Explore Riverside, Michigan, 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 Riverside, Michigan. 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 Michigan 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 Riverside.
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.

Riverside commands a landscape defined by the persistent, winding presence of the Paw Paw River, which carves a deliberate path through the fertile soil just a short distance from the expansive reach of Lake Michigan. It lies 3.9 miles north-northeast of Benton Township, MI (from Benton Township, MI: bearing 19°T), and is situated 5.9 miles northeast of Benton Harbor. {INSERT HERE} The terrain surrounding Riverside is characterized by gentle, cultivated slopes that rise toward the modest prominence of Thunder Mountain on the horizon, creating a basin where the air holds a distinct, cool moisture. In the soft light of late afternoon, the proximity to the great lake softens the shadows, casting a silvery glow over the fields and the quiet grounds of Riverside Children's Park.
Agriculture remains the quiet pulse of the local economy, as the orchards that flourish in this climate have long dictated the rhythm of the seasons for those who work the land. While the modern world moves with a different velocity, the history of Riverside is anchored in these agrarian roots, where the labor of the harvest once defined the prosperity of the neighborhood. The influence of the nearby Morrison Channel and the distant silhouette of Marina Island serve as constant reminders of the broader waterways that shape the region's character. Life in Riverside persists with a steady, unforced grace, marked by the changing colors of the foliage and the reliable, seasonal cycle of the fruit trade that has sustained the spirit of the place for generations.

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.
