This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lac-Kataway, 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-Kataway.
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-Kataway is a hamlet in Saint-Michel-des-Saints; Matawinie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lac-Kataway is located at 46.6939°N, 74.0042°W.
Lac-Kataway rests within the rugged expanse of the Matawinie, where the stillness of the Canadian Shield defines the character of the terrain. It lies 78.7 km north-east of Mont-Tremblant, QC (from Mont-Tremblant, QC: bearing 35°T), and is situated 6.8 km west of Saint-Michel-des-Saints. The air here holds a crisp, singular weight, especially as the late afternoon light settles over the water, turning the surface of Lac-Kataway into a mirror of deep, bruised violet. Nearby, the Rivière Sauvage winds through the dense timber, its movement providing a subtle pulse to the quiet woods that stretch toward the horizon. While the grandeur of Parc national du Mont-Tremblant sits some distance away, the immediate surroundings of Lac-Kataway offer a more intimate, solitary encounter with the northern forest. The history of Saint-Michel-des-Saints informs the steady, deliberate habits of those who occupy this landscape, where the local economy has long looked toward the bounty of the timber and the seasonal endurance of the land. Generations have navigated the demands of this climate, finding a balance between the necessity of industry and the preservation of the wild, untamed reaches that define the region. Life in Lac-Kataway follows the turning of the seasons, marked by the arrival of the first frost and the slow, heavy accumulation of snow that hushes the world. The cultural identity of the locality remains rooted in the traditions of the north, reflecting a heritage that respects the solitude of the forest and the quiet, persistent strength of a life lived close to the elements.
Le Lac-Kataway déploie ses eaux sombres dans une quiétude minérale, là où la lumière déclinante du soir semble s’attarder sur les aiguilles des conifères. Les rives se dessinent avec une netteté austère, révélant un terrain accidenté typique de la Matawinie, façonné par des siècles de rigueurs climatiques. À quelques encablures, la Rivière Sauvage poursuit sa course obstinée, marquant le relief d’un sillon humide et indompté, tandis que le Parc national du Mont-Tremblant, plus lointain, impose sa présence massive comme un rempart contre l’agitation du monde. Autour du Lac-Kataway, la terre garde le souvenir des anciens chantiers forestiers qui ont longtemps dicté le rythme des jours, transformant le bois en une richesse nécessaire à la survie des foyers. Les habitants connaissent cette terre par la patience qu’elle exige et par le froid qui, dès l’automne, durcit la sève et le ciel. Ici, la vie s’ordonne selon la précision des cycles de la forêt et des courants, offrant une existence dépouillée de tout artifice. Chaque sentier, chaque passage vers la Rivière Sauvage, raconte une ténacité silencieuse, celle d’hommes et de femmes ayant appris à lire le paysage comme une partition familière, où le silence est une composante essentielle de l’identité locale.
