Explore Greenfield, 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 Greenfield, 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 Greenfield.
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.

Greenfield anchors the upper reaches of a landscape defined by the persistent flow of the Green River. It lies 14.8 miles north-northwest of Amherst, MA (from Amherst, MA: bearing 345°T), and is situated 4.9 miles northwest of Montague. The town occupies a terrain where the distant, hazy blue of the Berkshire Hills looms on the western horizon, grounding the visual scope of the valley. To the east, the water of the Montague Power Canal Reservoir waits in steady, quiet repose, reflecting the shifting moods of the sky. The nearby Deerfield Meadows spread out with a flat, fertile patience, offering a subtle contrast to the elevations that frame the region. Sunlight often catches the surface of the Green River at dusk, turning the water into a ribbon of tarnished silver that winds through the lowlands.
Greenfield evolved from early colonial foundations into a center of regional commerce, fueled by the ingenuity of its industrial growth. The local economy grew sturdy through the production of tools and machinery, creating a legacy of labor that persists in the brick architecture of the downtown district. Workers once relied on the power of the water to drive local mills, a tradition that mirrors the steady, internal momentum of the current trade sector. The proximity to Turners Falls allowed for a harness of energy that shaped the early manufacturing life of the inhabitants. Today, the town maintains a steady pulse of small-scale industry and retail, favoring a practical approach to regional development. This economic history remains visible in the sturdy, unadorned facades that line the main thoroughfares, keeping the memory of a manufacturing past alive.
Greenfield cultivates a character shaped by its intellectual independence and a grounded, pragmatic spirit. The NESEA Energy Park serves as a focal point for modern innovation, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability that resonates with the local culture. Residents often gather for seasonal events that celebrate the harvest and the changing light of the seasons, maintaining a social rhythm that feels deliberate and unhurried. The writer and activist W.E.B. Du Bois spent time in the region, leaving an imprint on the area’s long-standing dedication to social thought and civic engagement. Local life finds its expression in the quiet endurance of its people, who value the connection between their daily work and the natural surroundings. Through the changing leaves and the sharp air of autumn, the personality of Greenfield remains as distinct as the landscape it occupies.

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.
