How to Use This Acushnet Center, Massachusetts Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Acushnet Center, Massachusetts. 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 Massachusetts 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 Acushnet Center.
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 Acushnet Center, Massachusetts
Acushnet Center is a locality in Bristol County, Massachusetts, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,030. The population density is 826.8 people per km². Acushnet Center is located at 41.6850°N, 70.9064°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 02743.Acushnet Center anchors a landscape defined by the deliberate, slow movement of water toward the Atlantic Ocean, which sits only three miles away. The terrain here is shaped by the quiet persistence of the Acushnet River, which winds through the low-lying basin just a mile from the village, carving a path through soil that feels heavy with dampness and time. At the center of this geography, Pope Park provides a modest, essential clearing where the air often holds the sharp, briny scent of the nearby coast, even when the sky is thick with the gray, humid promise of inland weather. To the west, the horizon remains flat and steady, lacking the dramatic rise of Beals Ledge, which looms far beyond the reach of the immediate eye, leaving the vistas here to focus on the intimate reflection of light upon the surface of Mill Pond.
Acushnet Center retains the quiet gravity of its agricultural beginnings, where the economy was once forged in the labor of orchards and the steady yield of the earth. While the modern pulse of the region has shifted, the legacy of this labor persists in the tidy, deliberate arrangement of property and the preservation of open spaces that once supported a more agrarian life. The proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and the presence of nearby Popes Island suggest a history tethered to the maritime currents of the coast, yet the local character remains stubbornly grounded in its inland identity. Life in Acushnet Center moves with a measured cadence, unbothered by the rapid transformations of larger centers, favoring instead the small, daily rhythms of a place that understands itself through the slow, seasonal transitions of its woods and wetlands.

About This Acushnet Center Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Acushnet Center, Massachusetts. Coordinates: 41.685, -70.9064. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Acushnet Center includes the ZIP code (02743), telephone area code (339, 351, 413, 508, 617, 774, 781, 857, 978), county seat of Bristol County (Taunton), and school district assignment (Acushnet School District).
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.
