Since July 2, 1989, the Commission de toponymie de Québec officially designated the bridge over the Kamouraska river on highway 132 the "Pont Pierre Micheau".  The list of Michauds who gave their name to geographical places in Quebec is rather significant  : 52 place names, hydrographic especially.  Here is the enumeration :

In addition to its Pierre-Micheau Bridge, the Kamouraska region has four Michaud rivers : at Saint-Onésime, at Rivière-Ouelle, at Saint-Joseph and in the village of Kamouraska.  In Témiscouata - Rivière-du-Loup, runs the Michaud Branch at Notre-Dame-du-Portage and at Saint-Michel-du-Squatec.  In the l'Islet county, a Michaud Point is located at Saint-Roch-des-Aulnaies.  In the Rimouski region, the Michaud Branch is an agricultural river near Fleuriault as well as the Michaud Lake.  The Michaud Mountain, in the Bic park, certainly reminds the family of Philippe Michaud once settled there.  At Matane, the Michaud Branch is an agricultural river in Grand-Métis; there is also a Michaud Bridge at Saint-Jérôme de Matane.  In Matapédia region, there are a Michaud Lake at Saint-Noël and the Michaud Brook at Lake Matapédia.  In the Bonaventure county, the Michaud Brook in the municipality of Nouvelle and, near Gaspé, the Michaud Brook at Mont-Albert.   Who knows the Michaud at Foresville to whom the city gave the name to the Michaud River?

The municipality of Les Escoumins named the Michaud Lake known as the Bonhomme-Michaud. Who was he ?  Four other lakes in the Saguenay area bear the name Michaud : they are in the localities of Forestville, of Lac-au-Brochet, of Rivière-aux-Outardes and of Lac-Jérôme;  one also reports a Michaud River in the last place.  In the Lac Saint-Jean area, three Michaud lakes : at Rivière Mistassini, at Chûtes-des-Passes and at Lac-Ashuapmushuan. At Chicoutimi, one notices the Michaud River;  at Mont-Valin, it is the Michaud Lake.

In the Témiscamingue region, Rollet has an agricultural river Michaud.  In Abitibi, Michauds are also present : two  agricultural rivers Michaud, one at Poulariès and the other at Rivière-Ojima.  One finds a Michaud Junction at Saint-Dominique-du-Rosaire, a Michaud Brook at Belcourt and another Michaud Brook at Matchi-Manitou. The Michaud Lake, close to Nilgault Lake, is located in the county of Pontiac.  In the Labelle county, three Michaud lakes and two lakes bear the name Michaudville.  Te first three are located at Lac-Ernest, at Des-Ruisseaux and at Mont-Saint-Michel.  Those of Michaudville are in Marchand and L'Ascension.

The Maskinongé area has a Michaud Lake at Baie-de-la-Bouteille, and a Small Lake Michaud at Baie-Atibenne.  In Berthier, another Michaud Lake at Lac-Mattawin.  At Drummondville, the Michaud park probably bears the name of a former municipal magistrate and contractor-general, Mr J.-Adélard Michaud.  Saint-Hyacinthe honours the Michaudville by the name of a village at Saint-Bernard just as a post office.   Champlain county has a Michaud Lake at Rivière-Windigo.  At Montmorency, near lake Jacques-Cartier, one notes a Michaud Lake.

    You can still find the name Michaud across the American map, marking their wanderings in places from Nova Scotia to Louisiana and Idaho, and especially to Maine, where the name remains in places like Michaud Farm and the Michaud Tote Road in the Allagash, Michaud Island in the St. John River, and Michaud Hill near the town of Daigle on Eagle Lake.   Elsewhere in the United States, one finds in Michigan a Michaud Lake just as another Michaud Lake in Minnesota.  Who would think of finding as far as in Idaho a Michaud Flats, a locality named Michaud and a Michaud Creek ?

    The U.S. Directory of Michaud Families lists over 5 600 households in the United States.  These figures have been extracted from various national sources as telephone listings, automobile registrations, election rolls and other public records.  This information is updated annually in order to maintain the most current resident records available.  Here is the statement for the year 1997 :
