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

Magenta is a locality in Ange-Gardien; Rouville, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Magenta is located at 45.2900°N, 72.8886°W.
Magenta rests upon the flat, fertile plains of the Montérégie, where the horizon stretches wide and the sky holds a heavy, luminous quality as the sun dips behind the distant silhouette of the Mont Oak. It lies 17.7 km south-west of Granby, QC (from Granby, QC: bearing 227°T), and is situated 15.0 km north-west of Cowansville. The land here leans toward the Rivière Yamaska, which carves a patient path through the silt and clay, its waters mirroring the shifting grey and violet of the clouds above. On crisp autumn evenings, the air carries a sharp, sweet scent of drying hay and damp earth, a sensory threshold that marks the transition from the long heat of summer to the quietude of the coming frost. While Lac Bleu remains a distant, hidden glint eight kilometers removed, the immediate surroundings of Magenta are defined by the steady, persistent labor of the fields and the low, constant murmur of the river. The history of Magenta is tethered to the slow expansion of agriculture in Ange-Gardien, a legacy kept alive by the families who have worked this soil for generations. Local industry remains deeply rooted in the productivity of the land, with tractors and heavy machinery marking the pace of the seasons more reliably than any clock. Though the bustling activity of Parc national de la Yamaska lies twenty-six kilometers away, the life of Magenta maintains a singular, grounded focus on the cycles of the harvest and the maintenance of the homesteads that line the secondary roads. The character of the people here is as unyielding as the clay, possessed of a quiet resilience that persists even as the modern world pushes against the edges of their quiet, productive corner of Quebec.
Magenta déploie ses terres fertiles sous un ciel vaste, là où les travaux des champs dictent une cadence lente et respectueuse des cycles terriens. À l'ombre protectrice du Mont Oak, le relief s'adoucit pour laisser place à une plaine généreuse, façonnée par une tradition agricole qui puise sa force dans la richesse des sols de la Montérégie. La Rivière Yamaska serpente à proximité, apportant une fraîcheur humide qui imprègne l'air des matins brumeux, tandis que la lumière déclinante du soir nimbe les granges et les silos d'une patine dorée, presque irréelle. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Bleu offre ses eaux paisibles aux rares promeneurs, ajoutant une note de silence minéral à cette étendue rurale. Magenta conserve cette simplicité héritée des pionniers, une humilité qui se lit dans la rectitude des rangs et la persistance des cultures. Plus loin, le Parc national de la Yamaska demeure une sentinelle naturelle, rappelant la proximité d'une nature sauvage que les habitants de Magenta habitent avec une discrétion exemplaire. Entre les parcelles labourées et les boisés épars, la vie quotidienne se déroule sans artifice, portée par un attachement profond à cet horizon où le ciel touche la terre avec une précision saisissante.

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.
