This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lac-Gatineau, 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-Gatineau 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-Gatineau.
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-Gatineau is a hamlet in Mont-Laurier; Antoine-Labelle, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lac-Gatineau is located at 46.5603°N, 75.7158°W.
Lac-Gatineau rests as a quiet basin of deep water tucked beneath the watchful slopes of the Montagne des Pères. It lies 16.3 km west of Mont-Laurier, QC (from Mont-Laurier, QC: bearing 275°T), and is situated 29.0 km north-east of Maniwaki. The air here holds a crisp, persistent weight, settling heavily over the surface of the lake until the evening light turns the water into a sheet of hammered silver. Only a kilometer separates the stillness of Lac-Gatineau from the neighboring waters of Lac Charlebois, while the Rivière des Sables winds its way through the broader landscape some eight kilometers distant. The terrain maintains a rugged, forested character that demands a certain patience from those who traverse its rocky inclines, yet the surrounding woods offer a profound shelter that has defined the character of the land for generations. The history of the region remains rooted in the resilience of those who carved a life from the dense timber and the demanding climate of the Antoine-Labelle territory. While the modern economy of Lac-Gatineau balances the necessity of local industry with a quiet dedication to the natural world, the influence of the land dominates the daily turn of events. Travelers seeking the vast, protected reaches of the Réserve écologique Rolland-Germain find themselves thirty kilometers removed from the lake, emphasizing the isolation that keeps the local pace deliberate and steady. Life moves with the seasons here, marked by the long, cold stillness of winter and the sudden, vibrant return of growth that transforms the slopes of the Montagne des Pères into a wall of green.
Lac-Gatineau déploie ses rives paisibles sous le regard immuable de la Montagne des Pères, érigeant une présence minérale qui domine l’horizon des hautes terres. Ici, la lumière du couchant s’étire sur les eaux sombres, révélant une quiétude que seul le souffle du vent vient troubler. À une faible distance, le Lac Charlebois prolonge cette étendue liquide, tandis que la Rivière des Sables serpente avec une lenteur calculée, drainant les terres alentour et rythmant la vie des habitants. Le territoire, marqué par une rudesse ancienne, exige une patience que les hommes ont apprise des cycles forestiers et de la rigueur climatique des Laurentides. Plus loin, vers le sud, la Réserve écologique Rolland-Germain protège un sanctuaire végétal où la flore s’épanouit sans contrainte, rappelant la fragilité de cet équilibre naturel. Lac-Gatineau conserve cette âme des grands espaces où le travail de la terre et l’exploitation mesurée des ressources ont forgé une identité résiliente, loin de l’agitation urbaine. Les résidents y habitent un espace fait de roc, d’eau froide et de forêts denses, où chaque journée s’inscrit dans la répétition des gestes simples et l’observation attentive du changement des cieux au-dessus de cette terre sauvage.

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.
