Explore Chesterfield, Massachusetts, 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 Chesterfield, 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 Chesterfield.
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.

Chesterfield occupies a high, rugged plateau where the air holds a persistent, crystalline chill that speaks of the deep woods and the rising elevation toward the Berkshire Hills in the west. It lies 9.6 miles west-northwest of Hampshire, MA (from Hampshire, MA: bearing 289°T), and is situated 5.6 miles west of Williamsburg. Baker Brook carves a path through the landscape, its waters cutting through the earth with a steady, deliberate energy that defines the local topography. Beyond the reach of the brook, the terrain transitions into the dense, shadowed canopy of Chesterfield Gorge State Forest, where the hemlocks grow thick and the ground remains perpetually damp. In the lower reaches of the basin, Fisk Meadow provides a quiet expanse of open land that contrasts sharply with the jagged, rocky outcrops scattered throughout the region. The light here at dusk possesses a singular quality, filtering through the trees in thin, golden shafts that illuminate the mossy stones and the quiet, undisturbed surface of Damon Pond.
Chesterfield emerged from a tradition of agrarian persistence, its early economy built upon the grit of settlers who cleared the stubborn soil and harnessed the power of the local waterways for small-scale milling. While the frantic pace of industrial modernization touched other parts of the region, Chesterfield maintained a deliberate, inward-looking character, favoring the quiet rhythms of seasonal labor and land stewardship. The Fisk Meadows Wildlife Management Area serves as a living archive of this commitment to the natural world, preserving the open character of the valley for those who seek the silence of the woods. Travelers occasionally venture toward the distant, cascading waters of Glendale Falls or navigate the terrain along the Spring Trail, yet the daily life of Chesterfield remains largely centered on the preservation of its own quiet, unyielding identity. The legacy of its founding persists in the sturdy stone walls that still partition the woods, marking the boundaries of fields that have long since returned to the wild.

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.
