This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lac-Clair, 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 Lac-Clair.
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-Clair is a hamlet in Rawdon; Matawinie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lac-Clair is located at 46.0906°N, 73.8044°W.
Lac-Clair rests in a quiet embrace beneath the shadow of Mont Vénus, where the water holds the sky in a stillness so absolute it seems to stop the breath of the passing wind. It lies 28.9 km west-north-west of Joliette, QC (from Joliette, QC: bearing 285°T), and is situated 9.2 km north-west of Rawdon. The land here rises in sudden, firm shoulders of granite, pushing through the pine needles and moss with a stubborn grace that defines the rugged edges of the Canadian Shield. Nearby, the Rivière Burton cuts a persistent, silver path through the dense growth, its cold currents carrying the scent of damp stone and cedar. When the late afternoon sun slants low against the trees, the light catches the surface of the water, turning the deep, dark depths into a polished mirror that reflects the jagged silhouette of Mont Vénus with startling, sharp clarity. The history of Lac-Clair gathers in the quiet corners of the woods, where the remnants of early industry once relied on the steady flow of the Rivière Burton to power the local mills. Today, the economy of Lac-Clair leans into the stillness, favoring the slow, deliberate pace of those who find value in the seasonal shifts of the forest rather than the rush of the modern world. Life moves with the turning of the leaves and the thickening of the ice, a cycle maintained by the few who choose to live within the reach of the high ridges. Four kilometers away, the sound of Les Cascades provides a constant, low-frequency pulse, a reminder of the raw energy that persists even when the settlement itself seems to hold its peace in the cooling air of evening.
Lac-Clair déploie ses rives sous une lumière de fin de jour qui semble suspendre le mouvement des heures, offrant aux regards la limpidité de ses eaux installées au pied du Mont Vénus. Dans cet espace où la terre de la Matawinie s'étire avec une lenteur minérale, la Rivière Burton trace un sillage paisible, accompagnant le labeur discret des habitants qui perpétuent ici une existence façonnée par la rudesse et la grâce du climat québécois. À quelques lieues de là, le murmure des Cascades rappelle la force vive des courants qui irriguent ces terres, tandis que le relief accidenté dicte, par ses ondulations, le rythme des travaux agricoles et forestiers ayant historiquement structuré le développement de la région. Lac-Clair demeure un sanctuaire où la nature impose sa cadence, loin des agitations urbaines, invitant à une contemplation silencieuse des sommets et des méandres fluviaux. L'air y possède une texture particulière, imprégnée de la fraîcheur boisée et de la mémoire des premiers défricheurs dont les efforts persistent dans l'organisation actuelle du territoire. Chaque sentier longeant le rivage raconte une histoire de patience, reliant les demeures éparses à cette géographie exigeante qui, par ses perspectives ouvertes sur le Mont Vénus, confère à Lac-Clair une dignité toute singulière.

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.
