even now, the stillness of the land suggests a long memory of seasonal labor, leaving the inhabitants to find their own measure of peace beneath the wide, northern sky.
Grand-Détour s'étire avec une patience minérale le long des rives du Grand lac Victoria, là où les eaux sombres se gorgent de la lumière oblique du soir. Le courant de la rivière Ottawa sculpte le paysage avec une insistance tranquille, polissant les rivages d'un terrain qui porte la mémoire des déplacements humains et le silence des forêts profondes. À quelques lieues de là, la Réserve écologique des Caribous-de-Jourdan veille sur un territoire préservé, offrant un contrepoint sauvage à la présence industrieuse de Grand-Détour. Les habitants vivent au rythme d'une terre marquée par l'exploitation forestière, une activité qui a façonné les gestes et les journées depuis les premiers chantiers installés près des cours d'eau. L'air y possède une texture dense, chargée d'humidité et de senteurs de sève, typique de ces latitudes où le climat dicte une rigueur nécessaire à la survie des installations humaines. Le quotidien se déploie sans artifice, soutenu par la force tranquille des éléments naturels qui encerclent les habitations. Dans ce coin isolé des Lacs-du-Témiscamingue, le paysage demeure le seul véritable maître, imposant son échelle immense à quiconque observe l'horizon où la rivière rencontre l'étendue calme du lac.

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.
