Explore Danielson, 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 Danielson, 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 Danielson.
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.

Danielson rests upon a landscape defined by the steady, unceasing passage of the Fivemile River, which cuts a clear path through the terrain as it winds toward the southern horizon. It lies 17.8 miles east-northeast of Willimantic, CT (from Willimantic, CT: bearing 69°T), and is situated 7.9 miles south of Putnam. The land here rises in gentle, earth-bound swells, lifting toward the modest silhouette of Cook Hill, where the light at dusk often turns the scattered hardwoods into a bruised, copper glow. Within the immediate center of the locality, Town Hall Park offers a small, manicured clearing, while the deeper, silent woods of the Lester B Williams Memorial Forest wait only a few miles out. Beyond these defined borders, the earth is marked by the quiet presence of Furnace Pond, its surface holding a mirror to the gray, heavy skies of autumn.
Danielson carries the weight of a long industrial lineage, its brick facades and sturdy, utilitarian architecture speaking to an era when the pulse of the local economy was driven by the rhythmic clatter of textile mills. These structures, now repurposed or left to weather, stand as heavy markers of the labor that once defined the daily existence of the people who settled along the riverbanks. The pace of life retains a deliberate, grounded quality, favoring the stability of the interior landscape over the restless energy of more densely populated corridors. Through the changing seasons, the residents maintain a quiet connection to the geography of the inland plateau, where the stone walls of old farmsteads remain half-buried in the encroaching growth of the surrounding woods.

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.
