This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lac-Martin, 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-Martin 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-Martin.
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-Martin is a resort area in Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel; Les Chenaux, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Lac-Martin is located at 46.4619°N, 72.6736°W.
Lac-Martin rests quietly within the embrace of the landscape near the La Petite Montagne, cradled by the rolling terrain of Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel. It lies 16.6 km north-west of Trois-Rivières, QC (from Trois-Rivières, QC: bearing 323°T), and is situated 10.4 km south-south-east of Shawinigan. The water of Lac-Martin holds the evening light with a mirror-like stillness, reflecting the dense greens of the surrounding foliage as the air cools. Nearby, the Rivière Saint-Maurice draws the eye toward the horizon, its steady movement providing a constant, low-frequency pulse to the region. The presence of the Chutes de Shawinigan, located about 10 km away, introduces a distant, thunderous energy that contrasts with the localized serenity of the lake. In the golden hour, the shadows stretch long and thin across the earth, imbuing the woods with a sudden, sharp clarity that makes every leaf seem suspended in a brief, amber pause. Settlement in this corner of Les Chenaux grew alongside the demands of the land, shifting from early agricultural roots toward a quiet, modern existence. The economy of Lac-Martin and its surroundings reflects a transition from traditional forestry and farming practices to a more measured pace of life that prizes the proximity of the Rivière Saint-Maurice. Local traditions here remain tied to the seasons, with the inhabitants observing the gradual turn of the year in the way the frost gathers on the edge of the water or the way the mist clings to the slopes of the La Petite Montagne at dawn. This particular corner of the province maintains a dignity in its simplicity, where the daily activities of the people align with the natural contours of the ground rather than competing against them.
Lac-Martin s'étire avec une patience minérale sous le ciel changeant de Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle avant que le jour ne s'efface. À proximité immédiate de La Petite Montagne, le paysage déploie ses reliefs doux qui descendent vers la Rivière Saint-Maurice, laquelle charrie dans son courant une puissance tranquille, façonnée par des siècles de patience géologique. Le Lac-Martin, miroir sombre et paisible, recueille la clarté déclinante du crépuscule, offrant une quiétude que seul le frisson d'une brise légère vient troubler. Tandis que les échos de l'histoire industrielle, portée par le souvenir des Chutes de Shawinigan situées à une dizaine de kilomètres, résonnent encore dans la mémoire des hommes, la vie locale s'ordonne ici selon un rythme mesuré, dicté par la terre fertile et le voisinage des eaux. Les habitants de Lac-Martin cultivent cette intimité avec le sol et le courant, préservant un lien ténu avec les traditions agricoles qui ont jadis tracé les premiers sillons dans cette plaine. L'air, chargé d'une humidité légère, porte en lui une fraîcheur vivifiante, invitant à la contemplation des horizons qui, sans se presser, épousent la courbe des terres environnantes dans une harmonie silencieuse et durable.

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.
