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

Tanguay is a hamlet in Dixville; Coaticook, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Tanguay is located at 45.0528°N, 71.7103°W.
Tanguay rests within the quiet embrace of the Colline Spring, where the land rises in modest, verdant swells above the Rivière Coaticook. It lies 11.7 km south-east of Coaticook, QC (from Coaticook, QC: bearing 141°T), and is situated 4.9 km east-south-east of Dixville. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity, often catching the amber light of late afternoon as it filters through the dense canopy of the surrounding woods. Nearby, the presence of Chutes Cushing introduces a steady, rhythmic pulse to the landscape, a sound that lingers in the humid stillness of summer evenings. Within this terrain, the water of the Rivière Coaticook carves a path through the earth, shaping a quiet geography where the stillness is only broken by the occasional call of a bird or the shifting of leaves. The history of Tanguay reflects the persistent character of those who settled along the banks of the Rivière Coaticook to work the fertile soil and harness the power of the local waterways. Life in Tanguay moves with a purposeful focus on the land, where the seasonal cycles dictate the pace of daily labor and community activity. Only a few kilometers away, the quiet basin of Lac Rémillard provides a contrast to the flowing currents nearby, offering a sense of stability to the region. The people of the area maintain a steady connection to the heritage of the valley, honoring the traditions of agriculture and craftsmanship that have long defined the character of the hillside and the river.
Tanguay déploie ses terres sur les pentes douces de la Colline Spring, où la terre fertile semble retenir la chaleur du jour bien après que le soleil a décliné sur les horizons de l'Estrie. Les eaux de la Rivière Coaticook s'écoulent avec une lenteur solennelle à travers ce relief vallonné, façonnant un paysage façonné par une longue tradition agricole qui a su apprivoiser la rigueur du climat continental. À quelques kilomètres, le tumulte discret des Chutes Cushing rappelle la force tranquille du courant, tandis que le Lac Rémillard, blotti dans les terres, offre un miroir immobile aux arbres clairsemés qui ponctuent les pâturages. L'atmosphère ici possède cette densité particulière propre aux terres de frontière, où le labeur des premiers défricheurs a laissé place à une vie quotidienne rythmée par la rudesse des hivers et la générosité des récoltes. Les bâtisses de Tanguay, humbles et solides, semblent s'accorder avec la topographie des lieux, cultivant une simplicité qui se transmet de génération en génération. Dans le silence du crépuscule, l'air devient vif, chargé de l'humidité montante de la Rivière Coaticook, et le visiteur perçoit alors toute la permanence de ce territoire qui refuse les artifices pour mieux se livrer à ceux qui savent observer la patience de ses horizons.
