Partially answering my own question :

A city map of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, from the city itself, is
available online here :
http://www.ville.saint-jean-sur-richelieu.qc.ca/web/doc/Carteroutiere-2007824103123.pdf

It includes missing street names from the affected area.

I assume this is public information.

Hopefully, similar maps exist for other affected towns.
