Explore Falmouth, 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 Falmouth, 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 Falmouth.
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.

Falmouth stretches across a landscape where the sharp, salt-heavy breath of the Atlantic meets the quiet, persistent movement of the Scitterygusset Creek. It lies 4.7 miles north of Portland, ME (from Portland, ME: bearing 8°T), and is situated 6.1 miles north of South Portland. The land here is defined by a slow transition from dense, evergreen-shadowed earth toward the open, tidal reaches of Mussel Cove, where the water pulls back to reveal slick, gray mudflats and jagged stone. To the north, the Falmouth Town Forest offers a thick canopy of spruce and pine, a place where the light filters down in thin, dusty shafts that settle upon the damp, needle-strewn ground. In the distance, the silhouettes of Pleasant Ridge blur against the horizon, providing a steady, quiet anchor to the view, while the nearby Falmouth Nature Preserve protects the delicate fringes of the coast, keeping the wild, tangled edges of the shoreline intact against the encroaching gray of the winter sky.
Falmouth carries the weight of a long maritime heritage, once a place of bustling shipyards and sawmills that relied on the steady flow of local waterways to drive the economy. Today, the roar of Presumpscot Falls echoes with a persistent, percussive energy, a reminder of the power that once turned the wheels of early industry. The rhythm of life in Falmouth is tethered to the tides and the seasonal shifts of the forest, with the presence of The Brothers looming just off the coast like dark, watchful sentinels in the harbor. While the modern economy has shifted toward residential and commercial growth, the quiet, disciplined work of those who harvest the sea remains an essential thread in the local character. Even as the pace of the day quickens, the stillness found near the water or within the cool, quiet depths of the woods suggests a place that has maintained its composure, content to exist in the long, cooling light that defines this northern edge of the coast.

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.
