How to Use This Chappaquidic Island, Massachusetts Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Chappaquidic Island, 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 Chappaquidic Island.
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 Chappaquidic Island, Massachusetts
Chappaquidic Island is a locality in Dukes County, Massachusetts, United States. It is a small community with a population of 150. The population density is 18.0 people per km². Chappaquidic Island is located at 41.3744°N, 70.4729°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 02539.Chappaquidic Island exists as a low-slung reach of sand and scrub oak, defined by the relentless pulse of the Atlantic Ocean that batters its eastern perimeter. It lies 9.0 miles east of Marthas Vineyard, MA (from Marthas Vineyard, MA: bearing 93°T), and is situated 2.3 miles east-southeast of Edgartown. The terrain here is shaped by the subtle shifts of wind and tide, where the fragile, sandy soil gives way to the protected, quiet interior of the Three Ponds Reservation. One mile to the west, the basin of Sturgeon Flats catches the morning light in a pale, reflective sheen, while the nearby Pease Pond offers a still, freshwater contrast to the salt-spray air. Far off on the horizon, the distant Monomoy Island Dunes provide a faint, serrated edge to the sky, reminding the observer that the landscape is part of a larger, shifting maritime geography.
Chappaquidic Island maintains a character of purposeful isolation, its history tied to a slow, deliberate pace of life that persists long after the summer crowds have retreated to the mainland. The local economy has largely moved away from the intensive maritime harvests of the past, though the echoes of those industries remain in the weathered shingles of older dwellings and the quietude of the shoreline. While the Martha's Vineyard State Forest stands six miles away as a dense anchor of green, the vegetation here remains stunted and hardy, adapted to the salt-laden gales that sweep across the island. Even the distant Mattakeset Herring Creek, three miles removed, suggests a connection to the cycles of migration and growth that have governed this coast for centuries, grounding the island in a quiet, enduring rhythm.

About This Chappaquidic Island Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Chappaquidic Island, Massachusetts. Coordinates: 41.374432, -70.472943. 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 Chappaquidic Island includes the ZIP code (02539), telephone area code (339, 351, 413, 508, 617, 774, 781, 857, 978), county seat of Dukes County (Edgartown), and school district assignment.
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.
