Explore Madawaska, 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 Madawaska, 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 Madawaska.
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.

Madawaska spreads across the northern reaches of the landscape, where the Little Madawaska River carves a quiet path through the earth. It lies 149.4 miles north-northeast of Bangor, ME (from Bangor, ME: bearing 15°T), and is situated 3.5 miles east-northeast of Caribou. The terrain unfolds in expansive, cultivated fields that meet the shadows of distant woodlands, while the horizon is anchored by the steady silhouette of Irish Ridge. Only three miles away, the surface of Malabeam Lake holds the reflection of the sky, its stillness offering a contrast to the seasonal pulse of the region. Just a mile from the center, the Aroostook National Wildlife Refuge provides a sanctuary where the flora and fauna shift with the heavy, rhythmic turning of the seasons, leaving the air crisp and clean as it drifts over the inland plains.
Madawaska carries a heritage defined by its proximity to the border and the resilient spirit of its Acadian roots, which continue to color the local dialect and customs. The economy has long been tethered to the timber and paper industries, a legacy that remains etched into the daily industry of the people who work the land and mills. Life in Madawaska moves with a deliberate, steady cadence, unbothered by the frantic pace of larger hubs, favoring the enduring bonds of a close-knit populace. On winter afternoons, the light turns a pale, translucent gold, illuminating the frost on the windowpanes and the quiet endurance of a settlement that finds its strength in the simplicity of the changing seasons.

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.
