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

Héva is a locality in Rivière-Héva; La Vallée-de-l'Or, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Héva is located at 48.1817°N, 78.2260°W.
Héva rests within the vast, enduring reaches of the Canadian Shield, where the horizon settles into a quiet composure of boreal forest and stubborn rock. It lies 8.9 km north-west of Malartic, QC (from Malartic, QC: bearing 305°T), and is situated 6.3 km south of Rivière-Héva. The air here holds a crisp, metallic clarity that sharpens the edges of the pine needles as the sun begins its long, amber slide behind the tree line. Within this terrain, the Rivière Héva pushes steadily through the lowlands, its current a dark ribbon reflecting the deepening violet of the sky, while the stillness of Lac Milhaut sits four kilometers away, acting as a mirror for the passing clouds. The land possesses a spare, honest beauty that favors the patient observer, revealing itself in the way the frost clings to the granite or how the wind carries the scent of damp earth and resin across the clearings. Life in Héva maintains a direct connection to the rugged industry that built the foundations of this region, with the economy drawing strength from the mineral wealth and timber that define the surrounding landscape. Generations have worked these reaches, their efforts grounding the local identity in a tradition of persistence that mirrors the cold, deliberate progress of the seasons. People move with a practical purpose, acknowledging the weight of the winters and the brief, brilliant intensity of the growing months. The character of Héva is found in this steadiness, a quiet resilience that persists long after the machinery of the day has fallen silent, leaving only the sound of the wind moving through the spruce and the distant, cooling presence of the water.
Héva s'étend sur une étendue de terre où la rudesse du sol québécois se nuance d'une quiétude singulière, marquée par l'héritage d'un défrichement opiniâtre qui a su dompter la forêt boréale. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Milhaut offre une étendue d'eau immobile, miroir sombre où le ciel de fin de journée dépose des teintes de cuivre et de cendre, tandis que la Rivière Héva serpente avec une lenteur indifférente à huit kilomètres de là, irriguant une topographie plane que le regard embrasse sans rencontrer d'obstacle majeur. Le travail de la terre, autrefois moteur de cette installation, a laissé place à une vie rythmée par l'exploitation des richesses du sous-sol, conférant aux habitations une allure sobre, presque austère, qui s'ajuste parfaitement à la rigueur du climat. Héva conserve cette dignité des lieux isolés, où chaque maison, isolée dans la clarté crépusculaire, semble veiller sur les plaines alentour avec une constance héritée des pionniers. L'air y possède une netteté cristalline, une fraîcheur qui saisit les poumons dès l'approche du soir, alors que les ombres s'allongent sur les chemins rectilignes. Rien ne trouble la sérénité de cet espace, sinon le bruissement léger du vent dans les arbres, rappelant la présence souveraine d'une nature que les hommes habitent avec une retenue respectueuse.

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 Héva 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.
