Explore Murray, 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 Murray, 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 Murray.
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.

Murray defines its rugged character through the persistent, low-slung presence of Pavement Hill, a landform that anchors the local topography as the earth rises in quiet, stony swells. It lies 4.6 miles west-northwest of Bridgeport, CT (from Bridgeport, CT: bearing 294°T), and is situated 8.3 miles northeast of Norwalk. Browns Brook cuts a thin, silver vein through the landscape, its waters carving a path toward the distant coast and feeding the damp, dark loam that supports the dense growth nearby. Only a mile away, the protected expanse of Centennial Watershed State Forest stretches out in a silent, green reach, offering a sanctuary where the canopy filters the sunlight into pale, shifting patterns across the forest floor. Beyond these woods, the stillness of Hemlock Reservoir holds the reflection of the sky, its surface often mirroring the gray, heavy clouds that drift inland from the direction of Southport Harbor.
Murray maintains a rhythm set by the echoes of colonial industry, where the remnants of old stone walls still fracture the woods, tracing the boundaries of fields long ago reclaimed by the forest. While the local economy has transitioned from the labor of early mills to the measured pace of modern suburban life, the proximity to the water remains a quiet influence on the temperament of the inhabitants. Life here unfolds with a focus on the preservation of the surrounding wilderness, as the proximity to the protected lands of Centennial Watershed State Forest ensures that the sprawl of the modern world stays at a respectful remove. Even as the seasons turn, the town retains a sense of seclusion, grounded in the knowledge that the salt air of the coast is merely a short journey away, yet the immediate horizon remains defined by the deep, verdant quiet of the trees and the steady, unyielding course of the brook.

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.
