This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Rivière-Mauvaise, 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 Rivière-Mauvaise 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 Rivière-Mauvaise.
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.

Rivière-Mauvaise is a resort in Saint-Raymond; Portneuf, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Rivière-Mauvaise is located at 46.9633°N, 71.9108°W.
Rivière-Mauvaise traces a quiet, persistent path through the rugged terrain of Saint-Raymond, finding its origin near the slopes of Mont Laura-Plamondon. It lies 34.9 km north-north-west of Donnacona, QC (from Donnacona, QC: bearing 338°T), and is situated 10.0 km north-west of Saint-Raymond. The water eventually finds its way into the Rivière Cachée, a flow that dictates the character of the surrounding woods where the light at dusk turns the bark of hardwoods into shades of bruised plum and charcoal. Within a few kilometers, the landscape shifts toward the stillness of Lac Morasse, while the distant, rushing presence of Chutes Ford serves as a constant, low-frequency pulse against the horizon. Historically, Rivière-Mauvaise has served as a silent witness to the forestry and agricultural shifts that define the Portneuf region, where the labor of generations has been applied to the stubborn, rocky soil. Life here maintains a deliberate pace, centered on the seasonal transition of the timber harvest and the maintenance of the land that supports the local economy. There is a particular clarity to the air in this corner of Quebec, a crispness that sharpens the edges of the hills and makes the winter silence feel heavy and deliberate. Even as modern industry touches the fringe of the forest, the people of Rivière-Mauvaise hold to a quiet tradition of stewardship, ensuring that the water and the mountain slopes remain the defining features of their daily existence.
Rivière-Mauvaise s'étire avec une patience minérale sous l'ombre portée du Mont Laura-Plamondon, là où les terres de Portneuf conservent une rudesse héritée des anciens défrichements. Le courant de la Rivière Cachée sculpte le relief en serpentant avec une régularité sourde, ses eaux brunes charriant les reflets changeants d'un ciel qui semble descendre plus bas que partout ailleurs. Non loin, le Lac Morasse retient dans son miroir immobile les premières teintes du crépuscule, tandis que la rumeur lointaine des Chutes Ford murmure une cadence perpétuelle aux habitants qui cultivent ces sols ingrats. La vie à Rivière-Mauvaise se définit par une économie de gestes simples, une frugalité imposée par la rocaille et le climat, où chaque famille entretient le souvenir de labeurs oubliés dans les clairières alentour. L'air y possède une texture de givre précoce, une fraîcheur qui saisit la gorge et rappelle la proximité immédiate de la forêt boréale. Entre la courbe de la rivière et le versant escarpé des hauteurs, Rivière-Mauvaise persiste comme un îlot de sédentarité, un espace où la terre et l'eau dictent un rythme quotidien dénué de fioritures, fidèle à la rigueur silencieuse de cette partie du Québec.

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. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data for Rivière-Mauvaise is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
