This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Saint-Albert, 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 Saint-Albert.
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.

Saint-Albert is a municipality in Saint-Albert; Arthabaska, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Saint-Albert is located at 46.0012°N, 72.0888°W.
Saint-Albert rests amidst the quiet breadth of the Arthabaska region, where the land holds the soft, lingering light of the afternoon against the rising slope of the Colline Pine. It lies 11.6 km west-south-west of Victoriaville, QC (from Victoriaville, QC: bearing 239°T), and is situated 16.0 km north of Kingsey Falls. The Rivière Nicolet flows through the heart of Saint-Albert, its currents carving a path that defines the daily movement of the fields and the slow turning of the seasons. Beyond the immediate reach of the village, the basin opens toward the horizon, while the waters of Lac des Cyprès sit ten kilometers away, a still presence in the broader silence of the terrain. The air here tastes of damp earth and cooling stone, carrying a clarity that sharpens the edges of the barns and silos standing against the darkening sky. Saint-Albert traces its lineage to the labor of those who cleared the timber to make way for the furrows of the farmstead. The local economy persists in a steady dialogue with the soil, sustained by agricultural traditions that have persisted through the generations. While the pace of life maintains a deliberate focus on the harvest and the seasonal maintenance of the land, the presence of the Rivière Nicolet continues to influence the layout of the roads and the orientation of the buildings. Saint-Albert remains a locality defined by its grounded connection to the river and the surrounding fields, where the work of the day concludes with the long, cooling shadows cast by the Colline Pine.
Saint-Albert s'étire avec une patience tranquille sur les terres basses d'Arthabaska, là où le sol semble retenir la mémoire des défrichements anciens. Le regard porte loin vers la Colline Pine, dont la silhouette familière domine l'horizon et offre un repère immuable aux habitants. À proximité, les eaux de la Rivière Nicolet tracent un ruban sinueux dans la plaine, imprégnant l'air d'une fraîcheur humide qui s'intensifie à mesure que le jour décline. Le Lac des Cyprès, niché à une dizaine de kilomètres, ajoute une note de silence à cette géographie où l'agriculture dicte encore le rythme des journées. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les champs, révélant la texture d'un terrain façonné par une longue tradition de labeur agricole. Saint-Albert conserve cette allure de persévérance, portée par une identité qui se nourrit de la terre généreuse et du voisinage des eaux. Ici, le ciel semble plus vaste, s'ouvrant largement au-dessus des fermes et des rangs, invitant à une contemplation simple des éléments. Chaque parcelle de terrain raconte la continuité d'un mode de vie lié aux saisons, sans artifice, dans le calme d'un paysage qui se suffit à lui-même.

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.
