This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Saint-Jacques, 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-Jacques.
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-Jacques is a municipality in Saint-Jacques; Montcalm, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Saint-Jacques is located at 45.9500°N, 73.5667°W.
Saint-Jacques rests upon the quiet, fertile expanse of the Plateau de Terrebonne, where the horizon feels wide and the air carries the crisp, clean scent of turning seasons. It lies 12.6 km south-west of Joliette, QC (from Joliette, QC: bearing 230°T), and is situated 15.0 km south-east of Rawdon. Within this landscape, the Rivière Rouge tracks a steady course some 8 km away, while the distant, hidden stillness of Lac des Cèdres remains 10 km from the local fields. The light here at dusk possesses a singular clarity, pulling long, sharp shadows across the flat earth until the sun dips low enough to bruise the sky in shades of violet and deep amber. Beyond the immediate reach of the village, the land holds a composure that feels ancient, indifferent to the quickening pace of modern life. The history of Saint-Jacques is marked by the industrious spirit of those who first tilled this soil, building a local economy rooted in the strength of the earth and the persistence of its people. Residents often look toward the natural landmarks that define the broader region, noting how the rushing power of Chutes Dorwin lies 14 km away, a reminder of the water’s persistent energy that once turned the wheels of early mills. While the urban bustle of Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville sits 38 km to the south, the daily life of Saint-Jacques finds its own equilibrium in the hum of agricultural machinery and the predictable, seasonal cycle of harvest and growth. There is a particular texture to the afternoons here, when the wind settles against the siding of older buildings, creating a sense of permanence that anchors the residents to their home.
Saint-Jacques s'étire sur le plateau de Terrebonne, là où le sol semble retenir la lumière dorée des fins de journée avec une insistance particulière. Le paysage y déploie ses plaines fertiles, héritage d'une terre labourée par des générations qui ont su faire fructifier les champs sous un ciel vaste. À quelques lieues, la Rivière Rouge poursuit son cours discret, tandis que le Lac des Cèdres offre ses reflets calmes aux voyageurs en quête de silence, loin de l'effervescence urbaine. Plus loin, la puissance sourde des Chutes Dorwin rappelle la force brute de la nature environnante, contrastant avec la sérénité des terres cultivées qui définissent l'identité profonde de Saint-Jacques. Les traditions acadiennes, portées par les familles fondatrices, imprègnent encore aujourd'hui la manière dont on cultive le lien avec le voisinage et la terre. La vie quotidienne ici suit le rythme lent des travaux agricoles, une cadence familière qui se marie aux bruissements des arbres et au souffle du vent sur les vastes étendues du plateau. En se dirigeant vers le sud, le Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville marque une transition vers les horizons plus vastes du fleuve, mais c'est ici, dans la stabilité de ce sol montcalmois, que Saint-Jacques affirme son caractère singulier, entre mémoire des ancêtres et simplicité du quotidien.

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.
