Explore West 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 West 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 West 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.

West Tisbury occupies a quiet reach of land defined by the persistent, cooling influence of the Atlantic Ocean just three miles to the east. It lies 1.5 miles west of Marthas Vineyard, MA (from Marthas Vineyard, MA: bearing 272°T), and is situated 1.6 miles south of Dukes. Mill Brook cuts through the soil, its steady, silver pulse feeding into the tranquil waters of Old Millpond, which mirrors the shifting, pale light of the New England sky. Beyond the village, the terrain dips into the low, shadowed folds of Willow Tree Bottom, while the distant, higher ground of Ridge Hill marks the horizon. The air here carries a faint, persistent tang of salt, a reminder that the great expanse of the Atlantic Ocean is never far from the thoughts of those who walk the shaded lanes or observe the slow, seasonal turn of the landscape.
West Tisbury maintains a character shaped by its agrarian roots, where the West Tisbury Grange Hall serves as a focal point for the communal labor and intellectual life of its inhabitants. Local industry has long moved away from the intensive milling of the past, favoring instead a tradition of independent craftsmanship and small-scale agriculture that honors the island’s legacy. The rhythm of the day is marked not by the hum of machinery, but by the quiet passage of neighbors between the open fields and the village center, where the influence of a literate, disciplined history remains evident in the careful preservation of the architecture. Life here persists with a deliberate, measured gravity, reflecting a culture that values the austerity of the land as much as the quiet endurance of its people.

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.
