Explore New London, 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 New London, 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 New London.
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.

New London rises with a distinct character upon the uneven slopes of Meeting House Hill, where the land meets the sky in a quiet, enduring elevation. It lies 11.7 miles south of Norwich, CT (from Norwich, CT: bearing 186°T), and is situated 1.2 miles west-northwest of Groton. The topography is defined by the steady, winding course of Briggs Brook, which carves a path through the landscape toward the lower reaches of Sanctuary Basin. Beyond these immediate waters, the land stretches out toward the distant, shimmering expanse of Hay Harbor, casting a maritime influence over the air at dusk. To the north, the terrain settles into the tranquil stillness of Rock Pond, a mirror for the changing seasons. The presence of Powder Island just offshore adds a jagged, solitary silhouette to the horizon, grounding the visual field in a rugged, coastal reality.
New London maintains a heritage built upon the resilience of its people and the steady industry that has long sustained its growth. The local economy has shifted through eras of maritime trade and manufacturing, leaving behind a landscape marked by the remnants of thoughtful, utilitarian architecture. Residents look toward the surrounding regions for the raw materials of their commerce, acknowledging a history tied to the ebb and flow of the tides. The proximity to Sanctuary Basin suggests a long-standing relationship with the water, where vessels once navigated the currents with purpose and precision. Today, the town balances these historical echoes with a modern commitment to steady, quiet progress. The atmosphere remains one of industrious reflection, where the work of the day is measured against the long, established rhythm of the seasons.
New London fosters a cultural spirit that is both understated and deeply rooted in its physical surroundings, particularly within the green, open spaces of Williams Memorial Park. The town honors its past through the preservation of its structures, which stand in quiet contrast to the modern pace of life. Notable figures like the playwright Eugene O’Neill, who spent his youth here, found inspiration in the atmospheric gray light and the saline breath of the coast. Community gatherings often center on local landmarks, bringing a sense of continuity to the daily lives of those who walk these streets. The influence of the nearby Nehantic State Forest provides a wild, untamed backdrop to the more formal, curated spaces of the town. Whether during a summer festival or a quiet autumn morning, the character of New London remains persistent, defined by an authenticity that resists the superficial.

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.
