This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Valois, 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).
Drag the map to pan to any area of Quebec or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Valois and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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 Valois.
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.

Valois is a station in Pointe-Claire; Montréal, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Valois is located at 45.4497°N, 73.7917°W.
Valois stands as a quiet sentinel upon the northern shore of Lac Saint-Louis, where the horizon broadens to accommodate the expansive, silvered movements of the water. It lies 19.7 km west-south-west of Montréal, QC (from Montréal, QC: bearing 251°T), and is situated 11.9 km south-south-west of Laval. The terrain here maintains a modest elevation, marked by the presence of Le Tertre, which offers a subtle vantage point over the residential streets and the nearby rail corridor. In the cooling light of late afternoon, the air takes on a crisp, lake-tempered clarity, catching the edges of the trees and casting long, precise shadows that define the stillness of the neighborhood. While the Rivière Châteauguay flows some 6 km away and the distance to Chutes Saint-Louis measures 17 km, the immediate environment remains defined by the persistent, heavy presence of the lake, which dictates the cooling breeze and the shifting colors of the sky. The identity of Valois developed largely through the expansion of Pointe-Claire, growing from its roots as a pastoral fringe into a residential enclave that values its proximity to the water. Parc national d'Oka, situated 18 km distant, serves as a natural counterpoint to the suburban gardens and established homes that characterize the streets. Daily life in Valois moves with a focused, deliberate energy, supported by local commerce and the steady passage of commuters who rely on the historic rail connection that once anchored the development of the district. Whether one observes the morning light striking the slate roofs or the way the evening mist rises from the dark surface of Lac Saint-Louis, the character of Valois persists as a deliberate balance between the convenience of the modern corridor and the ancient, unchanging pull of the shoreline.
Valois se déploie avec une retenue tranquille sur les rives du Lac Saint-Louis, là où le terrain s'incline doucement vers les eaux vastes et changeantes. En ce lieu, la lumière du crépuscule s'étire sur les façades, révélant une architecture qui puise sa force dans une histoire de terre agricole transformée par le passage incessant des trains et le souffle du progrès industriel. Le vent apporte parfois l'écho lointain de la Rivière Châteauguay, tandis que la proximité du Tertre offre une légère élévation, un repli protecteur contre les caprices du ciel. Valois conserve une allure de quiétude, rythmée par le mouvement des passants qui habitent ces rues bordées d'arbres matures, témoins silencieux d'une époque où le labeur marquait le pas des jours. Si l'on scrute l'horizon vers le nord, le souvenir des Chutes Saint-Louis ou la silhouette boisée du Parc national d'Oka semblent prolonger le paysage bien au-delà des limites immédiates du quartier. Chaque angle de rue, chaque jardin soigné, rappelle une appartenance profonde à ce sol, une manière d'être qui refuse l'agitation stérile pour privilégier le calme des berges. Il existe ici une respiration lente, une fidélité aux lieux qui définit Valois comme un espace singulier, façonné par la présence constante et impérieuse du Lac Saint-Louis.

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.
