Explore Alburgh, Vermont, 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 Alburgh, Vermont. 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 Vermont 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 Alburgh.
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.

Alburgh occupies a slender, finger-like peninsula that reaches deep into the northern reaches of Lake Champlain, defined by the slow, deliberate curvature of the land against the water. It lies 34.7 miles north-northwest of Essex Junction, VT (from Essex Junction, VT: bearing 345°T), and is situated 7.2 miles east of Champlain. This reach of earth remains low and level, a quiet expanse where the horizon stays wide and uninterrupted, allowing the evening light to stretch across the fields in long, amber ribbons. To the east, the distant, jagged silhouette of the Green Mountains serves as a brooding, permanent backdrop, while the immediate landscape remains dominated by the open sky and the quiet, persistent presence of the surrounding lake. Near the northern boundary, the flat wetlands of the Mud Creek Wildlife Management Area provide a sanctuary for migratory birds, their calls echoing across the marshy margins that soften the transition between solid ground and the deep, cold expanse of Lake Champlain.
Agriculture defines the pulse of Alburgh, where the legacy of dairy farming persists in the quiet maintenance of fence lines and the seasonal turning of the soil. History here is marked by the proximity to the Richelieu River, a channel that has historically dictated the movement of goods and people through this northern corridor. The pace of life adheres to the turning of the seasons, moving from the quiet, frost-hardened stillness of winter to the sudden, verdant intensity of spring. Residents look toward the Chazy Boat Basin as a focal point for the seasonal activity that draws visitors to the water, yet the local character remains grounded in the steady, unassuming labor of those who work the land. Alburgh maintains a modest, resilient identity, existing as a place where the stillness of the northern plains meets the vast, reflective surface of the lake, far removed from the frantic acceleration of the world beyond.

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.
