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

Moquin is a hamlet in Larouche; Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Moquin is located at 48.4386°N, 71.4392°W.
Moquin rests with a quiet solidity against the rising shoulders of Le Grand Coteau, where the land holds the chill of the north in its deep, wooded folds. It lies 20.0 km south-east of Alma, QC (from Alma, QC: bearing 128°T), and is situated 14.5 km west of Jonquière. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and pine, especially near the hidden edges of Lac Lavoie, which sits barely a kilometer away like a polished stone dropped into the basin. Beyond the immediate rise of the hills, the Saguenay River exerts a silent pull on the horizon, its presence felt in the way the wind shifts across the slopes. When the light fades, the shadows lengthen across the uneven terrain, giving the ground a tactile, heavy quality that seems to absorb the day’s remaining heat. Moquin maintains a modest character defined by the sturdy labor of those who clear the timber and work the surrounding soil. While the roar of Chutes Murdock echoes sixteen kilometers away, the daily life within the settlement itself is measured by the steady hum of machinery and the seasonal cycles of the frost. Local traditions persist in the quiet maintenance of homesteads and the shared knowledge of the forest paths that traverse the higher ground. People here navigate the steep inclines with a familiarity born of long winters, finding a particular beauty in the way the frost clings to the cedar boughs, turning the woods into a brittle, silvered stillness that lasts until the spring thaw.
Moquin déploie ses terres à proximité du Grand Coteau, là où la terre semble retenir le souffle du vent avant qu’il ne glisse vers la vallée. Dans cet espace façonné par une rude patience, le paysage s'étire avec une simplicité qui force le respect, offrant des horizons où la lumière du crépuscule vient mourir sur des reliefs arrondis. À une distance de six kilomètres, la rivière Saguenay poursuit son cheminement immuable, tandis que le Lac Lavoie, situé à seulement un kilomètre, offre ses eaux dormantes au ciel changeant. Plus loin, le fracas lointain des Chutes Murdock rappelle la force vive de la géologie environnante. Moquin porte en lui l’héritage de ceux qui ont su apprivoiser ce sol forestier et agricole, transformant les clairières en sillons fertiles malgré la rigueur des hivers. La vie s'y organise autour d'un rythme lent, dicté par l'exigence du terrain et la proximité des éléments naturels. Chaque foyer semble s'accorder à cette géographie austère, cultivant une résilience discrète qui se transmet par les gestes quotidiens et une habitude du labeur. Ici, l'air porte une fraîcheur particulière, celle qui monte des eaux et des bois, enveloppant Moquin d'une quiétude que seuls les familiers des lieux savent pleinement apprécier.

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.
