Explore Woburn, 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 Woburn, 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 Woburn.
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.

Woburn occupies a landscape defined by the quiet interplay of glacial remnants and the persistent pull of the nearby Atlantic Ocean. It lies 2.0 miles north-northwest of Winchester, MA (from Winchester, MA: bearing 337°T), and is situated 9.5 miles north-northwest of Greater Boston. The terrain rises toward the rugged elevations of the Middlesex Fells, while the low-lying basin of Shaker Glen provides a stark, verdant contrast to the surrounding development. Residents often find solace at the edges of Horn Pond, where the water catches the fading light of dusk in a mirror of silver and gray. Fowle Brook meanders through the outskirts, its thin ribbon of water carving a subtle path through the earth toward the distant coast. Beyond the immediate municipal borders, the expansive Brooks-Parkhurst Town Forest offers a dense canopy of shade for those seeking the quietude of the woods.
Woburn evolved from its early colonial origins into a significant industrial hub that once anchored the regional leather trade. Great fortunes were built upon the tanneries that defined the local economy for generations, leaving behind a legacy of industrious transformation. Today, the commercial character of Woburn has shifted, favoring office parks and modern enterprise that capitalize on its strategic position near major transit corridors. While the physical remnants of the old factories have largely been repurposed or cleared, the disciplined work ethic of its founders remains a silent, guiding force in the current professional climate. The proximity to Great Island and the wider maritime influence of the Atlantic Ocean continues to shape the economic outlook of the region.
Library Park serves as the civic anchor of Woburn, providing a green refuge where the pace of modern life slows beneath the canopy of mature trees. This central space mirrors the literate, Yankee character of a population that values historical continuity alongside the demands of the present. Notable figures such as the physicist Benjamin Thompson, later known as Count Rumford, emerged from the intellectual climate of the region to influence global scientific thought. Residents might occasionally venture further afield to walk the Black Heritage Trail, connecting the local experience to the broader narrative of the American story. The cultural identity of Woburn persists as a blend of traditional New England reserve and an openness to the shifts of a changing, interconnected world.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Woburn, Massachusetts. Coordinates: 42.488703, -71.154383. 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 Woburn includes the ZIP code (01801, 01813, 01815), telephone area code (339, 351, 413, 508, 617, 774, 781, 857, 978), county seat of Middlesex County (Cambridge), and school district assignment (Woburn School District).
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.
