This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Port-Alfred, 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 Port-Alfred.
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.

Port-Alfred is a administrative sector in Saguenay; Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Port-Alfred is located at 48.3289°N, 70.8897°W.
Port-Alfred rests where the land leans toward the deep, cold currents of the St. Lawrence, cradled by the steady flow of the Rivière Ha! Ha!. It lies 16.9 km south-east of Saguenay, QC (from Saguenay, QC: bearing 131°T), and is situated 13.5 km south of Saint-Fulgence. The air here holds a crisp, maritime weight, catching the evening light as it settles over the water in hues of bruised plum and slate. Beyond the immediate shoreline, the terrain rises toward the rugged expanse of Parc national des Monts-Valin, which looms thirty-three kilometers away like a silent guardian of the north. Closer to home, the landscape hides quiet treasures such as Lac à Poléon, tucked just two kilometers from the heart of the settlement, and the hidden rush of Chutes à Gamelin, found five kilometers deeper into the surrounding woods. Whether the season brings the sharp bite of winter or the brief, intense green of a northern summer, Port-Alfred remains defined by the persistent pulse of its waterways and the enduring strength of the earth beneath it. Industry has long anchored the life of Port-Alfred, with the deep-water port serving as a vital artery for the movement of goods that sustain the regional economy. Generations have worked within the rhythm of these docks, their days marked by the arrival and departure of massive vessels that navigate the tides of the St. Lawrence with practiced ease. The spirit of the people reflects this maritime heritage, grounded in a resilience that mirrors the steady, unyielding current of the Rivière Ha! Ha!. During the quiet hours of the morning, when the fog curls tightly against the piers, one can sense the history of those who first built their lives upon these banks. It is a place that values the honest labor of the hand and the sharp, clear clarity of a life lived in proximity to the wild, untamed corners of the landscape.
Port-Alfred s’étire avec une noblesse austère le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin rencontre la force tranquille de la Rivière Ha! Ha!. La lumière du soir y dépose une clarté bleutée, révélant la silhouette des installations industrielles qui ont façonné l’identité laborieuse de ce port historique. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac à Poléon offre une quiétude sombre, tandis que les Chutes à Gamelin sculptent la roche avec une persistance sonore qui habite la mémoire des habitants. Vers le nord, l’horizon se ferme sur la masse imposante du Parc national des Monts-Valin, dont la silhouette lointaine rappelle aux résidents de Port-Alfred l'immensité sauvage qui borde leur quotidien. L'air y possède une texture vive, chargée des souvenirs d’une marine marchande autrefois reine des quais, quand le battement de cœur de la région résonnait au rythme des navires imposants. Dans ce décor où la terre semble hésiter entre la solidité du roc et la fluidité des courants, la vie se poursuit avec une dignité calme, portée par le va-et-vient des marées et le murmure perpétuel des eaux froides qui lèchent les fondations de cette terre habitée.
