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

Inverness is a municipality in Inverness; L'Érable, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Inverness is located at 46.2606°N, 71.5226°W.
Inverness rests within the quiet folds of the landscape, defined by the proximity of the Colline Harvey and the persistent presence of the Rivière Bécancour. It lies 25.6 km north-west of Thetford Mines, QC (from Thetford Mines, QC: bearing 318°T), and is situated 11.1 km east-south-east of Laurierville. The air here holds a particular clarity, turning the light at dusk into a pale, bruised gold that catches on the crests of the hills before settling into the valley. Nearby, the waters of Lac Joseph wait in a state of stillness some 6 km away, while the restless energy of Chutes Lysander continues to carve its path through the stone at a distance of 8 km. The terrain demands a steady patience, as the land rises and falls in long, deliberate breaths that dictate the movement of anyone traveling through the region. The history of Inverness reflects the persistence of those who first cleared the timber to make space for hearths and fields. Agriculture remains a cornerstone of the local character, with the economy drawing its strength from the cycles of the seasons and the hard-won yields of the soil. Life in Inverness moves with the turning of the Rivière Bécancour, which provides a constant, low-frequency hum of water against the bank, grounding the inhabitants in the immediate physical reality of their surroundings. Traditions here are kept with a quiet intensity, marking the passage of years through seasonal gatherings that mirror the deep, enduring connection between the people and the terrain they occupy.
Inverness s'étire avec une noblesse tranquille sur les terres vallonnées de L'Érable, là où la lumière du soir dépose une patine cuivrée sur les champs et les vergers. À proximité de la Colline Harvey, le relief impose une cadence lente, dictée par la terre nourricière que les premiers colons ont défrichée avec une ténacité silencieuse. Le cours sinueux de la Rivière Bécancour sculpte le paysage en contrebas, offrant un murmure constant qui accompagne le labeur des jours. À quelques lieues, le Lac Joseph garde ses secrets sous une surface d'argent immobile, tandis que l'humidité fine des Chutes Lysander vient rafraîchir l'air, rappelant la puissance brute des eaux cachées dans les replis de la forêt. Inverness conserve les traces d'une architecture austère et robuste, héritage de ceux qui ont bâti sur ce sol argileux une existence tournée vers l'agriculture et le travail du bois. Le climat, marqué par des hivers longs et rigoureux, forge une identité résiliente chez ses habitants, dont la vie quotidienne s'accorde au rythme des récoltes et des changements de la clarté céleste. Chaque chemin de terre invite à la contemplation, révélant la beauté dépouillée d'un environnement où la nature, maîtresse des lieux, dicte sa loi avec une élégance souveraine et immuable.
