How to Use This Newport, Vermont Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Newport, 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 Newport.
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 Newport, Vermont
Newport is a locality in Orleans County, Vermont, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,455. The population density is 293.5 people per km². Newport is located at 44.9364°N, 72.2051°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. Newport is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 05855.Newport occupies a deliberate, quiet expanse where the Clyde River carves a path toward the expansive, dark waters of Lake Memphremagog. It lies 54.1 miles northeast of Essex Junction, VT (from Essex Junction, VT: bearing 55°T), and is situated 32.3 miles northeast of Morrisville. The air here holds the crisp, thin quality of the northern latitudes, clarifying the horizon where the distant Green Mountains appear as faint, jagged ink-strokes against the pale sky. Dense timber stands vigil in the Newport City Municipal Forest, while the immediate landscape around Pomerleau Park offers a low, grassy vantage point to watch the light change over the water. Winter often settles early, turning the surface of the lake into a rigid plane of gray ice, while autumn brings a sudden, violent combustion of maples that reflects perfectly in the slow-moving currents of the river.
Newport maintains a character shaped by its long-standing connection to the borderlands, functioning as a nexus for the timber and agricultural commerce that historically defined the region. The economy has shifted from the heavy industry of the past, yet the influence of the northern woods remains, visible in the enduring patterns of local craft and the steady, unadorned work of the residents. Those seeking the rugged stillness of the terrain often head toward the Pisgah Trail or journey to witness the sheer force of Big Falls, where the water churns with an insistent, rhythmic power. Life in Newport follows the turning of these seasons, a persistent, measured cycle that values the weight of the land over the frantic pace of the wider world.

About This Newport Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Newport, Vermont. Coordinates: 44.936436, -72.205102. 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 Newport includes the ZIP code (05855), telephone area code (802), county seat of Orleans County (Newport), and school district assignment (Newport City 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.
