This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lac-Pimbina, 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-Pimbina 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-Pimbina.
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-Pimbina is a hamlet in Saint-Donat; Matawinie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lac-Pimbina is located at 46.3711°N, 74.2300°W.
Lac-Pimbina rests as a quiet basin of water cradled by the rugged, ascending slopes of Mont Nixon. It lies 40.0 km north-east of Mont-Tremblant, QC (from Mont-Tremblant, QC: bearing 45°T), and is situated 5.9 km north of Saint-Donat-de-Montcalm. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity, cooling as it drifts down from the higher elevations to settle upon the mirror-like surface of the lake. Only a kilometer away, Lac du Pimbina mirrors the same stillness, creating a twin presence that anchors the surrounding wilderness. To the east, the Rivière L'Assomption flows with a steady, enduring pulse some 8 km distant, while the expansive reaches of Parc national du Mont-Tremblant sit roughly 12 km to the north, defining the horizon with a vast, forested silhouette. As the sun dips behind the rise of Mont Nixon, the water deepens into a bruised violet, absorbing the last of the light until the shadows of the trees stretch long and thin across the shoreline. Lac-Pimbina carries the quiet weight of a landscape shaped by generations who lived in close proximity to the timber and the seasonal shifts of the Matawinie. Life in this sector of Saint-Donat persists through a long-standing reliance on the rhythms of the forest, where the economy has shifted from the early extraction of wood to a modern appreciation for the solitude offered by the terrain. Visitors and residents alike move through the days with a focused attention on the changing seasons, respecting the cold that tightens the earth in winter and the thaw that brings the thaw-fed streams to life. The local character draws its strength from this isolation, remaining distinct and self-contained amidst the hills that guard the borders of the region.
Lac-Pimbina s'étend sous une lumière argentée, là où les pentes du Mont Nixon imposent leur présence silencieuse sur la topographie tourmentée de la Matawinie. L'air y possède une densité particulière, une fraîcheur vive qui semble stagner entre les troncs lorsque le soleil décline derrière les reliefs accidentés. À peine un kilomètre sépare ces rives paisibles du Lac du Pimbina, offrant une continuité de miroirs sombres où les conifères viennent tremper leurs aiguilles. Le paysage, modelé par une rudesse ancienne, s'ouvre vers les horizons lointains où la Rivière L'Assomption trace son sillon à huit kilomètres de distance, charriant les eaux des hauteurs vers les plaines en aval. Plus loin, à douze kilomètres, le Parc national du Mont-Tremblant déploie ses vastes étendues sauvages, accentuant l'isolement protecteur de Lac-Pimbina. Les habitants, héritiers d'une vie rythmée par l'exploitation forestière et la rigueur du climat, entretiennent un rapport de respect muet avec cette terre ingrate mais féconde. Ici, la tranquillité ne se cherche pas, elle s'impose par le poids des roches et la fixité des arbres, offrant aux rares visiteurs une immersion dans une nature qui ignore le passage des modes, préférant la permanence des ombres allongées sur les sentiers escarpés.

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.
