Explore Bath, 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 Bath, 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 Bath.
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.

Bath presents a sturdy silhouette against the gray Atlantic light, defined by the salt-heavy air and the tidal pulse of the nearby coast. It lies 23.6 miles east-southeast of Lewiston, ME (from Lewiston, ME: bearing 124°T), and is situated 7.2 miles east of Brunswick. The landscape around Bath is shaped by the persistent flow of the Kennebec River, which winds toward the sea just a mile away. Beyond the immediate waterfront, the terrain rises toward the distant, rugged outline of The Reach, visible as a dark spine against the horizon. To the east, the sheltered waters of Hanson Bay catch the shifting colors of the afternoon, while the quiet, freshwater depths of Nequasset Lake offer a contrast to the brackish currents nearby. Bath Community Park provides a local green threshold where the spruce-fir woods meet the edge of the developed harbor, grounding the town in the tactile reality of the Maine soil.
Bath carries the weight of a long maritime legacy, built upon the expertise of those who once mastered the construction of great wooden vessels. The local economy remains tethered to this industrial heritage, as the massive silhouettes of cranes and dry docks continue to dominate the skyline where the Kennebec River meets the horizon. Shipbuilding serves as the primary engine of labor, demanding a precision and grit that has defined the character of the workforce for generations. Away from the shipyards, the economy branches into smaller maritime trades and local commerce that service the surrounding coastal landscape. This focus on heavy industry provides a stark, industrial beauty to the waterfront, where the rhythm of the work day is dictated by the turning of the tides and the sounding of whistles.
Bath maintains a cultural character defined by a quiet, industrious independence and a deep respect for the unforgiving northern climate. Residents often gather near the historic downtown, where brick facades reflect a time when the town stood as a premier port of the nineteenth century. Among the notable figures associated with the region, the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow remains a constant presence in the local consciousness, his verses echoing the maritime spirit of the coast. The town hosts annual gatherings that celebrate its connection to the sea, drawing people to the waterfront to observe the changing season. Whether walking through Bath Community Park or looking out toward Read Island, one senses a place that values its connection to the water as much as its own enduring resilience.

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.
