Explore Augusta, Maine, 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 Augusta, Maine. 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 Maine 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 Augusta.
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.

Augusta anchors itself firmly against the banks of the Kennebec River, where the water moves with a steady, deliberate weight through the inland woods. It lies 18.2 miles south-southwest of Waterville, ME (from Waterville, ME: bearing 204°T), and is situated 5.6 miles north of Gardiner. Beyond the immediate riverbanks, the terrain rises into modest, wooded elevations that define the character of the surrounding landscape. Residents often seek the quiet stillness of the Hallowell Recreation Pond, a small body of water that offers a reprieve from the daily pulse of the streets. On the distant horizon, the faint, jagged silhouettes of the Longfellow Mountains suggest the rugged scale of the wilderness that stretches toward the interior. The light here at dusk settles into a cool, pale gray, illuminating the dense spruce and fir that define the regional color palette.
Augusta draws its historical gravity from the strategic importance of the river, which served as a primary artery for trade and early settlement long before the modern grid took shape. The local economy relies on the administrative functions of the state government, providing a stable backbone for the many professionals who work within the district. Industrial development has historically favored sites that could harness the power of the flowing water, leaving behind a legacy of brick and granite architecture that remains in use today. The rhythm of the workweek aligns with the seasonal shifts, where winter snows quiet the pace and summer warmth encourages movement through the local commerce centers. Small-scale manufacturing and service industries continue to adapt, maintaining a grounded, industrious spirit that reflects the practical nature of the regional population.
Augusta cultivates a cultural identity defined by its role as a seat of governance and its connection to the sprawling, forested terrain. The Kennebec River Rail Trail provides a continuous, accessible path for those who wish to traverse the landscape on foot or by bicycle, mirroring the river’s own southward journey. Visitors often find themselves drawn to the imposing copper dome of the state capitol, a landmark that dominates the skyline and serves as a visual anchor for the entire region. The area remains a place of quiet focus, though it has seen figures like the writer Sarah Orne Jewett, who captured the nuances of the regional temperament with great precision. Life in Augusta moves with an unpretentious persistence, where community events revolve around the changing seasons and the shared quietude of the northern woods.

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.
