This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Pointe-Noire, 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 Pointe-Noire 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 Pointe-Noire.
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.

Pointe-Noire is a administrative sector in Sept-Îles; Sept-Rivières, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Pointe-Noire is located at 50.1581°N, 66.4878°W.
Pointe-Noire occupies a rugged, wind-swept reach of the St. Lawrence, where the vast, cold currents meet the unyielding terrain near the Les Jambons. It lies 9.3 km south-west of Sept-Îles, QC (from Sept-Îles, QC: bearing 232°T), and is situated 13.6 km east-south-east of Barrage-Sainte-Marguerite. The air here holds a sharp, metallic clarity, often carrying the scent of salt and crushed stone that rises from the shoreline. Inland, the landscape shifts toward the quiet stillness of Lac Brochu, located about 2 km away, while the Rivière Hall winds through the surrounding terrain approximately 7 km from the coast. At dusk, the light loses its harshness, turning the surface of the water into a sheet of hammered pewter that reflects the darkening silhouette of the shore. The industrial character of Pointe-Noire remains defined by the heavy presence of shipping and iron ore terminals that serve the wider Sept-Rivières region. This infrastructure dictates the daily movement of the land, as the steady, deep hum of maritime commerce echoes against the rocky bluffs. While the modern economy relies on the transit of resources, Pointe-Noire retains a stark, functional beauty, grounded in the hard labor required to tame such a formidable northern coastline. Life in Pointe-Noire moves in synchronization with the arrival and departure of vessels, a persistent cycle of activity that persists through the long, quiet winters.
Pointe-Noire s’étire le long des rives sombres du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin rencontre la rigueur du relief québécois. Aux abords des Jambons, le paysage se déploie dans une lumière crue qui souligne la rudesse minérale du terrain. À environ deux kilomètres, le Lac Brochu repose dans un silence minéral, tandis que la Rivière Hall chemine à sept kilomètres de là, apportant une fraîcheur vive à cet espace tourné vers les activités industrielles et portuaires. Les structures métalliques qui ponctuent l'horizon rappellent le labeur des hommes et la force des ressources extraites de la terre, façonnant une identité forgée par le travail acharné et le contact permanent avec les éléments. Ici, le ciel bas s'unit à l'immensité du fleuve, créant une atmosphère où la solitude rencontre l'agitation des quais. En observant le flux incessant des navires et l'ondulation des eaux, Pointe-Noire conserve une dignité austère, celle des lieux qui ne cherchent pas à plaire, mais qui persistent dans leur fonction essentielle. La terre, marquée par le poids de l'histoire industrielle, offre une perspective unique sur la ténacité de ceux qui habitent ce littoral, entre la puissance des marées et la présence immuable des vastes étendues d'eau environnantes.

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 Pointe-Noire 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.
