This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lac-Guindon, 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-Guindon.
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-Guindon is a resort area in Sainte-Anne-des-Lacs; Les Pays-d'en-Haut, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lac-Guindon is located at 45.8683°N, 74.1200°W.
The stillness of Lac-Guindon settles deep into the surrounding terrain of the Mont Sainte-Anne, where the forest canopy holds the light of late afternoon in a grip of cedar and spruce. It lies 13.7 km north-west of Saint-Jérôme, QC (from Saint-Jérôme, QC: bearing 319°T), and is situated 4.0 km south-east of Saint-Sauveur. The Rivière du Nord carves a deliberate path through the landscape, its current providing a cold, persistent pulse that dictates the character of the woods. Lac-Guindon itself mirrors the sky with a clarity that renders the surrounding hills into soft, inverted silhouettes upon the surface. During the transition into dusk, the air thins and sharpens, carrying the scent of damp earth and coniferous needles that lingers long after the sun dips behind the rise of the land. Development around Lac-Guindon reflects a long history of seasonal movement and the gradual solidification of permanent residence within the Les Pays-d'en-Haut region. While the economy once relied on the extraction of timber and the rugged labor of the frontier, the modern reality of Lac-Guindon leans toward the preservation of a quiet, residential life that favors proximity to the natural world. Residents maintain a connection to the heritage of the Rivière du Nord, respecting the water as a defining feature that has guided human activity here for generations. Farther afield, the Chutes de New Glasgow serve as a reminder of the region's kinetic energy, yet life near Lac-Guindon prefers the interior peace of the hills, where the traditions of the north remain present in the architecture and the slow, deliberate pace of the passing seasons.
Lac-Guindon déploie ses rives paisibles dans le relief du Mont Sainte-Anne, là où la lumière déclinante caresse la surface des eaux avec une lenteur presque méditative. La Rivière du Nord serpente à proximité, imposant son rythme aux terres de Sainte-Anne-des-Lacs, tandis que le Lac Guindon, situé à quelques enjambées de là, semble retenir le souffle du jour qui s’achève. Le paysage s’ordonne en une géographie de collines douces et de forêts qui, depuis l’époque des premiers défrichements agricoles, conservent une solennité austère sous le ciel des Pays-d'en-Haut. La vie y suit le cours naturel des heures, marquée par l’air vif qui descend des hauteurs et la texture particulière d’un sol qui a longtemps exigé la patience des hommes. Plus loin, vers le sud, la mémoire du territoire se prolonge jusqu’aux Chutes de New Glasgow, dont le grondement lointain rappelle la force vive des éléments façonnant cette contrée québécoise. Lac-Guindon demeure un espace de silence préservé, une halte où la nature ne se donne pas en spectacle, mais s’offre dans une sobriété qui rappelle la rudesse et la beauté des terres anciennes, habitées par le passage discret des générations qui ont bâti ici leur quotidien.
