How to Use This West Wareham, Massachusetts Map

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

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 West Wareham, Massachusetts

West Wareham is a locality in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,224. The population density is 229.9 people per km². West Wareham is located at 41.7898°N, 70.7603°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 02576.

West Wareham draws its character from the dark, serpentine passage of the Weweantic River, which carves a path through the low-lying terrain of the coastal plain. It lies 2.7 miles northwest of Wareham, MA (from Wareham, MA: bearing 313°T), and is situated 9.0 miles west-northwest of Bourne. The landscape here is defined by a low, damp horizon, where the air hangs heavy with the scent of brackish water and pine needles, pulling the dampness inward from the Atlantic Ocean four miles to the south. To the north, the land rises in subtle, scrub-brushed increments, while just a mile away, the quiet waters of Rose Brook Reservoir hold the mirrored image of a gray, New England sky. The proximity of Unknown Park provides a thin veil of managed wilderness, a place where the stillness is broken only by the migratory shift of birds moving toward the saltwater marshes.

West Wareham emerged from a history of iron production and agrarian toil, its economic roots reaching deep into the boggy soil that once powered the machinery of early industry. The legacy of these iron works has faded into the quietude of modern commerce and modest residential lanes, leaving behind a pace of life that favors the steady labor of the commute over the frantic pulse of the city. Travelers passing through might notice how the light, filtered through the salt-heavy haze, turns the local cedar and fieldstone to a muted, weathered silver. While the distant, jagged silhouette of Ridge Hill remains a faint memory on the far horizon, the life of the place remains firmly tethered to the riverbanks and the nearby presence of Cedar Island, where the tides exert a slow, rhythmic gravity on the consciousness of those who stay.
