This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lac-Gélinas, 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-Gélinas.
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-Gélinas is a hamlet in Mont-Tremblant; Les Laurentides, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lac-Gélinas is located at 46.1650°N, 74.6369°W.
Lac-Gélinas rests within the quiet embrace of the Le Pain de Sucre, a landscape defined by its proximity to the Rivière du Diable. It lies 5.9 km north-north-west of Mont-Tremblant, QC (from Mont-Tremblant, QC: bearing 332°T), and is situated 14.8 km south-south-east of Labelle. The waters of Lac-Gélinas hold the stillness of the deep woods, reflecting the light of a fading sun that turns the surface into a sheet of hammered copper. Here, the land rises in slopes that catch the cooling air of the high country, sheltering the shoreline from the sharper winds that move toward Parc national du Mont-Tremblant. The character of the terrain is one of ancient, quiet permanence, where the scent of balsam and cooling earth rises to meet the evening. The history of Lac-Gélinas reflects the persistent labor of those who first cleared paths through the dense timber to harness the timber and water of the region. Local life centers on the seasonal shifts of the environment, where the economy has transitioned from the early extraction of resources toward a stewardship of the natural terrain. The rhythm of the day follows the movement of the light across the hills, maintaining a focus on the outdoor life that defines the identity of the people living near the Rivière du Diable. Small traditions persist, marked by the simple, enduring habit of observing the changing seasons from the docks and trails that define the edges of Lac-Gélinas.
Lac-Gélinas s'étire avec une patience minérale sous le regard du Pain de Sucre, ce relief imposant qui semble protéger les eaux tranquilles des vents dominants. Les abords immédiats du Lac-Gélinas se confondent avec le murmure de la Rivière du Diable, dont le cours sinueux sculpte le sol forestier avec une persistance millénaire. Ici, la lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les rives en déposant des éclats cuivrés, révélant la texture rugueuse des écorces et la profondeur sombre des sous-bois où se concentre toute la vitalité sauvage. Les habitants de Lac-Gélinas habitent un territoire modelé par la rudesse du climat nordique, une terre exigeante qui impose un rythme lent, calqué sur les cycles de la nature plutôt que sur l'agitation du monde extérieur. L'air y possède une clarté vive, presque tranchante, qui purifie les pensées et renforce le lien charnel entre l'homme et cet environnement escarpé. À une distance respectable, le Parc national du Mont-Tremblant rappelle la grandeur des étendues sauvages environnantes, mais c'est bien ici, dans le silence des berges, que se déploie l'identité singulière de Lac-Gélinas, entre les roches anciennes et la course ininterrompue des eaux vers les vallées plus basses.

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.
