How to Use This Sunderland, Massachusetts Map

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

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.

About Sunderland, Massachusetts

Sunderland is a locality in Franklin County, Massachusetts, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,800. The population density is 95.0 people per km². Sunderland is located at 42.2445°N, 71.7717°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 01604, 01375.

Sunderland emerges from the fertile floodplain where the Great Drain carves a quiet, persistent path through the earth, marking the pulse of a landscape defined by its inland solitude. It lies 6.6 miles north-northwest of Amherst, MA (from Amherst, MA: bearing 335°T), and is situated 9.3 miles north-northeast of Hampshire. Beyond the immediate banks, the terrain rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Berkshire Hills, which frame the horizon in shades of slate and violet. The air here holds a distinct, crisp weight, particularly when the low light of late afternoon catches the tall grasses of the Sunderland Islands Wildlife Management Area, turning the fields into a sea of gilded stalks. Only four miles away, the dense, shadowed canopy of Mount Toby State Forest offers a sanctuary of pine and hemlock, a stark contrast to the open, orderly squares of agricultural land that stretch toward the horizon.

Sunderland preserves a deliberate pace, rooted in a history of husbandry and the quiet labor of the soil that has long dictated its economic life. While the influence of nearby academic centers pulses in the periphery, the daily rhythm remains tethered to the seasonal cycles of the fields and the patient stewardship of the land. Families and travelers alike find a singular stillness near the waters of Chard Pond, where the reflection of the sky remains undisturbed by the noise of larger corridors. Though the roar of Chapel Falls remains nine miles distant, the local character is shaped by a similar, steady endurance, favoring the quiet dignity of a place that understands its own boundaries and respects the long, slow work of the seasons.

About This Sunderland Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sunderland, Massachusetts. Coordinates: 42.244538, -71.771737. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Sunderland includes the ZIP code (01604, 01375), telephone area code (339, 351, 413, 508, 617, 774, 781, 857, 978), county seat of Franklin County (Greenfield), and school district assignment.

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.
