How to Use This Groton Long Point, Connecticut Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Groton Long Point, 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 Groton Long Point.

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.

Groton Long Point extends as a narrow, salt-sprayed finger of land reaching into the shifting blue of the coastal horizon. It lies 5.5 miles east-southeast of New London, CT (from New London, CT: bearing 121°T), and is situated 4.4 miles southeast of Groton. The landscape is defined by the sharp, saline bite of the air and the rhythmic pull of the tides that wash against the jagged edges of the shore. To the west, the quiet expanse of West Harbor catches the low, golden light of late afternoon, while the subtle elevation of Fort Hill looms two miles distant, a silent sentinel over the salt marshes. A short distance away, the dark, still waters of Mouse Island break the surface of the sound, and the steady, unseen pulse of Fort Hill Brook drains toward the coast, carving a subtle path through the earth. In the quiet corners of Harbor Park, the wind moves through the dune grass with a dry, papery sound, grounding the geography in a stark, elemental stillness.

Groton Long Point maintains a distinct character forged by generations of maritime influence and the slow accumulation of seasonal residency. The architecture reflects a deep-seated preference for endurance, with weathered shingles and sturdy foundations that have long withstood the seasonal gales sweeping in from the water. While the economy has transitioned from its early maritime roots to a rhythm defined by the summer months, the area retains a sense of permanence that defies the transient nature of the tide. Residents and visitors alike navigate the narrow lanes with an awareness of the deeper landscape, often looking toward the distant, hazy rise of the terrain or the three-mile-distant surface of Beach Pond when seeking the stillness of inland water. Even the presence of Dark Hollow, miles away in the interior, serves as a reminder of the varied topography that underscores the coastal life of Groton Long Point, where every structure and stone wall feels purposefully aligned against the vast, open reach of the sky.
