Explore Vineyard Haven Tisbury, 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 Vineyard Haven Tisbury, 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 Vineyard Haven Tisbury.
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.

Vineyard Haven Tisbury anchors the northern shore of the island, where the salt-heavy breath of the Atlantic Ocean defines the shifting contours of the harbor. It lies 4.8 miles northeast of Dukes, MA (from Dukes, MA: bearing 44°T), and is situated 6.7 miles south of Falmouth. Mud Creek carves a quiet, brackish path through the low-lying land, its dark waters feeding into the tides that have long shaped the local shoreline. Beyond the immediate reach of the docks, the terrain rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Monomoy Island Dunes, visible only when the atmosphere is thin and clear. The landscape here is defined by the proximity of Lake Tashmoo, a serene basin of fresh water that sits in contrast to the restless salt spray, while the nearby Martha's Vineyard State Forest offers a dense, pine-scented reprieve from the maritime exposure. Residents often gather near the Church Street Tennis Courts, a focal point of activity where the crisp, oceanic air meets the measured pace of daily life.
History persists in the weathered cedar shingles and the sturdy, maritime-focused architecture that defines the streetscape of Vineyard Haven Tisbury. Once a bustling center of the whaling trade, the economy has transitioned into a seasonal rhythm of maritime commerce and boutique enterprise, relying on the constant transit of vessels across the Atlantic Ocean. The East Chop Flats create a subtle, level geography that has allowed the village to expand outward while retaining a sense of intimacy, protected from the more dramatic elevations found elsewhere. Ferry Boat Island stands as a testament to the town's enduring connection to the water, serving as a reminder of the isolation and resilience that characterize life on the island. Even as modern influences arrive with the seasonal ferry, the essential character of the place remains tied to the tides, the quiet work of the harbor, and the persistent, literate severity of a coastal life shaped by the sea.

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.
