This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lac-Matambin, 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-Matambin.
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-Matambin is a resort area in Saint-Damien; Matawinie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lac-Matambin is located at 46.3297°N, 73.5383°W.
Lac-Matambin rests within the rugged terrain of the Matawinie, where the land rises toward the prominence of Le Pain de Sucre. It lies 34.8 km north-north-west of Joliette, QC (from Joliette, QC: bearing 348°T), and is situated 12.6 km west-north-west of Saint-Gabriel. The waters of Lac-Matambin mirror the sky, held in a quiet basin where the Crique à David feeds the stillness of the shoreline. At dusk, the light catches the surface with a metallic clarity, turning the water into a dark, polished glass that holds the silhouette of the trees until the first stars appear. This landscape, situated in Saint-Damien, maintains a deliberate solitude, defined by the weight of the surrounding forest and the deep, cool breath of the Canadian Shield. The economy of Lac-Matambin reflects the character of a region long shaped by the forest and the slow, seasonal pulse of the north. Generations have moved through these woods, their presence lingering in the narrow tracks and the quiet, persistent work of maintaining life near the water. Today, the local identity stays grounded in the natural cycles of the Matawinie, where the winter chill dictates the pace of the days and the summer sun brings a sharp, bright intensity to the outdoors. Life here keeps a steady, watchful focus on the horizon, valuing the resilience required to thrive in a place where the earth and the water define the boundaries of human reach.
Lac-Matambin s'étire dans une langueur contemplative, là où le relief s'incline doucement vers les eaux calmes qui portent son nom. À proximité, le Pain de Sucre impose sa stature minérale, vigie silencieuse dominant les horizons de Saint-Damien. L'air, saturé d'une fraîcheur résineuse, circule librement sur les rives de Crique à David, dessinant les contours d'une terre où le sol semble retenir la mémoire des premiers défricheurs. Le paysage, marqué par une rudesse élégante, se déploie sous une lumière de crépuscule qui fait vibrer les essences forestières et transforme la surface du Lac-Matambin en un miroir d'argent sombre. Cette topographie singulière, façonnée par les glaciations anciennes, dicte encore aujourd'hui le rythme des jours, incitant les hommes à une existence modeste, en harmonie avec les caprices de la météo et la lenteur des cycles naturels. La présence de Crique à David scande le territoire d'un murmure constant, rappelant que la vie ici dépend de cette eau vive, héritage inaltérable d'une nature qui ne se laisse jamais domestiquer tout à fait. Les habitants habitués à ce cadre austère y puisent une résilience tranquille, observant le Pain de Sucre changer de teinte sous les feux du couchant, alors que la quiétude du soir enveloppe chaque parcelle de ce domaine sauvage.
