Explore Quasset Lake, 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 Quasset Lake, 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 Quasset Lake.
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.

Quasset Lake reflects the shifting temperaments of the sky, its surface often mirroring the dense, deciduous canopy that crowds the water’s edge. It lies 15.9 miles east-northeast of Storrs, CT (from Storrs, CT: bearing 60°T), and is situated 8.9 miles south-southwest of Dudley. The land here is defined by a modest, undulating topography that rises abruptly at Bald Hill, a singular elevation that commands the local horizon. Little Brook meanders through the damp, low-lying soil nearby, its path carving a quiet, persistent furrow through the earth that feeds the surrounding wetlands. The air in this interior landscape carries a crisp, earthen scent, distinct from any salt-laden breeze, and the light at dusk settles in heavy, golden layers across the Quasset Lake and Dam, illuminating the moss-covered stones that line the spillway.
History remains embedded in the landscape through the remnants of old stone walls that wander aimlessly through second-growth timber, marking boundaries that have long since lost their original purpose. While the regional economy has shifted away from the agrarian and small-scale industrial roots that once defined the inland life of the Connecticut interior, Quasset Lake retains a character of deliberate, quiet endurance. The proximity of Mashamoquet Brook State Forest provides a sprawling, protected expanse that anchors the ecological identity of the region, far removed from the bustle of denser settlements. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, observed by those who recognize the subtle shift in the light over the water or the distant, quiet presence of the landscape that persists beyond the reach of modern industry.

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.
