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

Rimouski is a post office in Rimouski; Rimouski-Neigette, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Rimouski is located at 48.4503°N, 68.5267°W.
Rimouski rests where the land bows toward the vast, salt-heavy expanse of the St. Lawrence, its character defined by the cold breath of the tides and the steady pulse of the Rivière Rimouski as it finds the sea. It lies 29.0 km west-south-west of Mont-Joli, QC (from Mont-Joli, QC: bearing 239°T), and is situated 15.3 km south-west of Sainte-Luce. The horizon toward the Le Mondrain offers a firm, earthen boundary to the view, while the light at dusk turns the water into a sheet of hammered pewter, cooling the air until it tastes of minerals and distance. Life here carries the stillness of the north, punctuated by the quiet arrival of Petit lac des Joncs, tucked away like a hidden basin in the landscape just five kilometers from the core. Beyond the immediate reach of the streets, the rugged edges of Parc national du Bic stand twenty-two kilometers away, preserving a wilder, more jagged version of the coast that locals hold in quiet reverence. Rimouski emerged from the necessity of the river, growing from a modest settlement into a focal point for maritime study and regional commerce. The economy draws strength from the sea and the intellect, hosting institutions that scan the depths of the St. Lawrence while the local industry processes the yields of the surrounding terrain. History lingers in the architecture of the older quarters, where the salt air has weathered the stone and wood over generations of winters. The people of Rimouski move through their days with a deliberate grace, accustomed to the seasonal shifts that dictate the pace of life, from the frantic renewal of spring to the long, muffled silence of the snow. Whether one is watching the ships navigate the channel or observing the way the wind bends the coastal grasses, Rimouski maintains a distinct, solitary composure.
Rimouski s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l'air marin apporte un souffle salin qui sculpte la persistance des hommes face aux grands espaces. Le courant de la Rivière Rimouski traverse ce sol forgé par l'agriculture et les activités maritimes, guidant le regard vers les ondulations du Mondrain qui marquent l'horizon. La lumière déclinante du soir teinte le ciel d'une pâleur argentée, révélant la silhouette robuste des bâtiments qui rappellent une longue tradition de labeur et de résilience. À quelques kilomètres, le Petit lac des Joncs offre un repli paisible, tandis que les paysages plus sauvages du Parc national du Bic, situés à vingt-deux kilomètres, rappellent la force brute d'une nature indomptable. Rimouski maintient un équilibre singulier entre son identité de port tourné vers le large et sa vocation de savoir, portée par une vie intellectuelle qui s'épanouit dans ce climat rigoureux. Les habitants y cultivent un attachement profond pour ces terres où chaque geste quotidien se mesure à l'immensité du fleuve. L'histoire demeure présente dans le rythme des marées, imposant une patience nécessaire pour qui choisit de bâtir sa vie sur ces rivages où la terre rencontre enfin l'infini des eaux.
