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

Rinfret is a railway junction in Saint-Jérôme; La Rivière-du-Nord, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Rinfret is located at 45.7517°N, 73.9931°W.
Rinfret rests quietly within the embrace of the Colline Lafontaine, a landscape defined by the steady, persistent presence of the Rivière Saint-Antoine. It lies 2.7 km south-south-east of Saint-Jérôme, QC (from Saint-Jérôme, QC: bearing 163°T), and is situated 12.2 km north-west of Blainville. The air here holds a crisp clarity that sharpens the edges of the trees as evening light catches the surface of the water, turning the current into a ribbon of hammered silver. Nearby, the stillness of Lac Lafontaine, situated just 3 km away, provides a counterpoint to the more active flow of the river, while the distant, rushing energy of Chutes de New Glasgow lies 13 km further out. Even at a distance of 30 km, the presence of Parc national d'Oka exerts an influence on the regional character, grounding the horizon in a vast, protected wildness that defines the local sense of space. History in Rinfret often follows the path of the water, where the economy was shaped by the utility of the Rivière Saint-Antoine and the surrounding timbered slopes. The daily life of the people here maintains a connection to the cycles of the seasons, moving with the quiet diligence of those who understand that the land dictates the pace of progress. While industry and modern commerce have moved through the region, the character of Rinfret remains rooted in the practical heritage of its earlier days, when the proximity to the Colline Lafontaine made every harvest or seasonal shift a matter of direct concern. Today, the local identity is found in the simple, enduring architecture and the way the community turns its attention toward the river, finding a steady, predictable comfort in the constant motion of the stream.
Rinfret s'étire avec une tranquille assurance près de la Colline Lafontaine, là où les terres basses accueillent les premières ombres du soir. Le paysage, modelé par les humeurs de la Rivière Saint-Antoine, semble respirer au rythme d'un sol fertile qui a longtemps nourri les espoirs des familles établies sur ces plaines. À trois kilomètres de distance, les eaux dormantes du Lac Lafontaine captent les derniers éclats du jour, offrant un miroir immobile au ciel changeant de la Rivière-du-Nord. Rinfret conserve cette rectitude des lieux façonnés par le labeur, où chaque parcelle de terrain raconte une patience ancienne, loin de l'agitation des grands centres. À treize kilomètres, le fracas lointain des Chutes de New Glasgow ponctue la quiétude des bois environnants, tandis que les vastes étendues du Parc national d'Oka, situées à trente kilomètres, rappellent la grandeur sauvage de la région. Ici, la lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les champs avec une douceur particulière, soulignant la texture brute de la terre et la persistance d'un mode de vie lié aux cycles du climat. Les habitants de Rinfret habitent ce cadre avec une simplicité robuste, trouvant dans la proximité de ces éléments naturels une permanence qui défie les changements brusques du monde moderne.
