How to Use This Oakville, Connecticut Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Oakville, 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 Oakville.

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.

About Oakville, Connecticut

Oakville is a locality in New Haven County, Connecticut, United States. It has a population of approximately 9,504. The population density is 922.9 people per km². Oakville is located at 41.5934°N, 73.0854°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 6779.

Oakville occupies a landscape defined by the steady, persistent movement of Steele Brook as it winds through the terrain. It lies 3.0 miles northwest of Waterbury, CT (from Waterbury, CT: bearing 324°T), and is situated 8.9 miles southwest of Bristol. The local topography rises toward the modest elevation of Nichols Hill, providing a firm, grounded horizon for those moving through the neighborhood. Beyond the immediate developed streets, the landscape transitions into the verdant, protected expanse of Mattatuck State Forest, where the sunlight filters through dense canopy in long, slanted bars. Residents often find quiet refuge within the boundaries of Aldorizo Park, which serves as a central point for outdoor activity. When the season turns, the air around Hancock Pond grows crisp, cooling the surrounding woods and fields that stretch toward the distant expanse of Buell Flats.

Oakville emerged from a tradition of manufacturing that once relied heavily on the water power provided by local streams. This heritage left behind a legacy of sturdy brick structures and mill architecture that continue to anchor the district’s industrial identity. Over generations, the local economy shifted from its early reliance on heavy production into a more diverse arrangement of modern services and small-scale enterprise. The steady rhythm of the morning commute reflects a transition from the labor-heavy past to a quiet, suburban continuity. Old stone walls remain in the woodland, marking property lines from a time when the land was divided for agriculture and early commerce. Today, the economy sustains itself through a careful balance of these historical foundations and the evolving needs of its residents.

Oakville maintains a cultural character shaped by the steady, unpretentious pace of daily life in inland Connecticut. The community gathers periodically for local events that celebrate the shared history and the changing seasons of the region. Notable landmarks include the enduring, utilitarian buildings that speak to the site's industrial roots, standing as silent observers to the passage of time. While the pace remains deliberate, the area has been home to individuals such as the legendary actor Robert Mitchum, who spent a portion of his formative years here before achieving global recognition. Whether walking near the banks of Steele Brook or traversing the paths toward the Mattatuck Trail, the sense of place is marked by a persistent, quiet dignity. Oakville remains a place where the internal life of the neighborhood is defined by the depth of its local connections rather than the clamor of the outside world.

About This Oakville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Oakville, Connecticut. Coordinates: 41.59343, -73.085387. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Oakville includes the ZIP code (6779), telephone area code (203, 475, 860, 959), county seat of New Haven County (New Haven), and school district assignment (Watertown School District).

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.
