How to Use This Wardsboro, Vermont Map

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

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 Wardsboro, Vermont

Wardsboro is a locality in Windham County, Vermont, United States. It is a small community with a population of 70. The population density is 243.5 people per km². Wardsboro is located at 43.0417°N, 72.7912°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 05355.

Wardsboro defines itself through the persistent, melodic rush of Wardsboro Brook, which carves a restless path through the steep, wooded terrain. It lies 40.3 miles south-southeast of Rutland, VT (from Rutland, VT: bearing 167°T), and is situated 17.7 miles northwest of Brattleboro. The air here holds a crisp, mineral edge, sharpened by the proximity of the Wardsboro Town Forest, where dense maples stand in silent, vertical rows. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Taconic Range anchors the horizon, while the terrain itself rises and falls in long, muscular swells of earth. Sunlight often catches the damp moss on the valley floor, turning the shaded hollows into pockets of deep, verdant velvet before the evening chill descends.

Wardsboro maintains a quiet, industrious character rooted in the legacy of timber and the seasonal labor of the sugar bush. The local economy persists with a measured, deliberate pace, far removed from the clamor of wider thoroughfares, as residents attend to the land with the same attention their predecessors applied to the mills. Life here is measured in the thinning of the sap and the maintenance of the woodpile, a cycle that remains indifferent to the frantic demands of modern commerce. Farther afield, the rugged terrain offers passage toward the distant, cascading waters of Hamilton Falls or the winding paths of the Overlook Trail, ensuring that the wild, untamed character of the landscape remains the true master of the geography.

About This Wardsboro Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wardsboro, Vermont. Coordinates: 43.041746, -72.791208. 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 Wardsboro includes the ZIP code (05355), telephone area code (802), county seat of Windham County (Newfane), and school district assignment (River Valleys Unified School District 73).

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.
