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

Northfield is a administrative sector in Gracefield; La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Northfield is located at 46.0917°N, 76.0417°W.
Northfield occupies a quiet stretch of land defined by the steady, dark presence of the Rivière Gatineau as it moves through the heart of La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau. It lies 31.8 km south of Maniwaki, QC (from Maniwaki, QC: bearing 188°T), and is situated 14.0 km south-south-west of Bouchette. The air here holds a particular clarity, especially at dusk when the cooling light settles over the water and brings the surrounding woods into sharp, deepening relief. Lac Saint-Joseph rests only 2 km away, offering a reflective stillness that mirrors the quiet character of the terrain. While the landscape is marked by the rugged endurance of the Canadian Shield, the nearby Réserve écologique de l'Érablière-du-Trente-et-Un-Milles, situated about 16 km away, preserves a dense, ancient quietude that defines the ecological soul of the region. Northfield sustains a long-standing connection to the land through its heritage of forestry and modest agricultural pursuits, both of which have shaped the practical, industrious nature of those who reside here. Daily life in Northfield follows the seasonal cycles of the river, with the local economy shifting to accommodate the distinct demands of the northern climate. Traditions here remain understated, favoring the persistence of small-scale industry and the maintenance of a landscape that demands respect for its natural boundaries. The people of Northfield maintain a steady, grounded existence, finding a sense of belonging in the way the morning mist clings to the banks of the Rivière Gatineau before the sun fully claims the day.
Northfield déploie ses terres sur les rives de la Rivière Gatineau, là où la lumière décline avec une douceur particulière sur les ondulations du relief. Le paysage se définit par la présence constante de la Rivière Gatineau, dont les eaux sombres accompagnent le quotidien des habitants, rappelant les origines forestières et agricoles qui ont façonné le développement des lieux. À quelques battements d'ailes, le Lac Saint-Joseph offre une quiétude minérale, ses contours dessinés par la rigueur du climat québécois et la patience des forêts environnantes. Plus loin, à seize kilomètres, la Réserve écologique de l'Érablière-du-Trente-et-Un-Milles préserve une flore sauvage, gardienne silencieuse des essences d'érables qui colorent le secteur. Northfield se vit dans le calme des matins où la brume s'attarde sur les berges, une réalité façonnée par l'isolement relatif et la persistance d'un mode de vie tourné vers la terre et les courants fluviaux. Les demeures et les chemins suivent les courbes naturelles du terrain, évitant la brusquerie des lignes droites pour épouser la géographie des lieux. Chaque saison apporte son lot de travaux, des récoltes aux boisés, maintenant une tradition de labeur humble qui se transmet sans éclat, par le simple geste de l'entretien et de la présence.

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.
