This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lachine, 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 Lachine 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 Lachine.
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.

Lachine is a borough in Montréal; Montréal, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lachine is located at 45.4403°N, 73.7056°W.
Lachine rests upon the gentle, sloping shore of Lac Saint-Louis, a site where the horizon expands across the vast, shimmering surface of the water. It lies 14.1 km west-south-west of Montréal, QC (from Montréal, QC: bearing 237°T), and is situated 12.7 km south-south-east of Laval. The terrain here is shaped by the presence of Le Tertre, a subtle rise in the land that anchors the neighborhood against the open expanse of the lake. As the sun begins its descent, the light catches the ripples near the shore, turning the water into a sheet of hammered silver that shifts with the cooling air. While the Rivière Châteauguay flows quietly some 6 km away, the atmosphere in Lachine remains defined by the immediate, steady pull of the lake, offering a quiet clarity to those who walk its banks. The history of Lachine is deeply rooted in its function as a vital threshold for travel and trade, serving as a gateway for explorers and merchants who once looked toward the horizon for passage. Industry has long marked the character of the district, with remnants of its manufacturing past standing alongside modern life, creating a distinct blend of brick-walled resilience and contemporary growth. The neighborhood maintains a deliberate pace, far removed from the intensity of distant attractions like Chutes Saint-Louis, which lies 20 km away, or the expansive greenery of Parc national d'Oka, located 25 km from the shore. Residents move through their day with a grounded focus, living in a space that balances the weight of its mercantile heritage with the simple, enduring beauty of the water’s edge.
Lachine déploie sa longue silhouette sobre le long des rives du Lac Saint-Louis, là où l’horizon s’ouvre sur une étendue d’eau calme dont la clarté change avec le passage des heures. Le terrain, marqué par la proximité du Tertre, conserve le souvenir des portages anciens et des explorations qui ont dessiné l’identité de cette terre. L’air y possède une texture particulière, chargée de cette fraîcheur qui précède la nuit, tandis que les reflets du couchant viennent mourir sur les quais en pierre. À environ six kilomètres, la Rivière Châteauguay apporte une discrétion fluviale, tandis que le rugissement lointain des Chutes Saint-Louis, situées à une vingtaine de kilomètres, semble ponctuer le silence des vastes étendues environnantes. Vers le nord, à vingt-cinq kilomètres, le Parc national d'Oka ferme l’horizon de sa masse boisée. Lachine porte en elle le poids des mémoires industrielles et des traditions portuaires, où chaque bâtisse de brique raconte l’effort des hommes et la persistance des métiers liés au passage. En marchant près des berges, il est possible de percevoir le rythme des marées intérieures et la solidité d’un sol qui a vu passer les siècles sans jamais perdre sa stature, offrant une présence calme et indomptable dans le paysage québécois.

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.
