This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lac-Hughes, 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-Hughes.
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-Hughes is a resort area in Gore; Argenteuil, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Lac-Hughes is located at 45.8042°N, 74.2478°W.
The rugged, granite-strewn topography of the Laurentian Highlands finds a quiet reflection in the still, dark waters of Lac-Hughes. It lies 17.9 km north-north-east of Lachute, QC (from Lachute, QC: bearing 23°T), and is situated 12.5 km south-west of Saint-Sauveur. The land surrounding Lac-Hughes rises toward the stony shoulders of the Mont Green, where the air grows thin and sharp against the spruce and balsam fir. During the long, bruised twilights of autumn, the light catches the surface of Lac-Hughes with a metallic sheen, turning the water into a mirror for the encroaching shadows of the hills. The terrain here resists the easy marks of human settlement, demanding a persistent, quiet endurance from the few who carve a living from the rocky soil and the dense, encroaching timber. Life in Gore remains defined by the persistence of its early settlers, who navigated the steep ridges and dense forests to establish a foothold in this challenging interior. While the Rivière du Nord flows through the broader region, the inhabitants of Lac-Hughes have long looked inward to the immediate forest and the small, hidden clearings for their sustenance. The local economy relies on the slow extraction of timber and the maintenance of a landscape that demands constant attention, favoring those who understand the weight of a northern winter. Even as the seasons shift, the character of Lac-Hughes persists, grounded in the hard-won independence of those who choose to dwell within the shadow of the Mont Green.
Lac-Hughes s'étire dans une langueur contemplative sous la garde silencieuse du Mont Green, dont les pentes boisées projettent sur les eaux une ombre longue et bleutée lorsque le soleil décline. L'air y possède cette densité particulière des terres d'Argenteuil, une fraîcheur qui semble descendre des hauteurs pour se déposer avec une régularité presque familière sur les rives. À une distance de quatorze kilomètres, la Rivière du Nord poursuit sa course, mais ici, c'est le calme de Lac-Hughes qui domine, imposant son rythme aux heures qui s'écoulent. L'histoire du secteur se devine dans la rudesse du relief et dans les traces d'une occupation humaine qui a su composer avec un sol exigeant, façonnant une vie tournée vers la proximité de la terre et le respect de ces formes naturelles immuables. La lumière du crépuscule accroche les cimes des arbres, révélant une texture de paysage où le granite et le feuillage se confondent, offrant aux habitants une quiétude qui ne nécessite aucun artifice. En observant la surface immobile, on saisit comment Lac-Hughes maintient sa présence dans ce paysage québécois, une existence modeste et solide, définie par la rencontre entre la roche du Mont Green et l'étendue paisible qui porte son nom.

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.
