How to Use This Groton, Vermont Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Groton, 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 Groton.

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.

About Groton, Vermont

Groton is a locality in Caledonia County, Vermont, United States. It is a small community with a population of 419. The population density is 73.7 people per km². Groton is located at 44.2189°N, 72.2011°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 05046.

Groton manifests as a quiet intersection of dense woodland and sudden, sweeping clearings where the Wells River cuts a persistent, silver-edged path through the bedrock. It lies 49.2 miles east-southeast of Essex Junction, VT (from Essex Junction, VT: bearing 113°T), and is situated 15.2 miles east of Barre. Beyond the immediate reach of the water, the terrain rises into steep, wooded ridges that eventually give way to the distant, hazy silhouette of the Green Mountains on the western horizon. The air here carries a sharp, clean clarity, especially as the late afternoon light flattens against the trunks of hemlock and pine, casting long shadows that seem to anchor the landscape to the earth. Only a mile away, the Pine Mountain Wildlife Management Area preserves a rugged, unmanicured character that defines the surrounding wilderness, where the silence is broken only by the shifting of leaves or the occasional call of a bird navigating the canopy.

Groton traces its internal rhythm to a heritage built upon the steady harvest of timber and the careful cultivation of the interior valleys. While the Newbury Municipal Forest stands five miles off as a reminder of the region's commitment to timberland stewardship, the local economy remains tied to the slow, deliberate pace of rural life and the seasonal cycles that dictate the work of the day. Travelers seeking a more intimate engagement with the topography often head toward the Silver Ledge Trail, which offers a vantage point over the broken, forested landscape, or linger near the quiet, reflective waters of Ricker Pond. History in Groton is not found in grand monuments but in the persistent, functional architecture of a place that values durability and a modest, self-contained existence, far from the frantic energy of more populous corridors.

About This Groton Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Groton, Vermont. Coordinates: 44.218914, -72.201098. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Groton includes the ZIP code (05046), telephone area code (802), county seat of Caledonia County (St. Johnsbury), and school district assignment (Blue Mountain USD 21).

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.
