Quebec City Map Art

Quebec City's street grid breaks against the Saint Lawrence River, with the Old City clustered on a peninsula bounded by the river to the east and the Saint-Charles River to the north. Steep terrain forces the street pattern into tight, organic blocks in the historic core, while the modern grid spreads methodically across the plateau to the west. The Montmorency Falls drop sharply just north of the city limits, marking the edge where the Canadian Shield rises above the river plain.
