How to Use This Machias, Maine Map

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

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 Machias, Maine

Machias is a locality in Washington County, Maine, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,457. The population density is 208.4 people per km². Machias is located at 44.7006°N, 67.4786°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 04654.

Machias reveals itself where the currents of the Machias River widen, drawing the salt-heavy air of the Atlantic Ocean into the deep, dark timberlands of the interior. It lies 64.9 miles east of Bangor, ME (from Bangor, ME: bearing 95°T), and is situated 33.9 miles south-southwest of Calais. The landscape is defined by a rugged, granite-strewn terrain that rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Hawkins Ridge, while the nearby Machias River PCON preserves a wild, untamed corridor of spruce and fir. At dusk, the light here turns a peculiar, bruised violet, catching the shallow waters as they pull away from the muddy banks toward the sea. Beyond the immediate woodlots, the land softens into the low-lying expanse of Randall Point Flats, and the quiet stillness of Little Lily Lake offers a mirror to the immense, northern sky.

Machias carries the weight of a long-standing maritime and timber heritage, its history forged in the sharp collision of colonial ambitions and the rhythms of the tides. The local economy persists through a quiet resilience, anchored by the seasonal pulse of the wild blueberry harvest and the steady, demanding labor of the Atlantic Ocean fisheries. A sense of purposeful solitude defines the daily life of those who remain, as if the inhabitants are forever listening to the distant, rhythmic thunder of Great Falls or watching the horizon for the whitecaps near Simpson Island. In the quiet corners of the streets, one finds a stubborn, enduring character that has little need for the frantic pace of the wider world, favoring instead the slow, inevitable turn of the seasons.
