Explore Cummington, 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 Cummington, 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 Cummington.
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.

Cummington rises amidst the dense, shadowed folds of the landscape where the Westfield River carves a path through the earth, defining the very cadence of the terrain. It lies 14.2 miles northwest of Hampshire, MA (from Hampshire, MA: bearing 304°T), and is situated 9.6 miles west-northwest of Williamsburg. The air here holds a crisp, singular weight, particularly when the low sun casts long, amber shadows across the uneven ground of the Cummington Wildlife Management Area. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Berkshire Hills frame the horizon, while the terrain itself dips toward the quiet expanse of Crocket Meadow. Further afield, the cooling presence of Lilly Pond offers a stillness that complements the rushing currents of the river, grounding the region in a landscape of deep woods and rugged, inland solitude.
William Cullen Bryant once walked these paths, his legacy lingering in the quiet, literate character that still defines the spirit of Cummington. The economy, once tethered to the timber and mills that drew power from the water, now reflects a subtle shift toward artisanal crafts and small-scale agriculture, keeping the pace of life measured and deliberate. Beyond the immediate village, the rugged beauty of the Chesterfield Gorge State Forest provides a wild counterpoint to the orderly, agrarian history of the valley. Those seeking the raw power of the landscape often journey toward Windsor Jambs, where the water’s relentless descent serves as a reminder of the forces that shaped this persistent, inland corner of the world.

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.
