This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Place-Citation, 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 Place-Citation.
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.

Place-Citation is a residential area in Saint-Jérôme; La Rivière-du-Nord, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Place-Citation is located at 45.7978°N, 74.0342°W.
Place-Citation rests within the Colline Lafontaine, a landscape defined by the steady, persistent presence of the Rivière du Nord as it carves through the undulating terrain. It lies 3.4 km north-west of Saint-Jérôme, QC (from Saint-Jérôme, QC: bearing 317°T), and is situated 14.3 km south-east of Saint-Sauveur. The water of the Rivière du Nord moves with a cold, insistent clarity, shaping the character of Place-Citation while Lac Claude sits in quiet repose just a kilometer away, reflecting the shifting moods of the sky. In the deeper reaches of the region, the Chutes de New Glasgow drop with a thunderous energy that contrasts with the stillness found near the boundaries of Parc national d'Oka, thirty-six kilometers distant. The air here holds a crisp, northern weight, particularly at dusk when the light thins and settles against the hills, turning the horizon into a sharp, violet edge. Industry and settlement have long followed the course of the river, which once served as the primary artery for the sawmills and paper plants that anchored the regional economy. Place-Citation emerged from these early efforts of labor, growing as the river powered the machinery of progress and dictated the movement of goods through the valley. While the mills have since given way to a more diverse commercial presence, the legacy of that industrial past remains visible in the sturdy masonry of older buildings and the layout of the streets. Today, the residents of Place-Citation maintain a life that respects the heavy seasonal cycles of the Quebec climate, moving between the demands of modern employment and the enduring, quiet pull of the surrounding landscape.
Place-Citation s'étire avec une élégance discrète sur les pentes douces de la Colline Lafontaine, là où les premières lueurs du crépuscule viennent caresser les courbes de la Rivière du Nord. Le terrain, marqué par une topographie qui descend vers le cours d'eau, façonne une atmosphère de quiétude où le silence se mêle au murmure constant du courant. À une faible distance, le Lac Claude conserve une sérénité miroitante sous le ciel changeant, tandis que le souvenir des Chutes de New Glasgow, situées à treize kilomètres, semble imprégner l'air d'une fraîcheur persistante. Plus loin, vers le sud, l'immensité du Parc national d'Oka rappelle aux résidents la vastitude des terres qui entourent Place-Citation, soulignant son caractère de transition entre les reliefs habités et la nature préservée. L'économie locale, portée par une mémoire industrielle liée à la force hydraulique, se manifeste encore dans la manière dont les bâtisses épousent la déclivité du sol. La lumière dorée de la fin de journée révèle ici une texture particulière du paysage, où la terre fertile et les boisés avoisinants rappellent une longue tradition agricole. Dans cet espace, chaque détail architectural souligne une volonté de maintenir un équilibre entre le développement quotidien et l'immédiateté d'une géographie imposante.

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.
