Explore Derry, New Hampshire, 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 Derry, New Hampshire. 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 New Hampshire 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 Derry.
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.

Derry anchors itself firmly within a landscape defined by the persistent, quiet movement of Beaver Brook as it carves a path through the interior terrain. It lies 10.2 miles southeast of Manchester, NH (from Manchester, NH: bearing 141°T), and is situated 9.1 miles east-southeast of Merrimack Valley. The land surrounding Derry holds a rugged, inland character, where the water of Hoods Pond mirrors the shifting grays and golds of the canopy above. To the west, the distant silhouette of Bear Hill rises against the horizon, serving as a silent sentinel over the local topography. Short excursions into the woods reveal the dense, untamed growth of Ballard State Forest, where the scent of pine needles deepens in the cool, shaded air. During the transition of seasons, the light filters through the trees with a particular clarity, illuminating the sturdy granite outcroppings that define the region's ancient geology.
Derry traces its origins to early colonial settlement patterns that favored the fertile soil and reliable water power necessary for agrarian survival. Generations of residents cultivated a local economy rooted in industrious self-reliance, transitioning over time from traditional farming to a diverse array of modern professional services and manufacturing. The spirit of Yankee independence remains a tangible thread in the daily operations of local businesses, which often occupy repurposed buildings that once served the needs of an earlier agricultural society. Despite the shifting demands of the regional market, Derry maintains a steady focus on commerce that respects its foundational history. The rhythm of productivity here is measured, reflecting a commitment to sustainable growth that honors the pragmatic traditions of those who first cleared the land.
Cultural identity in Derry is inextricably linked to the literary legacy of Robert Frost, who found profound inspiration in the quiet labor of his local farmstead. Residents often gather at Veterans Park & Field to mark the passing of seasons or to participate in community events that foster a sense of shared purpose. The town serves as a guardian of its own narrative, preserving landmarks that echo the voices of those who shaped its intellectual and civic development. While the pace of life remains grounded, the occasional traveler might venture nine miles outward to experience the cascading waters of Wildcat Falls. This environment encourages a contemplative existence, where the simple act of walking along a stone wall provides a direct connection to the enduring character of the landscape. Derry continues to cultivate a space where the weight of history and the fluidity of contemporary life find a natural, unforced balance.

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.
