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

Masson is a post office in Gatineau; Outaouais, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Masson is located at 45.5444°N, 75.4208°W.
Masson rests within the quiet elevation of the Quigley Hill, looking out toward the persistent, dark currents of the Rivière du Lièvre. It lies 26.1 km east-north-east of Gatineau, QC (from Gatineau, QC: bearing 60°T), and is situated 11.2 km north-east of Orléans. The land here holds the damp, heavy scent of river silt and ancient stone, where the light at dusk turns the water into a sheet of hammered pewter, mirroring the stillness of the slopes. Nearby, the presence of Chutes Dufferin adds a low, constant vibration to the air, a reminder of the water’s restless passage through the terrain. Further afield, the expansive reach of Parc national de Plaisance and the quiet margins of Baie Carpentier define the wider horizons, grounding the landscape in a geography of water and shadow. Masson maintains a character shaped by the long, arduous labor of those who first harnessed the river’s power for industry. The economy has historically turned on the movement of timber and the operation of mills, activities that demanded a sturdy, pragmatic resilience from the inhabitants. Today, the pace of life in Masson reflects this legacy, favoring a steady, industrious outlook that persists even as the seasons cycle from the biting grip of winter to the sudden, verdant bloom of spring. While the modern world presses against its borders, the daily routines of the people remain anchored to the river’s edge, where the history of the region lingers in the weathered siding of older buildings and the persistent, swirling eddies of the Rivière du Lièvre.
Masson déploie ses habitations sur les pentes douces de la colline Quigley, tournant son regard vers les eaux sombres et puissantes de la Rivière du Lièvre. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les façades, révélant une terre façonnée par l'industrie forestière et le labeur des générations qui ont domestiqué ces rives. À quelques encablures, les Chutes Dufferin ajoutent au silence de la vallée un murmure permanent, tandis que la Baie Carpentier offre un refuge paisible aux reflets changeants du ciel. Plus loin, l’horizon s’élargit vers le Parc national de Plaisance, dont la présence naturelle influence le rythme des jours. Masson conserve l'allure d'un poste établi sur une terre de contrastes, où la rigueur du climat québécois sculpte les habitudes et les gestes quotidiens. Les habitants connaissent cette géographie familière, marquée par la force du courant et l'élévation des terres environnantes. Ici, les traditions se transmettent sans artifice, portées par une mémoire qui privilégie la simplicité des rencontres et la persistance des liens avec le sol. Chaque chemin menant vers les hauteurs de la colline Quigley rappelle la ténacité des premiers défricheurs, dont l'héritage demeure sensible dans la structure même des rues et dans la patience avec laquelle Masson observe le passage des heures.

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.
