Explore Dayville, 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 Dayville, 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 Dayville.
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.

Dayville reveals itself through the steady, insistent murmur of the Fivemile River, which carves a path through the landscape with a quiet, persistent gravity. It lies 18.8 miles east of Storrs, CT (from Storrs, CT: bearing 82°T), and is situated 4.9 miles south-southeast of Putnam. The terrain here is defined by a modest, undulating topography, where the rising slope of Breakneck Hill anchors the horizon against the pale, shifting light of the afternoon. In the cooler months, the air holds a crisp, earthen clarity, drawing the eye toward the shadowed edges of the woodland where stone walls trace the property lines of an older era. Just a short distance away, the surface of Crystal Pond catches the sky, acting as a mirror for the surrounding hardwoods that transition into the denser, more secluded reaches of Mashamoquet Brook State Forest. Life in Dayville moves in rhythm with these natural contours, favoring the quietude of open fields and the persistent flow of water over the frantic pace of larger urban centers.
Dayville maintains a character forged by the legacy of New England manufacturing, where the remnants of mills once powered by the river still inform the local sense of place. While the economy has shifted away from the heavy industry of the past, the town retains a grounded, industrious spirit that is visible in the well-maintained brick facades and the utilitarian charm of its residential streets. Owen Bell Park serves as the central gathering point, providing a green, expansive space where the community converges for recreation and local events. Unlike the more congested corridors of the state, Dayville offers a landscape that remains largely defined by its rural roots and the deliberate, slow-turning cycles of the seasons. Residents here navigate a life that prioritizes the stillness of the interior, finding a particular satisfaction in the way the sunlight fades behind the trees, leaving the valley in a cool, hushed gray that settles over the fields long before the stars appear.

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.
