How to Use This Mattapoisett, Massachusetts Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Mattapoisett, 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 Mattapoisett.

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.

Mattapoisett holds the quiet, salt-crusted edge of the Atlantic Ocean where the tides dictate the slow pulse of the day. It lies 4.7 miles east-northeast of Fairhaven, MA (from Fairhaven, MA: bearing 72°T), and is situated 6.3 miles east-northeast of New Bedford. The land here leans toward the water, shaped by the ebb and flow that defines the local horizon. Inland, the terrain reaches toward Bayside Meadows, providing a low-lying contrast to the open expanse of the salt air. To the north, the Cedar Swamp Town Forest offers a dense, shaded reprieve from the glare of the harbor, while the distant silhouette of Beals Ledge marks the far boundary of the regional geography. The presence of Eel Pond provides a freshwater stillness that anchors the coastline, grounding the shifting sands and the steady, rhythmic wash of the waves.

Whaling once defined the industry of Mattapoisett, leaving a legacy of sturdy timber and deep-water ambition that remains embedded in the architecture of the village. The local economy has shifted from the rough labor of the sea to a quiet reliance on maritime trade and the preservation of coastal heritage. Residents still look to the water for their livelihood, though the vessels have changed from hunting ships to the small crafts that navigate the harbor today. The gentle flow of Swift Brook provides a constant, freshwater reminder of the natural resources that sustained early settlers as they built their lives against the elements. Even now, the labor of the shore persists as a fundamental thread, connecting the current residents to the hard, salt-worn history of their predecessors.

Mattapoisett maintains a character marked by a deliberate, measured pace that favors the permanence of its colonial roots over the frantic haste of modern life. Notable landmarks like the local lighthouse stand as sentinels, watching over the Cape and Islands Ocean Sanctuary where the natural world is held in careful, protected suspension. Residents often venture toward Barstow Rock, a familiar point of orientation for those who navigate the local waters during the long, luminous summer evenings. Cultural life is defined by the seasonal arrival of visitors and the enduring presence of those who call the harbor home year-round. While the village remains modest in its scale, the resilience of the people who inhabit this stretch of the coast speaks to a quiet, persistent strength that has defined the region for generations.
