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

Melbourne is a township municipality in Melbourne; Le Val-Saint-François, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Melbourne is located at 45.5833°N, 72.1667°W.
Melbourne rests within the Colline Melbourne, a landscape where the earth rises in slow, deliberate swells that catch the low autumn light. It lies 27.9 km south-west of Val-des-Sources, QC (from Val-des-Sources, QC: bearing 219°T), and is situated 9.3 km south of Richmond. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity, sharpened by the proximity of the Rivière Saint-François, which flows purposefully through the valley some 6 km away. Beyond the immediate fields, the terrain holds the quiet presence of Lac Lebeau, situated about 7 km from the heart of the settlement, while the distant, rugged silhouette of the Parc national du Mont-Orford marks the horizon 28 km to the south. Even the Chutes à Kendall, lying 15 km distant, seems to lend a subtle, hidden energy to the moisture in the breeze, cooling the fields where the shadows lengthen as the sun retreats behind the hills. The history of Melbourne remains anchored in the stubborn resilience of those who first cleared these slopes to establish a life tied to the land. Agriculture continues to define the local economy, with barns and silos standing as markers of a persistent work ethic that values the harvest above the clamour of modern life. People in Melbourne move with a measured focus, their days dictated by the changing seasons and the requirements of the soil. There is a distinct, quiet dignity in the way the local roads follow the natural contours of the hills, avoiding the shortest path in favour of the one that respects the ground. This persistence of tradition ensures that the character of the region stays firmly rooted in its agricultural heritage, maintaining a sense of place that feels both enduring and remarkably still.
Melbourne s’étire sur les ondulations douces de la Colline Melbourne, offrant une perspective apaisante sur les terres agricoles qui définissent depuis longtemps l’identité de ce secteur du Val-Saint-François. L’air y possède une clarté particulière, surtout lorsque le crépuscule dépose une lumière dorée sur les champs, révélant la texture fine d’un sol façonné par des générations de labeur rural. À six kilomètres, la Rivière Saint-François trace son chemin tranquille, apportant une fraîcheur bienvenue aux plaines environnantes, tandis que le Lac Lebeau, situé à sept kilomètres, demeure un miroir paisible sous le ciel vaste. Plus loin, à quinze kilomètres, le fracas des Chutes à Kendall ponctue le silence de la forêt, et la silhouette imposante du Parc national du Mont-Orford, distant de vingt-huit kilomètres, borne l’horizon de son relief majestueux. La vie à Melbourne se déploie selon un rythme lent, marqué par le passage des récoltes et le calme des routes de campagne. En parcourant les chemins qui serpentent autour de Melbourne, le visiteur perçoit une sérénité ancienne, celle d’un paysage où chaque colline et chaque étendue d’eau conservent le souvenir des pionniers qui ont su apprivoiser cette terre exigeante et fertile.

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 Melbourne 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.
