This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Plage-Maurice, 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 Plage-Maurice 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 Plage-Maurice.
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.

Plage-Maurice is a resort in Sainte-Croix; Lotbinière, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Plage-Maurice is located at 46.6332°N, 71.6712°W.
Plage-Maurice rests along the expansive, tidal reach of the St. Lawrence, where the shifting currents dictate the mood of the shoreline. It lies 6.7 km south-east of Donnacona, QC (from Donnacona, QC: bearing 131°T), and is situated 13.9 km south of Pont-Rouge. The landscape here is defined by the proximity of the Le Cabouron, a prominent feature that rises above the riverbank to command the horizon. Near the mouth of the Rivière du Petit Saut, the light at dusk catches the silt and moving water, turning the surface into a sheet of hammered copper that pulls the eye toward the distant, hazy tree lines. Inland, the terrain holds a quiet depth, with Lac Demers situated about 8 km away, offering a still counterpoint to the restless, salt-tinged air of the main river channel. The history of Plage-Maurice is tied to the agricultural traditions of Sainte-Croix, where the fertile ground of Lotbinière has long supported a steady, grounded way of life. While the Réserve écologique de Pointe-Platon sits about 13 km away as a protected sanctuary for the natural heritage of the region, the daily existence at Plage-Maurice remains focused on the seasonal cycles of the river and the modest, persistent demands of local land stewardship. The economy maintains a link to these roots, favoring small-scale ventures that respect the patience required to farm or harvest near such a powerful waterway. In the quiet hours of the morning, when the mist clings to the grasses, the presence of the water provides a constant, low-frequency hum that anchors the identity of the inhabitants to the bank of the St. Lawrence.
Plage-Maurice s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le fleuve impose sa force tranquille et son souffle chargé d'embruns. À proximité du Cabouron, le terrain s'élève en une ondulation naturelle qui semble retenir le regard, tandis que les eaux de la Rivière du Petit Saut serpentent vers le large, traçant un sillage discret dans ce paysage de Lotbinière. Le climat y façonne une terre où l'agriculture a longtemps dicté le rythme des jours, laissant aux habitants une relation intime avec la glaise et la lumière changeante du couchant. À quelques encablures, la présence du Lac Demers apporte une sérénité plus profonde, tandis que la Réserve écologique de Pointe-Platon préserve la rigueur sauvage de la rive, loin du tumulte des routes fréquentées. Plage-Maurice conserve cette allure de halte paisible, habitée par une mémoire que les anciens transmettent par le simple geste de l'observation, dans le silence qui suit le passage des marées. Ici, la ligne d'horizon n'est jamais tout à fait la même, transformée par les humeurs du grand chenal qui déploie son immensité devant les demeures modestes, rappelant que chaque existence se mesure à l'aune de ce mouvement perpétuel des eaux et de la terre ferme.

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.
