Explore Jacksonville, 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 Jacksonville, 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 Jacksonville.
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.

Jacksonville holds the East Branch North River in a steady, cold embrace as it winds through the narrow, verdant lowlands of the valley floor. It lies 16.0 miles east-northeast of North Adams, MA (from North Adams, MA: bearing 65°T), and is situated 18.4 miles northwest of Greenfield. The surrounding terrain rises in earnest, defined by the heavy, dark timber of the Molly Stark State Forest, where the canopy creates a perpetual, muted twilight even at high noon. On the distant horizon, the jagged, hazy profile of the Taconic Range marks the edge of the world, a blue-gray reminder of the vast, landlocked wilderness that stretches toward the west. In the quiet hours of the afternoon, the light filters through the maples with a brittle clarity, illuminating the moss-slicked stones of the riverbed and the deep, silent shadows cast by the dense northern woods.
Jacksonville grew from the rugged necessities of early settlement, evolving from a place of hard-won subsistence into a quiet center of regional trade. The local economy persists in a measured, deliberate fashion, drawing its strength from the land and the endurance of those who work it, far removed from the frantic pulse of larger centers. While the proximity of the Wilmington School Forest provides a sanctuary for quiet study and reflection, the pace of the days is dictated more by the seasonal shift in the trees than by any clock. Nearby, the stillness of Harriman Reservoir offers a wide, reflective surface that mirrors the changing sky, while those seeking the high ground often turn their boots toward the Mount Olga Trail to find a vantage point over the timbered ridges. It is a landscape where the weight of history is felt in the silence between the gusts of wind, a place that demands a certain patience from those who dwell within its borders.

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.
