How to Use This Stonington, Connecticut Map

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

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.

Stonington occupies a narrow, rocky peninsula that pushes firmly into the cooling air of the Atlantic Ocean. It lies 10.1 miles east of New London, CT (from New London, CT: bearing 98°T), and is situated 5.0 miles southwest of Westerly. Granite foundations and weathered shingles define the architecture here, where the land rises slightly toward the modest elevation of Wequetequock Hill before descending into salt marshes. The quality of light at dusk is particularly transformative, catching the edges of Elihu Island and casting long, indigo shadows across the harbor’s calm surface. Inland, the landscape softens into the quiet, wooded terrain surrounding Stony Brook, where the water moves with a deliberate, low-voiced persistence toward the sea. Residents often find solace in the stillness of Stonington Library Park, a small patch of green that serves as a quiet anchor amidst the shifting tides.

Historical echoes of maritime industry remain visible in the sturdy lines of colonial saltbox houses and the enduring brick facades that face the water, reminding visitors of a time when the economy relied entirely on the bounty of the deep. While the whaling trade has long since faded into the archives, the rhythm of daily life continues to be dictated by the seasonal shifts of the Atlantic Ocean, which remains a constant, rhythmic presence in the lives of those who work the docks. Beyond the immediate reach of the shore, the land preserves pockets of quietude, with the distant, darker reaches of the landscape offering a stark contrast to the manicured lanes of the village center. A traveler might wander far beyond the familiar streets, perhaps toward the more rugged paths like the Narragansett Trail, yet the character of the place remains firmly rooted in the intersection of salt, stone, and the patient, slow-turning cycles of the coast.
