This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lac-Bazin, 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 Lac-Bazin 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 Lac-Bazin.
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.

Lac-Bazin is a resort area in Taschereau; Abitibi-Ouest, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lac-Bazin is located at 48.6163°N, 78.7288°W.
The surface of Lac-Bazin holds the sky in a mirror of dark, still water, reflecting the rugged silhouette of the nearby Mont Rouge. It lies 40.8 km east-south-east of La Sarre, QC (from La Sarre, QC: bearing 121°T), and is situated 6.1 km south-south-west of Taschereau. The Rivière du Lac Genest feeds the basin, its current barely audible as it navigates the dense, coniferous growth that defines the Abitibi-Ouest terrain. Within this quiet expanse, the light at dusk settles in heavy, golden layers against the trees, turning the water into a sheet of hammered copper before the cooling air signals the onset of night. Only a short distance away, the land shifts toward the protected reaches of Parc national d'Aiguebelle, while another body of water, also named Lac Bazin, sits a mere kilometer from these shores, creating a subtle, repeating geography of water and stone. Development near Lac-Bazin follows the historic patterns of the region, where the extraction of resources and the clearing of land for agriculture shaped the initial settlement of Taschereau. Industry here keeps a measured pace, mirroring the persistence of the settlers who first cleared the bush to establish a foothold in this northern landscape. Life in Lac-Bazin remains grounded in the physical realities of the climate, where the long winters dictate the cycle of labor and the quiet endurance of the inhabitants. Even now, the cultural character of the region reflects a history of resilience, with the local economy shifting alongside the seasonal demands of the forest and the land.
Lac-Bazin se déploie dans une quiétude minérale où la lumière du crépuscule semble suspendre le souffle des forêts environnantes sur les rives de la Rivière du Lac Genest. À proximité, le Mont Rouge impose sa masse sombre et protectrice sur un relief façonné par les âges, rappelant aux rares passants que cette terre appartient d’abord aux éléments. Les eaux calmes du Lac Bazin, situé à quelques enjambées, captent les reflets changeants du ciel, offrant aux terres de Taschereau une sérénité que seule l’immensité de l’Abitibi-Ouest sait conférer. Le Parc national d'Aiguebelle, étendu à treize kilomètres de là, imprègne l’atmosphère d’une rigueur sauvage, soulignant la rudesse et la beauté de ce sol où la vie s'est organisée par la force du travail agricole et le respect de la nature environnante. Lac-Bazin demeure un espace de silence et de patience, une présence humble qui s'étire entre les sinuosités de la Rivière du Lac Genest et le socle rocheux des environs. Ici, le vent parcourt les espaces ouverts avec une franchise qui ne laisse aucune place à l'artifice, invitant à une contemplation lente, celle d'un paysage qui refuse de se laisser dompter et qui garde, dans chaque ombre portée par le Mont Rouge, la mémoire intacte de son silence originel.
