This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Le Lac-Sec, 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 Le Lac-Sec 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 Le Lac-Sec.
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.

Le Lac-Sec is a locality in Rivière-Saint-Jean; La Côte-de-Gaspé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Lac-Sec is located at 48.7728°N, 64.8431°W.
Le Lac-Sec rests in a quiet hollow near the Collines du Basque, where the land holds the morning mist long after the sun has climbed the ridges. It lies 27.5 km west-south-west of Gaspé, QC (from Gaspé, QC: bearing 258°T), and is situated 34.0 km west of Douglastown. The water of the Rivière Saint-Jean moves with a deliberate, steady weight through the valley, carving a path that has defined the movement of people and wildlife for generations. Only two kilometers away, the still surface of Cinquième Lac mirrors the dense, dark green of the surrounding spruce, offering a stark contrast to the flowing current of the river nearby. The air here carries a sharp, resinous scent, especially when the light shifts toward dusk and turns the sky into a pale, bruised violet. While Forillon National Park of Canada sits some thirty-nine kilometers to the east, the rugged character of the terrain at Le Lac-Sec feels equally ancient, defined by a silence that is broken only by the wind moving through the high branches or the sudden splash of a trout in the shallows. Life in this part of the Rivière-Saint-Jean has always turned on the cycles of the earth, with the economy finding its footing in the harvest of the woods and the stewardship of the water. The history of the region is written in the grit of those who first cleared the narrow tracks through the hills, establishing a way of life that values the heavy stillness of winter and the short, frantic growth of the summer months. Families here go about their work with a practical focus, maintaining the traditions of a landscape that demands both resilience and a keen eye for the weather. Visitors who venture inland from the coast find that the pace of existence follows the flow of the river, where the primary landmark is the persistence of the quiet itself.
Le Lac-Sec s’étire dans une solitude minérale, là où la lumière décline avec une lenteur solennelle sur les pentes des Collines du Basque. Ce relief accidenté impose sa présence silencieuse aux habitants, tandis que les eaux de la Rivière Saint-Jean serpentent à travers le terrain avec une constance qui semble défier l’usure des jours. À quelques kilomètres seulement, le Cinquième Lac demeure, miroir immobile d’un ciel souvent traversé par les vents salins venus du large. L’air, chargé d’une humidité vive, porte en lui la respiration des forêts denses et cette rigueur propre aux terres gaspésiennes où le travail de la terre a longtemps dicté le rythme des existences. Plus loin, la silhouette lointaine du parc national Forillon du Canada rappelle l’immensité sauvage qui encercle ces espaces habités. Le Lac-Sec conserve une identité humble, façonnée par les cycles de la nature et le labeur des générations qui ont appris à lire la géographie des lieux dans le mouvement des marées et la course du soleil. Ici, le silence ne pèse pas ; il accompagne la vie quotidienne, liant les gestes des hommes à la terre ferme et aux courants secrets de la Rivière Saint-Jean, offrant une persistance qui échappe aux bruits du monde moderne.

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 Le Lac-Sec 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.
