This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Rapide-Deux, 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 Rapide-Deux.
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.

Rapide-Deux is a hamlet in Rouyn-Noranda; Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Rapide-Deux is located at 47.9361°N, 78.5722°W.
Rapide-Deux sits anchored along the steady, persistent flow of the Ottawa River, where the northern landscape opens into a vast, rugged expanse of forest and stone. It lies 39.9 km south-west of Malartic, QC (from Malartic, QC: bearing 236°T), and is situated 27.5 km north-north-east of Boom Camp. The water moves with a deliberate weight, shaping the character of Rapide-Deux as it carries the chill of the Canadian Shield through the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region. Nearby, the stillness of Lac Magique provides a quiet contrast to the river, its surface often mirroring the pale, transient light that defines dusk in these northern latitudes. The air here holds a crisp, bracing clarity, carrying the scent of pine and damp earth across the terrain. The history of Rapide-Deux is tied to the industrial pulse of the Ottawa River, reflecting a legacy of resource development that once defined the economic life of Rouyn-Noranda. While the modern pace is measured and quiet, the locality remains marked by the infrastructure of earlier eras, where the movement of water and the extraction of timber fueled local growth. Today, the residents of Rapide-Deux maintain a life grounded in the seasonal shifts of the environment, respecting a heritage that values endurance and hard work. The presence of the river continues to anchor the daily experience, providing a constant, low-frequency sound that persists through the changing seasons.
Rapide-Deux s’étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les rives de la rivière Ottawa, là où le sol de l’Abitibi-Témiscamingue semble retenir encore le souvenir des forêts anciennes. La lumière du crépuscule s'y dépose avec une douceur particulière, teintant l'eau de reflets cuivrés qui semblent ralentir le cours même des heures. À peine à deux kilomètres de là, le Lac Magique attend dans un silence minéral, offrant une présence calme à ce territoire façonné par une rudesse climatique qui exige des habitants une vigilance constante. Rapide-Deux porte en ses terres la mémoire d'un labeur acharné, celui des pionniers ayant domestiqué ces espaces vastes pour y établir des racines durables. Les vents qui balayent la plaine apportent une odeur de terre humide et de résineux, rappelant la proximité constante de la nature sauvage. La vie quotidienne ici se rythme selon les impétuosités de la rivière Ottawa et les besoins d'une terre qui ne livre ses richesses qu'à ceux qui savent l'écouter. Dans cet horizon où le ciel domine, chaque demeure semble veiller sur une part de cette histoire locale, protégeant avec une discrétion farouche la simplicité d'une existence en harmonie avec les éléments environnants.
