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

Laurentides is a locality in Rivière-à-Pierre; Portneuf, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Laurentides is located at 47.1350°N, 72.2794°W.
Laurentides sits nestled within the rugged, forested terrain of the Canadian Shield, where the earth rises in quiet prominence toward the Montagne de la Croix. It lies 41.9 km south-west of La Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-Moïse, QC (from La Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-Moïse, QC: bearing 214°T), and is situated 43.4 km north-west of Saint-Raymond. The air here holds a crisp, resinous clarity, especially at dusk when the light catches the moving surface of the Rivière Batiscan, turning the current into a ribbon of dark, polished slate. Nearby, the stillness of the woods is punctuated only by the subtle shifts of the wind, while the proximity of Lac des Bétulas adds a reflective depth to the landscape. This terrain, defined by its ancient rock and persistent greenery, maintains a solemn beauty that seems to hold its breath against the coming of the night. The history of Laurentides remains bound to the extraction of stone and the rhythm of the timber trade, activities that long ago set the pace for those settling along the riverbanks. While the Chutes de la Marmite draw those seeking the persistent roar of falling water, the daily life of Laurentides follows a quieter course, dictated by the seasons and the demands of the land. The industry of the region, once focused heavily on the granite quarries that gave the locality its reputation, has softened into a steady, modest existence. Residents move with a deliberate purpose, their lives shaped by the same granite foundations that support the slopes of the Montagne de la Croix and the deep, cold waters of the Rivière Batiscan.
Laurentides s'étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les rives de la Rivière Batiscan, là où le terrain s'élève doucement vers les pentes de la Montagne de la Croix. La lumière du soir y possède une épaisseur particulière, dorant les roches et les écorces avant de glisser vers le Lac des Bétulas, situé à une courte distance de marche. Dans ce secteur de Portneuf, le travail de la terre et l'exploitation des carrières de granit ont longtemps dicté le rythme des jours, forgeant une identité liée à la rudesse bienveillante du sol québécois. Les habitants, habitués au murmure constant de l'eau, reconnaissent la force de ce paysage sculpté par les éléments, où le silence des forêts environnantes finit toujours par dominer l'agitation humaine. À seize kilomètres de là, les Chutes de la Marmite rappellent la puissance indomptable qui anime ces terres, offrant un contraste saisissant avec la quiétude des sentiers boisés. Laurentides demeure un espace de patience et de persévérance, gardant en mémoire le labeur des anciens bâtisseurs dont les mains ont extrait la pierre pour ériger les édifices de la région, laissant un héritage de solidité qui se devine encore sous la mousse et le lichen des chemins oubliés.

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 Laurentides 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.
