How to Use This Richmond, Vermont Map

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

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 Richmond, Vermont

Richmond is a locality in Chittenden County, Vermont, United States. It is a small community with a population of 853. The population density is 287.1 people per km². Richmond is located at 44.4053°N, 72.9929°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 05477.

Richmond unfolds across a landscape where the insistent, cool currents of the Winooski River shape the valley floor, carving a path through the earth that defines the rhythm of the local geography. It lies 8.3 miles southeast of Essex Junction, VT (from Essex Junction, VT: bearing 135°T), and is situated 9.8 miles east-southeast of South Burlington. Richmond Pond rests two miles from the town center, its expansive, still surface acting as a quiet mirror for the changing seasons and the muted light of northern afternoons. Beyond the immediate banks, the land rises in deliberate, verdant swells, offering a view of the distant Green Mountains that trace a jagged, indigo line against the horizon. The air here carries a crisp, clean weight, often holding the scent of damp soil and the sharp, pine-heavy clarity that drifts down from the nearby Essex Junction Village Forest. Every path in the Richmond Rivershore Natural Area invites a slow pace, guiding those who walk them through a terrain that feels both ancient and entirely present.

Economic life in Richmond has long been tied to the soil and the river, tracing a history that favors the steady labor of agriculture over the frantic pace of modern industry. While the valley floor once supported the quiet necessity of mills and small-scale timber, the current character of the place is defined by a deep-rooted commitment to land stewardship and a deliberate preservation of its rural identity. Residents often look toward the nearby Honey Hollow for a sense of topographic solitude, or perhaps travel toward the distant roar of Bolton Falls to witness the kinetic energy of the water as it descends. Whether one is navigating the Sawmill Loop Trail or observing the way dusk settles over the fields, there is a perceptible stillness in the way the day concludes. Richmond maintains a character of understated endurance, where the simple architecture of the village remains a functional testament to a community that values the quiet continuity of its own seasons.

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.
