Explore Fenwick, 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 Fenwick, 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 Fenwick.
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.

Fenwick rises from the low, tidal margins of the coast, where the air holds a persistent, briny weight that softens the edges of the horizon. It lies 14.4 miles west-southwest of New London, CT (from New London, CT: bearing 246°T), and is situated 9.0 miles east of Clinton. Salt-sprayed grasses fringe the shifting perimeter of Fenwick Beach, their blades bowing before the steady, rhythmic push of the tide that travels from the distant reaches of Gardiners Bay. Inland, the terrain rises toward the modest, rounded prominence of Beacon Hill, while the dark, brackish waters of Beamon Creek meander through the marshland, carving silent paths toward the sea. Beyond the immediate reach of the shoreline, the landscape opens into the expansive, low-lying expanse of Great Meadow, and the quiet, still surface of Cranberry Pond reflects the changing sky, offering a muted contrast to the restless motion of the coast.
Fenwick carries the quiet gravity of a place defined by its long-standing relationship with the water, marked by the weathered stone walls that trace the boundaries of older, settled estates. The local economy and character remain tethered to this legacy of maritime influence, where the pace of life follows the seasonal shifts of the harbor rather than the clamor of modern industry. While the presence of Poverty Island looms as a solitary, unpopulated silhouette against the water, the human activity in Fenwick centers on the careful preservation of its colonial-era architecture and the quiet maintenance of its coastal heritage. Residents move through the day with a deliberate, measured grace, observing the way the afternoon light catches the salt-crusted shingles of the houses, a quiet acknowledgement of a history that remains deeply embedded in the physical fiber of the land.

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.
