This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lac-Solar, 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-Solar 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-Solar.
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-Solar is a resort area in Gore; Argenteuil, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Lac-Solar is located at 45.7658°N, 74.2508°W.
Lac-Solar holds a quiet prominence beneath the shadow of the Mont Green, where the terrain rises in rugged, forested swells. It lies 14.0 km north-north-east of Lachute, QC (from Lachute, QC: bearing 29°T), and is situated 15.8 km north-east of Brownsburg-Chatham. The air here carries a crisp, mineral edge, sharpened by the proximity of the water that anchors the basin. As evening settles, the light across the surface of Lac-Solar takes on a bruised, violet hue, reflecting the dense canopy that defines this stretch of Gore. The landscape remains defined by these solid, earthbound features, maintaining a stillness that seems to hold the very silence of the hills between the trees. The history of this locality reflects the persistent labor of those who cleared the woods and worked the stubborn, rocky soil of Argenteuil. Local industry has long relied on the bounty of the timber and the seasonal shifts of the land, grounding the character of the people in a daily awareness of the terrain. While the Rivière du Nord moves through the wider region some distance away, the immediate existence of those residing near Lac-Solar is shaped by the intimate scale of the hills and the long, cold winters. Farther afield, the presence of Parc national d'Oka suggests the broader ecological reaches of the province, yet life here remains focused on the immediate, tangible reality of the Mont Green and the waters that define its base.
Le Lac-Solar s'éveille dans une quiétude minérale, là où le relief s'incline doucement vers les contreforts du Mont Green. Les terres de Gore conservent une rudesse ancienne, façonnées par le labeur des premiers défricheurs dont les traces persistent dans les murets de pierre bordant les chemins forestiers. À la tombée du jour, la lumière oblique caresse les crêtes, révélant une austérité presque sacrée sur ces plateaux argenteuillois. À quelques encablures, la Rivière du Nord poursuit sa course inlassable, insufflant une fraîcheur vivace qui imprègne l'air, tandis que le Parc national d'Oka, plus lointain, semble veiller sur l'horizon vallonné. Le Lac-Solar agit comme un miroir immobile, captant les teintes changeantes d'un ciel vaste qui ne connaît pas d'artifices. Dans ce secteur, l'économie s'est longtemps nourrie de la forêt et d'une agriculture exigeante, forgeant un caractère tenace chez ceux qui habitent ces parages. Ici, la vie suit le rythme lent des cycles naturels, loin du tumulte, dans une solitude habitée où chaque lever de soleil sur le Mont Green rappelle la permanence d'un sol façonné par les glaciers et le temps long, offrant une présence paisible à ceux qui cherchent la mesure exacte des choses.

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.
Location data for Lac-Solar is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
