How to Use This Blandford, Massachusetts Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Blandford, 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 Blandford.
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 Blandford, Massachusetts
Blandford is a locality in Hampden County, Massachusetts, United States. It is a small community with a population of 363. The population density is 121.9 people per km². Blandford is located at 42.1806°N, 72.9273°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 01008.Blandford manifests as a high, rugged plateau where the air holds a persistent, cool clarity. It lies 9.9 miles west-northwest of Westfield, MA (from Westfield, MA: bearing 293°T), and is situated 4.7 miles southwest of Huntington. Falls Brook carves its way through the darkened bedrock of the terrain, maintaining a constant, rhythmic pulse that defines the local topography. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Berkshire Hills frame the horizon, while the immediate landscape is marked by the deep, quiet basins of Peebles Hollow and the stillness of Dunlap Pond. Arms Acres Memorial Forest blankets the immediate vicinity, providing a dense, verdant canopy that shifts from sharp emerald to muted ochre with the turning of the seasons.
Blandford carries the weight of a long-settled agrarian history, its economy once tethered to the timber and soil that sustained generations of hardy inhabitants. The legacy of these early settlers remains visible in the stark, functional architecture that persists despite the shifting tides of modern industry. Travelers often seek out the nearby Chester-Blanford State Forest or traverse the Richard Trail, finding a deliberate, measured pace that stands in contrast to the rapid development found elsewhere. Though the distant roar of Otis Falls remains a singular, powerful landmark for those willing to venture further afield, the true character of Blandford resides in its quiet, enduring resilience and the unadorned beauty of its interior forests.

About This Blandford Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Blandford, Massachusetts. Coordinates: 42.180646, -72.927322. 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 Blandford includes the ZIP code (01008), telephone area code (339, 351, 413, 508, 617, 774, 781, 857, 978), county seat of Hampden County (Springfield), and school district assignment (Gateway 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.
