Explore Bolton, 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 Bolton, 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 Bolton.
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.

Bolton holds the cold, clear current of Joiner Brook in its grip, a waterway that cuts through the steep, wooded terrain with a persistent, low-frequency hum. It lies 14.0 miles southeast of Essex Junction, VT (from Essex Junction, VT: bearing 126°T), and is situated 17.8 miles east-southeast of Burlington. The land rises sharply from the riverbed toward the rugged heights of the Green Mountains that define the distant horizon, their peaks often obscured by a heavy, slate-colored mist. Within the quiet perimeter of Camels Hump State Park, the earth retains a damp, mossy scent, and the light at dusk filters through the dense canopy in thin, sharp slants of gold. A few miles away, the rush of Bolton Falls provides a constant, rhythmic pulse to the silence, while the stillness of Goose Pond offers a brief, reflective pause in the otherwise vertical landscape.
Bolton emerged from a rugged, frontier geography where the labor of survival dictated the rhythm of the seasons. The local economy has long shifted from the early necessity of timber and small-scale clearing to a quieter, modern existence defined by the preservation of the surrounding wilderness. Honey Hollow remains a quiet reminder of the glacial shifts that shaped this basin, providing a sheltered corridor for wildlife and those seeking the solitude of the deep woods. Hikers often venture toward the Sawmill Loop Trail to trace the remnants of past industry, finding that the forest slowly reclaims the stone foundations left behind by earlier generations. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of the terrain, where the challenge of the slope and the endurance of the winter frost cultivate a character defined more by patience than by grand ambition.

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.
