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

View Point is a residential area in Sherbrooke; Estrie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. View Point is located at 45.3653°N, 71.8489°W.
View Point emerges from the rugged rise of the Colline Haskell, standing as a quiet observer above the steady, dark currents of the Rivière Saint-François. It lies 5.5 km south-east of Sherbrooke, QC (from Sherbrooke, QC: bearing 141°T), and is situated 10.2 km north-north-east of Waterville. The land here holds a distinct, mineral coolness, where the elevation captures a quality of light that seems to linger long after the sun has dipped below the horizon, sharpening the edges of the trees against the evening sky. Within this expanse, the presence of the Rivière Saint-François acts as a steady pulse, carving a path through the terrain and lending a resonant, metallic crispness to the air that defines the atmosphere of the Colline Haskell. View Point persists as a site of quiet continuity, shaped by the industrious character of a region that has long looked toward the water and the rising slopes for its livelihood. While the economic life of the surrounding districts often draws from the academic energy of nearby institutions, View Point remains grounded in the physical reality of its geography, far removed from the bustle of Lac des Nations, Les Cascades, or the distant reaches of Parc national du Mont-Orford. The inhabitants move with a purposeful intention, mirroring the way the river persists through the seasons, indifferent to the shifting trends of the world beyond the hills. In the quiet moments of the day, one can sense the weight of the geology beneath, a reminder that the character of View Point is built upon the solid, ancient stone of the Estrie landscape.
View Point s'élève avec une discrétion altière sur les flancs de la Colline Haskell, dominant les méandres de la Rivière Saint-François qui trace son chemin entre les terres fertiles de l'Estrie. Ici, la lumière du crépuscule s'étire sur les pentes, révélant une topographie travaillée par les glaces anciennes, où chaque parcelle de terrain semble retenir une part du silence matinal. À quelques lieues de là, la présence du Lac des Nations apporte une respiration différente au paysage, tandis que le souvenir des Cascades et la silhouette lointaine du Parc national du Mont-Orford structurent l'horizon de View Point. Les habitants entretiennent une relation intime avec ces reliefs, cultivant une mémoire faite de labeur agricole et de patience. La clarté de l'air y est saisissante, chargée de l'humidité vive qui monte du lit fluvial, transformant les soirées en une expérience sensorielle où le froid et la chaleur se disputent la primauté. Cette géographie particulière impose son rythme, une cadence lente qui définit le quotidien des hommes et des femmes habitués à lire le ciel et le mouvement des eaux. En observant la Colline Haskell sous le ciel changeant, View Point révèle une beauté austère, presque impérieuse, affirmant sa place dans cette terre québécoise sans artifice ni détour.

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.
