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

Waco is a hamlet in Rivière-Nipissis; Sept-Rivières, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Waco is located at 51.4350°N, 65.6222°W.
Waco sits quietly along the banks of the Rivière Wacouno, cradled by the rugged, ancient terrain of the Canadian Shield. It lies 146.4 km north-north-east of Sept-Îles, QC (from Sept-Îles, QC: bearing 21°T). The water of the Rivière Wacouno moves with a deliberate, dark clarity, reflecting the dense spruce stands that crowd its edges and hold the morning mist until long after dawn. Nearby, Lac Tremblay rests in a hollow of granite and muskeg, its surface often mirroring the vast, unblinking sky of the north. The air here carries a sharp, metallic clarity, a cold breath that reminds one of the immense distances between the scattered outposts of the Sept-Rivières region. In the late afternoon, the light turns a bruised, translucent violet, highlighting the mossy textures of the rocky ground and the patient, upright posture of the black spruce. Waco remains a waypoint defined by the passage of the river and the labor required to navigate such a demanding wilderness. The local economy has long been shaped by the necessity of moving resources through this demanding topography, with the Rivière Wacouno serving as a primary artery for those who work the land. Life in Waco follows the demands of the seasons, where the transition from the deep, insulating silence of winter to the sudden, rushing vitality of the spring thaw dictates the cycle of activity. The presence of the forest and the proximity of Lac Tremblay anchor the identity of Waco, grounding the lives of those who pass through in the physical reality of the water and the stone.
Waco déploie ses installations sur les rives de la Rivière Wacouno, là où le silence de la forêt boréale semble suspendre le mouvement des heures. Dans ce secteur de la Rivière-Nipissis, la lumière décline avec une lenteur solennelle, venant caresser la surface sombre des eaux qui portent le poids de l’industrie ferroviaire et minière, moteur essentiel de l’existence en ces terres sauvages. À quatre kilomètres de là, le Lac Tremblay demeure une présence immobile, miroir discret d'un ciel souvent chargé de nuages bas qui s'accrochent aux reliefs du terrain. L’air y possède une texture froide, métallique, rappelant aux rares travailleurs et voyageurs que Waco occupe un territoire façonné par la rigueur du climat et la rudesse du bouclier canadien. Les structures de fer et les voies ferrées s'étirent contre l'immensité, marquant le passage de l’homme dans un milieu qui conserve son austérité première. La vie quotidienne, rythmée par le passage des convois, se maintient dans une sobriété exemplaire, loin des agitations du monde, tandis que le vent glisse entre les conifères pour murmurer contre les bâtiments solitaires. Waco demeure ainsi, solitaire et résolue, s'inscrivant dans la géographie brute de la région de Sept-Rivières avec une constance qui défie l'isolement géographique.

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.
Location data for Waco is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
