This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lac-Dufault, 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-Dufault.
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-Dufault is a administrative sector in Rouyn-Noranda; Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lac-Dufault is located at 48.3000°N, 79.0333°W.
Lac-Dufault rests within the rugged folds of the Collines Amulet, where the land holds the quiet, heavy memory of the Canadian Shield. It lies 7.1 km north of Rouyn-Noranda, QC (from Rouyn-Noranda, QC: bearing 350°T), and is situated 27.0 km south-south-east of Duparquet. The water of the Rivière Duprat traces a silver path through the terrain, pulling the eye toward the horizon where the light thins and cools as dusk settles over the trees. While Lac Dufault sits only 3 km away, the surrounding expanse feels vast and undisturbed, save for the occasional shift of wind through the dense spruce and pine. The air here carries a sharp, metallic clarity, a signature of the high northern ground that defines the character of Lac-Dufault. Even at a distance of 30 km, the presence of Parc national d'Aiguebelle looms as a reminder of the wild, untamed geography that anchors this entire region. The history of Lac-Dufault is deep-seated in the extraction of minerals, a legacy that leaves the earth marked by the ambition of those who first broke the rock. Men and women here have long defined their days by the shift changes and the endurance required to work the subterranean veins that once fueled the local economy. Today, the pace of life maintains a steady, deliberate motion, reflecting the resilience of a people who have learned to thrive amidst the harsh winters and the fleeting, intense warmth of the short summers. Tradition here is found in the simple, necessary rituals of daily survival and the quiet pride of a heritage built upon the raw, unyielding grit of the ground beneath their feet.
Lac-Dufault s'étire avec une dignité minérale parmi les Collines Amulet, là où la terre semble garder la mémoire des premiers chantiers miniers qui ont forgé le destin de la région. Les eaux de la Rivière Duprat serpentent à travers ce relief accidenté, offrant un contraste de calme liquide face à la rudesse du bouclier canadien. Le ciel, souvent chargé de cette lumière cuivrée propre aux crépuscules nordiques, enveloppe les promeneurs qui longent les rives du Lac Dufault, situé à quelques kilomètres de là. L'activité humaine, marquée par une longue tradition de labeur et de détermination, a façonné les contours de ce territoire où le sol rocheux exige une patience immense. À environ trente kilomètres de distance, le Parc national d'Aiguebelle rappelle la majesté sauvage qui cerne les habitations. Lac-Dufault porte en lui cette persévérance tranquille, celle des gens qui ont appris à lire la géographie des lieux pour y bâtir leur existence. Le vent qui descend des reliefs apporte une fraîcheur constante, rappelant que la nature demeure la véritable propriétaire de ces étendues. Chaque battement de la vie quotidienne se mesure ici à l'aune d'une nature impérieuse, imposant son rythme lent et régulier à ceux qui habitent ces contrées habituées au froid et à la lumière limpide des matins d'hiver.
