This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Chelsea, New York. 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 to zoom in and out.

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. 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 Chelsea.
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.

Chelsea, a borough of Manhattan, is an urban landscape defined by the persistent hum of a metropolis, yet possessing a distinctive character all its own. It lies 2.2 miles north of New York, NY (from New York, NY: bearing 6°T), and is situated 2.3 miles north of New York City. Its avenues, laid out in a grid that speaks of meticulous planning, are arteries carrying the city's ceaseless flow of life. Here, the Hudson River, a vast, shimmering expanse to the west, dictates a certain cadence, its waters reflecting the ever-changing New York sky, from the sharp, crystalline blue of midday to the bruised purples and fiery oranges of a departing sunset. The architecture ranges from the sturdy, utilitarian brick of former industrial buildings, now repurposed and alive with new endeavors, to the sleek, modern towers that pierce the sky, casting long, geometric shadows across the avenues. The air itself carries a unique blend – a salty tang from the river, the exhaust of countless vehicles, and a subtle, often overlooked, perfume of blossoms from the occasional rooftop garden or window box, a whisper of nature stubbornly persisting amidst the concrete. The history of Chelsea is a narrative of transformation, from its origins as farmland and country estates to its zenith as a center of industry and later, a vibrant hub for arts and culture. The former Chelsea Market, once a cavernous Nabisco factory, now stands as a testament to this evolution, a bustling emporium of artisanal foods and unique shops, its industrial bones softened by the lively chatter of its patrons. This area’s economic lifeblood, once powered by the booming garment trade and later by the burgeoning art galleries that flocked to its loft spaces, now pulses with a diverse rhythm, encompassing tech startups, media companies, and a thriving culinary scene. The High Line, a verdant ribbon of parkland reclaimed from an abandoned elevated railway, offers a unique perspective on Chelsea's ongoing narrative, a place where the city's past and present converge, a place where the ghosts of industry walk hand-in-hand with the vibrant energy of contemporary life.

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 — ensuring the correct Chelsea is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
