Explore Oak Bluffs, 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 Oak Bluffs, 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 Oak Bluffs.
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.

Oak Bluffs reveals itself through a geometry of salt-bleached porches and the restless, rhythmic pulse of the Atlantic Ocean. It lies 6.6 miles east-northeast of Dukes, MA (from Dukes, MA: bearing 58°T), and is situated 7.3 miles south-southeast of Falmouth. The landscape holds the quiet stillness of Hiawatha Park, where the coastal air carries a sharp, mineral tang that clings to the skin. Beyond the immediate shoreline, the terrain stretches toward the East Chop Flats, a basin where the earth seems to exhale under the weight of the tides. To the west, the land rises toward the distant silhouette of Pilot Hill, while the surface of Farm Pond remains a flat, silver mirror reflecting the long, violet shadows of late afternoon. Even the distant expanse of the Martha's Vineyard State Forest provides a dark, verdant anchor to the horizon, grounding the shifting sands and the pale, jagged outline of Lovers Rock.
Oak Bluffs maintains a character forged by the fervor of mid-nineteenth-century religious gatherings, an echo of which persists in the ornate, candy-colored cottages that crowd the narrow lanes. This distinctive architecture, defined by intricate scrollwork and vibrant hues, serves as a physical record of the seasonal migrations that have long sustained the local economy through trade, hospitality, and the quiet commerce of the harbor. Life here moves in concert with the shifting currents of the Atlantic Ocean, far removed from the inland flow of Mud Creek, which winds its own slow path through the interior. In the quiet hours before the ferry traffic swells, one can hear the singular, hollow whistle of the wind moving through the wood-frame eaves, a sound that marks the transition from the industrious hum of the morning to the heavy, salt-laden peace of a coastal dusk.

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.
