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

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-Saint-Charles.
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-Saint-Charles is a railway yard in Montréal; Montréal, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Pointe-Saint-Charles is located at 45.4806°N, 73.5475°W.
Pointe-Saint-Charles occupies a low-lying stretch of land along the St. Lawrence, where the shifting light of dusk softens the hard lines of the horizon. It lies 3.2 km south of Montréal, QC (from Montréal, QC: bearing 171°T), and is situated 9.8 km west-south-west of Longueuil. The industrial legacy of Pointe-Saint-Charles remains visible in the sturdy brick facades and wide streets that once served the bustling rail yards and factories of a bygone era. Men and women once walked these paths to work in the shadows of heavy machinery, their lives defined by the clatter of iron and the steam of locomotives. Today, the pace of life has shifted, though the neighborhood retains a rugged, weathered integrity that mirrors the strength of its foundations. Residents move through their days with a quiet focus, mindful of the cold air that rolls off the water during the long months of winter. Nearby, the blue expanse of Lac de l'Île Notre-Dame offers a stark contrast to the urban terrain, while the distant, verdant stretches of Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville and the winding path of the Rivière Saint-Jacques remind those who live here of the vast, natural world that persists beyond the city’s edge. Even as the neighborhood transforms, the proximity to the Les Écores provides a permanent sense of orientation, keeping the spirit of the place anchored to the river’s slow, persistent current.
Pointe-Saint-Charles s’étire sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le courant puissant dicte une cadence ancienne aux hommes et aux pierres. Le terrain, façonné par un passé industriel robuste, conserve encore le souvenir des usines qui alimentaient autrefois le dynamisme de Montréal, leurs structures de briques sombres contrastant avec la lumière changeante du crépuscule qui baigne les Écores. À environ trois kilomètres, le Lac de l'Île Notre-Dame apporte une quiétude liquide aux abords de ce quartier, tandis que le souffle des vents rappelle la proximité du Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville, situé à seize kilomètres, et le murmure lointain de la Rivière Saint-Jacques, coulant à sept kilomètres. Dans la vie quotidienne, Pointe-Saint-Charles demeure fidèle à ses racines ouvrières, une identité solide qui se transmet de génération en génération malgré les transformations urbaines. L'air y est chargé de l'humidité du grand fleuve, une présence constante qui semble adoucir les angles des bâtisses et les rues qui descendent vers les eaux. Les habitants habitués à ce voisinage aquatique perçoivent dans chaque reflet du soir une continuité, une manière de vivre qui appartient exclusivement à ce coin de terre, loin des agitations excessives, tourné vers le mouvement incessant du courant qui emporte avec lui les heures et les mémoires.
