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

Kanawana is a locality in Saint-Sauveur; Les Pays-d'en-Haut, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Kanawana is located at 45.8500°N, 74.1833°W.
Kanawana rests within the folded terrain of Saint-Sauveur, marked by the persistent, rugged presence of the Mont Christie. It lies 16.2 km west-north-west of Saint-Jérôme, QC (from Saint-Jérôme, QC: bearing 301°T), and is situated 5.6 km south-south-west of Saint-Sauveur. The air here holds a distinct, crisp weight, carrying the scent of damp earth and coniferous needles as the light fades into long, violet shadows against the slopes. Lac Léonard sits immediately adjacent, its surface often mirroring the stillness of the surrounding timber, while the Rivière du Nord flows through the broader landscape seven kilometers away. The terrain demands a deliberate pace, with rocky outcrops and rising ground defining the physical limits of the land. Development in Kanawana has long been shaped by the intersection of forest access and the challenging topography of Les Pays-d'en-Haut. While the local economy has shifted from the early extraction of timber to a focus on seasonal residence and quiet stewardship, the character of the settlement remains anchored in the physical realities of the Laurentian hills. Residents observe a tradition of seasonal transition, preparing for the deep snows that insulate the region and clarify the stillness of the winter months. Kanawana maintains its identity through a quiet persistence, where the daily activities of those who live here align with the natural boundaries set by the Mont Christie and the nearby waters.
Kanawana s’étire avec une langueur minérale sous la silhouette imposante du Mont Christie, là où les pentes douces des Laurentides semblent retenir la lumière déclinante du jour. Cette terre, marquée par une histoire de villégiature et de quiétude, se déploie dans une atmosphère de sérénité absolue, rythmée par la présence immédiate du Lac Léonard dont les eaux sombres captent les reflets changeants du ciel. À quelques kilomètres, la Rivière du Nord poursuit sa course paisible, irriguant une topographie accidentée où les essences d’arbres se mêlent en une ondulation de verts profonds. Kanawana conserve une identité singulière, préservée par le relief qui isole le regard et protège l'intimité des sentiers forestiers. La vie y est une respiration lente, dictée par la texture du sol et l’air frais qui descend des hauteurs, transformant chaque crépuscule en une méditation silencieuse sur la permanence du paysage. Les résidents habitent ce terrain avec une discrétion presque solennelle, respectant le silence des bois et la rigueur d’un climat qui, dès les premières gelées, transforme les abords du Lac Léonard en un miroir d'acier, tandis que les ombres s'allongent contre les flancs du Mont Christie dans une immobilité spectrale.

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 Kanawana 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.
