This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lac-Beauchastel, 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-Beauchastel 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-Beauchastel.
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-Beauchastel is a resort area in Rouyn-Noranda; Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lac-Beauchastel is located at 48.1619°N, 79.1214°W.
The landscape surrounding Lac-Beauchastel reveals a rugged, ancient character defined by the rocky rise of the Collines Kekeko. It lies 11.4 km south-west of Rouyn-Noranda, QC (from Rouyn-Noranda, QC: bearing 223°T), and is situated 29.2 km north-north-east of Rollet. Water flows through this territory by way of the Rivière Pelletier, which winds through the terrain with a persistence that seems to hold the light of the late afternoon in its dark, moving surface. Nearby, the presence of Lac Beauchastel adds a stillness to the horizon, creating a basin of reflective glass that mirrors the dense, encroaching forest. The air here often carries the sharp, clean scent of spruce and damp stone, a reminder of the vast, quiet wilderness that presses against the edges of human endeavor. The history of Lac-Beauchastel is deeply marked by the industrial gravity of the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, where the extraction of minerals has long defined the local economy and the ambitions of those who settled here. Generations of laborers have moved through this terrain with a focused intensity, carving out a living in a region where the earth demands both respect and resilience. Even now, the rhythm of daily life in Lac-Beauchastel maintains a functional, pragmatic clarity, ignoring the ephemeral trends of larger centers in favor of a steady, grounded existence. This persistence persists beneath the surface, seen in the way the land remains indifferent to the passing of seasons, holding its own silent, mineral-rich history beneath the feet of those who continue to work the soil and navigate its persistent, rocky slopes.
Lac-Beauchastel s'étire avec une tranquille obstination dans le relief accidenté des Collines Kekeko, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle sous la lumière oblique du soir. Les eaux de la Rivière Pelletier longent ces terres avec une constance qui rappelle la persévérance des premiers travailleurs ayant façonné ce secteur par la rigueur de leur labeur quotidien. À proximité, le Lac Beauchastel miroitant renvoie l'éclat changeant d'un ciel boréal, conférant au paysage une profondeur minérale que les collines environnantes abritent avec une solennité presque ancienne. L'économie locale, marquée par les échos d'une histoire industrielle et agricole, se lit encore dans la texture même du sol et la silhouette robuste des bâtisses qui ponctuent les abords de la Rivière Pelletier. Ici, la vie des gens suit le rythme des vents qui descendent des sommets, balayant les versants avec une franchise qui ne tolère aucun artifice. Lac-Beauchastel demeure une présence solide, faite de roches, de courants frais et de cette mémoire collective qui habite chaque sentier serpentant à travers les Collines Kekeko. Le silence qui s'installe à la tombée de la nuit n'est jamais vide, il est habité par la respiration lente des forêts et le souvenir des efforts humains qui ont permis à Lac-Beauchastel de trouver sa place singulière dans cette rudesse magnifique.
