This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Rivière-Saint-Jean, 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-Saint-Jean 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-Saint-Jean.
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-Saint-Jean is a municipality in Rivière-Saint-Jean; Minganie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Rivière-Saint-Jean is located at 50.3000°N, 64.3333°W.
Rivière-Saint-Jean rests where the land yields to the expansive waters of the St. Lawrence. It lies 52.7 km west of Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC (from Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC: bearing 277°T), and is situated 14.0 km west-north-west of Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan. The air here holds the sharp, metallic tang of cold salt, and the light at dusk settles over the Rivière Saint-Cœur with a bruised, violet stillness that seems to suspend the very motion of the tide. Near the Coteau Kapikuahenenant, the terrain shifts in rugged, unyielding contours, while the quiet presence of Lac Simillon, resting only a few kilometers inland, mirrors the overcast sky like a dark, polished stone. The landscape possesses a singular, austere beauty, defined by the constant, low-frequency pulse of the river meeting the sea. The history of Rivière-Saint-Jean persists in the quiet endurance of those who have long harvested the bounty of these northern waters. Local life turns upon the seasonal cycles of the coast, where the economy remains tied to the currents and the rugged demands of the maritime environment. Families move through their days with a steady, pragmatic grace, acknowledging the influence of the Rivière Saint-Cœur as it carves its path toward the wider gulf. Even today, the character of Rivière-Saint-Jean draws strength from its isolation, holding fast to a tradition of self-reliance that feels as deep and enduring as the bedrock beneath the shore.
Rivière-Saint-Jean s’étire avec une noblesse tranquille sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l’air salin s’alourdit d’une fraîcheur constante. Le paysage se déploie dans une rigueur minérale, bordé par les eaux de la Rivière Saint-Cœur qui serpentent vers l’estuaire, offrant une lumière nacrée au crépuscule qui semble suspendre le mouvement des marées. À quelques kilomètres dans les terres, le Lac Simillon repose dans un calme absolu, isolant le regard derrière les contreforts boisés. Près de Coteau Kapikuahenenant, la terre garde le souvenir des familles qui ont su lire les courants et dompter les aspérités de ce littoral exigeant pour y bâtir une existence durable. Rivière-Saint-Jean vit au rythme de ces eaux vastes, où l’activité humaine se plie avec respect aux caprices du climat boréal. Les maisons, tournées vers le large, semblent attendre le retour des embarcations dans une patience héritée des ancêtres qui connaissaient chaque repli de la côte. Ici, la nature ne se contemple pas, elle s'éprouve par le vent qui fouette les visages et la solidité des rochers affrontant l'immensité du fleuve. L'identité des habitants se façonne dans ce dialogue permanent avec un horizon qui ne finit jamais, une solitude peuplée de souvenirs maritimes et de labeurs silencieux.

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-Saint-Jean 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.
