Explore Vergennes, 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 Vergennes, 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 Vergennes.
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.

Vergennes commands a singular prominence where the insistent, dark currents of Otter Creek tumble through the bedrock of the Champlain Valley. It lies 21.1 miles south of South Burlington, VT (from South Burlington, VT: bearing 191°T), and is situated 11.3 miles north-northwest of Middlebury. The water churns with a relentless, rhythmic gravity at Vergennes Falls Park, carving a deep, resonant passage through the limestone that defines the local topography. Beyond the immediate rush of the falls, the land stretches out into a quiet expanse of fertile fields, where the air holds a crisp, mineral clarity that sharpens the silhouettes of the distant Green Mountains against the evening sky. To the west, the horizon hints at the vast, cooling presence of Lake Champlain, while the dense, shadowed canopy of the Ferrisburg Municipal Forest offers a hushed contrast to the open, working meadows that blanket the surrounding terrain.
Vergennes emerged from the confluence of waterpower and ambition, its early industry forged by the very force that still animates the center of the landscape. The iron works and mills that once thrived upon the banks of Otter Creek have given way to a slower, more deliberate commerce, where the legacy of craftsmanship persists in the quiet storefronts and the steady, unadorned pulse of daily life. While the Bristol Flats offer a wider view of the agrarian rhythms that sustain the region, the local character remains anchored to the falls, a place where time is measured not by grand events, but by the seasonal turning of the maple trees and the enduring stability of the local granite. Travelers passing through find a town that exists in a state of quiet equilibrium, neither seeking to outpace its history nor failing to acknowledge the steady demands of the present day.

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.
