Explore Bigelow Corners, Connecticut, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Bigelow Corners, Connecticut. 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. Drag the map to pan to any area of Connecticut or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, 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 official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Bigelow Corners.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), 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.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams 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.

Bigelow Corners occupies a landscape defined by the persistent, winding course of Ball Pond Brook as it cuts through the dense, verdant terrain. It lies 5.9 miles north-northwest of Danbury, CT (from Danbury, CT: bearing 334°T), and is situated 9.5 miles east-northeast of Carmel. The ground here rises toward the slopes of Titicus Mountain, creating a topography of sharp elevations and deep, shadow-filled basins that hold the cool morning air long after the sun has climbed high. A mile away, the surface of Margerie Lake Reservoir mirrors the passing clouds, its quiet expanse serving as a silent anchor for the surrounding woodland. The earth is dense with heavy soil and loose stone, where second-growth forests reclaim the boundaries of long-forgotten pastures, and the light at dusk takes on a thin, bruised violet quality that illuminates the jagged edges of the local bedrock.
Agriculture and the slow, steady pulse of small-scale commerce have historically shaped the character of Bigelow Corners, replacing the early labor of clearing the land with a modern, quieter industry. The proximity to the Hidden Valley Nature Center provides a permanent buffer of preserved wilderness, ensuring that the rhythm of the day remains dictated by the shifting seasons rather than the pace of distant urban centers. Locals move through the week with a deliberate focus, mindful of the rugged geography that limits sprawl and maintains a sense of physical isolation. Whether traversing the nearby Candlewood Trail or managing the upkeep of older, sturdy structures, the people here maintain a connection to a landscape that resists easy modification, favoring a life that moves in sync with the brooks and the cooling drafts descending from the higher ground.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG 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 is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
