How to Use This Sheffield, Vermont Map

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

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 Sheffield, Vermont

Sheffield is a locality in Caledonia County, Vermont, United States. It is a small community with a population of 186. The population density is 111.7 people per km². Sheffield is located at 44.6020°N, 72.1140°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 05866.

Sheffield rises from the rugged terrain of the Northeast Kingdom, defined by the persistent, cold-water flow of the Miller Run as it cuts through the landscape. It lies 49.7 miles east of Essex Junction, VT (from Essex Junction, VT: bearing 81°T), and is situated 33.9 miles northeast of Barre. The air here holds a crisp, thin clarity, often carrying the scent of damp hemlock and turned earth from the nearby Mathewson State Forest. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Green Mountains anchors the horizon, while the local topography remains dominated by dense, mixed hardwood stands and the quiet, reflective surface of Blake Pond. The light at dusk settles heavily over the timbered slopes, turning the gray stone outcrops into deep violet shadows that seem to swallow the remaining warmth of the afternoon.

Sheffield maintains a deliberate, quiet pace shaped by its long history of logging and small-scale agriculture. The economy remains tethered to the land, with the seasonal rhythm of sugaring houses and the steady maintenance of rural woodlots defining the labor of the inhabitants. Beyond the immediate reach of the village center, the land dips into the quiet seclusion of Squabble Hollow, where the silence is broken only by the movement of wildlife or the distant hum of a tractor. Those looking to engage with the wilder edges of the terrain often head toward the Herbert Hawkes Hiking Trail, tracing paths that have been worn into the forest floor over generations. Life here is measured not by the velocity of commerce, but by the endurance of the seasons and the simple, functional architecture of a place built to withstand the long, heavy winters of northern Vermont.

About This Sheffield Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sheffield, Vermont. Coordinates: 44.601998, -72.113988. 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 Sheffield includes the ZIP code (05866), telephone area code (802), county seat of Caledonia County (St. Johnsbury), and school district assignment.

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.
