How to Use This Lowell, Vermont Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lowell, 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 Lowell.
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 Lowell, Vermont
Lowell is a locality in Orleans County, Vermont, United States. It is a small community with a population of 254. The population density is 34.1 people per km². Lowell is located at 44.7935°N, 72.4328°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 05847.Lowell occupies a rugged stretch of Vermont terrain where the East Branch Missisquoi River cuts a persistent, winding path through the landscape. It lies 38.9 miles east-northeast of Essex Junction, VT (from Essex Junction, VT: bearing 57°T), and is situated 15.2 miles southwest of Newport. The air here carries a sharp, clean clarity that intensifies during the transition between seasons, casting a long, amber glow over the fields as the sun dips behind the distant, hazy silhouette of the Green Mountains. To the south, the terrain rises toward the Browns Ledges Natural Area, a landscape defined by exposed stone and dense, quiet woods that stand in contrast to the lower, open meadows. Three miles away, the stillness of McAllister Pond provides a reflective mirror to the surrounding canopy, while the Lowell Municipal Forest offers a vast, unbroken expanse of timber that anchors the northern horizon.
Lowell maintains a quiet resilience, rooted in a history of land stewardship and the slow, rhythmic labor of the northern woods. The economy has long been shaped by the exigencies of the climate, with generations turning to the soil and the timber harvest to sustain the local character. Remnants of earlier passage exist in the vicinity of the Bayley Hazen Military Road Trail, a reminder of the paths carved into this wilderness long before the modern grid was established. Life in Lowell follows the pulse of the changing light, where the Bigelow Basin creates a distinct microclimate that influences the frost and the thaw. There is a profound, unadorned honesty in the way the local rhythm persists, indifferent to the clamor of the wider world, favoring the steady work of the seasons over the haste of contemporary life.

About This Lowell Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lowell, Vermont. Coordinates: 44.793476, -72.432757. 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 Lowell includes the ZIP code (05847), telephone area code (802), county seat of Orleans County (Newport), and school district assignment (Lowell School District).
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.
