Explore Fair Haven, 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 Fair Haven, 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 Fair Haven.
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.

Fair Haven occupies a low-lying basin where the Castleton River winds through the landscape, its waters carving a subtle path toward the horizon. It lies 14.7 miles west of Rutland, VT (from Rutland, VT: bearing 266°T), and is situated 7.4 miles east-northeast of Whitehall. The earth here is defined by a heavy, slate-rich soil that has long dictated the rhythm of the local industry, drawing strength from the mineral veins that run deep beneath the surface. To the west, the land stretches out in quiet fields, while the distant, serrated spine of the Green Mountains marks the eastern limit of the view, appearing as a soft, bruised purple against the twilight sky. Residents often find that the air holds a particular stillness near the Village Green, where the shadows of maples grow long and thin as the sun retreats behind the jagged ridges.
Fair Haven emerged from a legacy of granite and slate extraction, a history still visible in the sturdy, grey-walled architecture that defines the central square. This enterprise once fueled the local economy, leaving behind a landscape shaped by the industry of men who carved their livelihood from the bedrock. Today, the pace of life remains tethered to the slow cycles of the seasons, far removed from the frantic pulse of larger hubs. Those seeking a connection to the past might walk the Vermont State History Trail, or perhaps wander toward the quiet shores of Lake Bomoseen, where the water mirrors the shifting moods of the clouds. Whether one is passing through or lingering in the shade of the Village Green, Fair Haven maintains a stoic, unassuming character, anchored by the weight of its own quiet endurance.

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.
