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

Roxton is a township municipality in Roxton; Acton, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Roxton is located at 45.5500°N, 72.5167°W.
Roxton rests along the banks of the Rivière Noire, a settlement defined by the quiet persistence of the water as it moves toward the Colline Davidson. It lies 23.2 km north-east of Granby, QC (from Granby, QC: bearing 44°T), and is situated 11.5 km south-south-east of Acton Vale. The horizon here is marked by the subtle rise of the land, where the light at dusk catches the edges of the fields and turns the grass into a pale, shifting silver. Nearby, the presence of the Chutes de Roxton Falls introduces a constant, low-frequency hum to the environment, a reminder of the force that once drove the local mills. While the expansive silence of the region is punctuated by the seasonal migration of birds, the air carries a crisp, clean clarity that settles over the low-lying terrain like a fine veil. The history of Roxton remains tied to the capacity of its people to draw utility from the currents of the Rivière Noire and the surrounding earth. Agriculture has long defined the local economy, with barns and silos standing as sturdy, practical landmarks against the sky. Life in Roxton follows the turning of the seasons, moving from the quiet preparation of the soil in spring to the harvest’s heavy yield, yet there is always time to acknowledge the beauty of the nearby Parc national de la Yamaska or the reflective surfaces of Lac Roxton. The character of the people here is shaped by a deep familiarity with the land, a shared knowledge of how the frost behaves in the hollows and how the wind behaves when it crests the Colline Davidson.
Roxton s’étire sur un relief doucement vallonné, là où la lumière décline avec une lenteur solennelle sur la Colline Davidson. Le courant de la Rivière Noire dicte le rythme de ces terres agricoles, charriant les reflets argentés d’un ciel souvent immense, tandis que le souvenir des Chutes de Roxton Falls résonne comme une plainte sourde dans le silence de la plaine. À quelques encablures, le Lac Roxton dort dans une immobilité minérale, observant la patience des hommes qui ont bâti Roxton sur cette glaise fertile. Au-delà des terres cultivées, la proximité du Parc national de la Yamaska impose une présence boisée, une frontière naturelle où les ombres s’allongent dès que le soleil bascule derrière les crêtes. Ici, l’existence se mesure à la patience du labour et au grondement intermittent des eaux, des forces qui ont modelé une identité tournée vers la terre et les saisons. La rudesse du climat forge une droiture particulière chez ceux qui habitent ces parages, cultivant une relation intime avec la topographie austère. Dans cette étendue, chaque champ labouré et chaque boisé conservent une mémoire silencieuse, celle d’une vie domestiquée par la rigueur du terrain et la permanence indéfectible des éléments naturels environnants.

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.
