How to Use This Stratford Downtown, Connecticut Map

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

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 Stratford Downtown, Connecticut

Stratford Downtown is a locality in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,473. The population density is 910.0 people per km². Stratford Downtown is located at 41.1989°N, 73.1276°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 6614.

Stratford Downtown holds the character of a place defined by the steady, persistent pull of the tides. It lies 3.9 miles west-southwest of Milford city, CT (from Milford city, CT: bearing 242°T), and is situated 4.6 miles east-northeast of Bridgeport. Ferry Creek carves a slow, meandering path through the landscape, acting as a quiet artery that connects the local elevation of Academy Hill to the broader, salt-tinged horizon. From the vantage of Elliott Street Park, one can observe the flat, open light that settles over the ground, emphasizing the subtle textures of the earth and the way the air carries a distinct, sharp clarity from the distant coast. Goose Island sits in the periphery like a low, dark anchor, while the nearby Marine Basin gathers the runoff of the seasons, maintaining a stillness that seems to slow the pace of the afternoon.

Stratford Downtown emerged from a history of maritime ingenuity, where the proximity to the water once dictated the rhythm of the local economy and the shape of its early industry. The legacy of those river-mouth shipbuilding days remains etched in the quiet orientation of the streets, which favor the water’s edge even as the modern economy has shifted toward more varied pursuits. Though the bustle of the past has softened, the area retains a grounded, deliberate atmosphere, where the gray, muted tones of old brick and wood reflect a long-standing endurance. Residents move through the day with a sense of continuity, passing by the quiet expanse of Cooks Pond or looking toward the Yellow Mill Channel, aware that their lives are shaped by a geography that has remained largely constant through the generations.

About This Stratford Downtown Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Stratford Downtown, Connecticut. Coordinates: 41.1989, -73.1276. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

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.
