This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Richmond, 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 Richmond.
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.

Richmond is a town in Richmond; Le Val-Saint-François, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Richmond is located at 45.6655°N, 72.1472°W.
Richmond rests within the Colline McArthur, a landscape defined by the persistent, southward flow of the Rivière Saint-François. It lies 20.4 km south-west of Val-des-Sources, QC (from Val-des-Sources, QC: bearing 233°T), and is situated 15.4 km north-west of Windsor. The air here holds a crisp, earthen clarity that lingers long after the sun dips behind the rising terrain, casting long shadows that emphasize the contours of the valley. To the nearby north, the quiet presence of Lac Lebeau provides a reflective stillness to the surroundings, while the distant, rugged silhouettes within Parc national du Mont-Orford ground the horizon in deep shades of green and blue. The water of the Rivière Saint-François carries a steady, resonant hum, shaping the character of the ground it touches and offering a cool respite during the height of the summer heat. The development of Richmond grew from a reliance on the land and the strategic utility of its waterway, which long served as a vital artery for early industry and local trade. Residents mark the turning of the seasons by the changing light upon the fields and the seasonal vigor of the river, a cycle that persists even as modern commerce and local traditions evolve. The rugged power of the Chutes à Kendall remains a notable feature of the wider region, reminding those who visit of the raw, kinetic energy that once drove the mills and enterprises of the nineteenth century. Life in Richmond maintains a steady, deliberate pace, where the legacy of its founders is found in the sturdy architecture of the older streets and the enduring connection between the people and the valley floor.
Richmond s'étire avec une noblesse tranquille sur les pentes de la Colline McArthur, observant les eaux sombres de la Rivière Saint-François qui tracent leur chemin immuable à travers le relief. Ce paysage, marqué par des ondulations douces et une terre généreuse, porte en lui les vestiges d'une vocation agricole et industrielle qui a façonné le caractère résolu de ses habitants. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Lebeau miroite dans le silence des sous-bois, tandis que la puissance sourde des Chutes à Kendall rappelle la force vive des courants qui ont autrefois actionné les rouages du progrès local. Le regard, porté vers l'horizon, devine la silhouette plus lointaine du Parc national du Mont-Orford, dont la présence impose une solennité naturelle aux terres environnantes. Richmond cultive une esthétique de la persévérance, où le crépuscule dépose une lumière cuivrée sur les façades de briques et les toitures anciennes, révélant la texture d'un patrimoine bâti avec soin. La vie quotidienne y suit le rythme lent des saisons agricoles et le souffle des brises qui descendent des hauteurs, créant une atmosphère où la simplicité des gestes quotidiens se marie à une histoire profondément enracinée dans le sol québécois. Les gens y vivent en une harmonie discrète avec ce cadre géographique imposant, préservant une identité singulière qui refuse de se laisser effacer par l'agitation du monde moderne.

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.
