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

La Vérendrye is a locality in Sainte-Marguerite-Marie; La Matapédia, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Vérendrye is located at 48.3456°N, 67.0539°W.
La Vérendrye rests within the quiet embrace of the Rivière Assemetquagan, where the heavy scent of damp earth and balsam fir clings to the cooling air. It lies 30.9 km east-south-east of Amqui, QC (from Amqui, QC: bearing 115°T), and is situated 15.9 km east-north-east of Sainte-Florence. The terrain rises in firm, forested slopes, holding the stillness of the deep woods that define the character of Sainte-Marguerite-Marie. As dusk settles, the light turns a bruised, metallic violet, casting long shadows across the water that seem to hold their breath against the coming dark. Beyond the immediate reach of the bank, the landscape stretches toward the distant, hidden basin of Lac Huit Mille, creating a sense of vast, unpeopled solitude that demands a respectful silence from any who pass through. The history of La Vérendrye is marked by the steady, persistent work of those who lived alongside the timber and the turning seasons. Agriculture and forestry have long dictated the pace of life here, with the local economy anchored to the rhythms of the land and the endurance of the river. Traditions remain rooted in the seasonal cycles of the Matapédia, where the knowledge of the bush is passed down like a craft, kept alive by families who understand the temper of the soil. Even now, the stillness of the morning carries the weight of past generations, a quiet persistence that defines the local identity better than any landmark could.
La Vérendrye se déploie avec une humilité certaine sur les rives de la Rivière Assemetquagan, là où l’air se charge d’une fraîcheur forestière dès que le soleil décline derrière les ondulations du relief. Dans cette portion de la Matapédia, la lumière crépusculaire semble s'attarder sur les eaux vives, offrant une clarté presque liquide qui enveloppe les terres agricoles et les boisés environnants. À quinze kilomètres de là, le Lac Huit Mille repose dans un silence immuable, veillant sur ce secteur où l’économie a longtemps puisé sa force dans les ressources sylvicoles et les traditions liées au travail de la terre. Les habitants de La Vérendrye partagent ce rythme lent, dicté par la proximité immédiate de la Rivière Assemetquagan qui sculpte le paysage et influence la vie quotidienne de ceux qui cultivent ces lopins de terre. Le caractère de La Vérendrye se révèle dans cette simplicité des gestes répétés, une existence tournée vers les horizons verdoyants et la présence apaisante du cours d'eau qui traverse la contrée. Chaque parcelle de ce terrain témoigne d'une ténacité héritée, maintenant un équilibre fragile entre le labeur manuel et la beauté sauvage des espaces naturels qui s'étendent à perte de vue.

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.
