This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Rivière-la-Madeleine, 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 Rivière-la-Madeleine.
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-la-Madeleine is a hamlet in Sainte-Madeleine-de-la-Rivière-Madeleine; La Haute-Gaspésie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Rivière-la-Madeleine is located at 49.2392°N, 65.3022°W.
Rivière-la-Madeleine clings to the rugged northern edge of the Gaspé Peninsula, where the land drops abruptly into the St. Lawrence. It lies 34.1 km north-north-east of Murdochville, QC (from Murdochville, QC: bearing 24°T), and is situated 13.0 km west of Grande-Vallée. The terrain is dominated by the looming presence of the Montagne de la Citadelle, which stands as a silent sentinel over the houses huddled along the shore. Near the mouth of the Rivière Madeleine, the air carries a sharp, saline tang, and the light at dusk often turns the water into a sheet of hammered pewter, cold and restless against the rocks. Inland, the landscape shifts into dense, quiet timberland, where Lac de l'Épinette Rouge hides among the evergreens like a dark, forgotten eye reflecting the changing sky. History in Rivière-la-Madeleine is measured by the tide and the seasonal arrival of the catch, reflecting a long-standing reliance on the bounty of the deep waters. The local economy has historically turned on the gears of forestry and commercial fishing, trades that demand a stoic endurance from those who work the docks and the timber lots. Life here moves with a deliberate gravity, shaped by the cyclical demands of a northern climate that can turn a morning of brilliant clarity into a gale by nightfall. Despite the modernization of these industries, the character of Rivière-la-Madeleine persists in the quiet rituals of its people, who maintain a steady watch over the horizon, attuned to the shifting moods of the St. Lawrence.
Rivière-la-Madeleine s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le ressac vient lécher les galets dans un murmure incessant. Dominé par la silhouette imposante de la Montagne de la Citadelle, le paysage respire une rudesse salée qui sculpte les visages autant que les falaises. Les eaux vives de la Rivière Madeleine, qui traversent ce sol escarpé, dictent depuis longtemps le rythme des activités humaines, mêlant le labeur des pêcheurs aux souvenirs lointains des premiers établissements. À seulement trois kilomètres de là, le Lac de l’Épinette Rouge dissimule ses reflets sombres dans le creux des terres, offrant un contraste de quiétude forestière à l’immensité marine qui s’ouvre devant Rivière-la-Madeleine. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une épaisseur particulière, une clarté bleutée qui semble suspendre le monde entre les crêtes rocheuses et le mouvement perpétuel des marées. Ici, le quotidien se mesure aux sautes d’humeur du vent et à la ténacité de ceux qui ont choisi de bâtir leur existence face à l’horizon immense. La terre, parfois avare, récompense ceux qui acceptent sa rigueur, offrant une existence dépouillée de superflus, où chaque saison laisse sa marque sur le granit et sur les âmes.

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.
