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

Laurent is a locality in Rivière-à-Pierre; Portneuf, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Laurent is located at 47.1490°N, 72.2820°W.
Laurent rests in a rugged cradle of granite and evergreen, anchored by the imposing presence of the Montagne de la Croix. It lies 40.7 km south-west of La Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-Moïse, QC (from La Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-Moïse, QC: bearing 215°T), and is situated 44.5 km north-west of Saint-Raymond. The Rivière Batiscan carves a persistent path through this terrain, its waters reflecting the bruised purples and golds of a fading sky as they hurry past the rocky banks. Only a short distance away, the quiet stillness of Lac des Bétulas offers a mirror to the dense timberland that defines the horizon. The air here holds a crisp, mineral edge, sharpened by the proximity of the high ground, while the light at dusk clings to the slopes of the Montagne de la Croix long after the lowlands have succumbed to shadow. The identity of Laurent is inextricably tied to the stone and timber that have shaped the local economy since the early days of settlement. While the distant, thundering Chutes de la Marmite draw those seeking the raw power of moving water, the daily life of Laurent moves with the steady, industrious pulse of a forest-reliant people. Generations have worked the earth and the woods, finding a livelihood in the dense, silent reaches that extend toward the Rivière Batiscan. Even now, the quiet endurance of the inhabitants mirrors the stoic nature of the landscape, where the seasonal turning of the leaves and the first frost dictate the pace of existence more effectively than any clock.
Laurent habite une terre où le granit semble murmurer les secrets de sa formation géologique, là où le relief s’incline doucement vers les méandres de la Rivière Batiscan. À l’approche du crépuscule, la lumière s’étire sur les pentes de la Montagne de la Croix, enveloppant les demeures d’une clarté dorée qui transforme le minéral en une matière presque palpable. Ce paysage, marqué par une rudesse ancienne, conserve les souvenirs des bâtisseurs ayant extrait la pierre robuste pour les monuments du pays, une industrie dont le silence actuel renforce la noblesse. À peine à un kilomètre de là, le Lac des Bétulas offre une surface calme où le ciel vient se mirer, tandis qu’un peu plus loin, l’eau se fracasse avec une vigueur indomptable contre les rochers aux Chutes de la Marmite, rappelant la force sauvage qui façonne ce secteur de Portneuf. Laurent observe le passage des heures dans cette atmosphère feutrée, bercé par le murmure constant de la rivière qui ponctue la vie quotidienne. Chaque souffle de vent porte la fraîcheur des forêts environnantes, rappelant que l’existence ici se définit par une proximité immédiate avec la terre et les éléments, loin de l’agitation des grandes cités, dans une sérénité que seule une nature aussi indomptée peut offrir.

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.
