Explore Old Greenwich, 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 Old Greenwich, 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 Old Greenwich.
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.

Old Greenwich preserves a quiet, dignified atmosphere where the landscape slopes gently toward the distant, shimmering expanse of Port Chester Harbor. It lies 2.5 miles south-southwest of Stamford, CT (from Stamford, CT: bearing 213°T), and is situated 5.5 miles east-northeast of Port Chester. The terrain is defined by the modest, rugged elevation of Rhode Island Rocks just two miles away, which anchor the horizon against the soft, shifting light of the afternoon. To the west, the winding path of the Rippowam River cuts through the woodland, its waters reflecting the pale, gray sky of a New England autumn. Residents enjoy the proximity to the serene Buffham Lane Park, where the air often holds the crisp, salt-tinged scent of the tides. Beyond the immediate tree line, the local geography dips into the gentle, shaded hollows of Halloween Basin, creating a varied topography that feels both intimate and expansive.
Settlement in Old Greenwich grew from early colonial roots into a sophisticated enclave defined by its deliberate, measured pace of life. The economy shifted long ago from agrarian and maritime pursuits to its current status as a residential sanctuary for those who value proximity to the financial centers of the region. Architecture here serves as a historical record, with Federal-period brick and traditional saltbox homes standing as sturdy, silent witnesses to the passage of decades. Even as modern industry hums in the surrounding counties, the local character remains focused on preserved heritage and a quiet, suburban stability. The proximity of Greenwich Island serves as a persistent reminder of the area’s enduring relationship with the coastal environment that shaped its earliest days.
Old Greenwich fosters a culture that prizes understated elegance, where the rhythm of the day is dictated more by the tides than by the frantic pulse of the modern world. Notable figures such as the author Anya Seton found inspiration in the quietude of these streets, where stone walls weave through second-growth woods. Local events often center on the seasonal changes, drawing people together under the canopy of old trees to celebrate the distinct transitions of the climate. The architectural legacy, paired with the natural beauty of the nearby coast, creates an environment where the past is not merely remembered but lived in daily. Life in Old Greenwich moves with a steady, deliberate grace, mirroring the slow, persistent flow of the nearby water toward the harbor.

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.
