How to Use This Alder Creek, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Alder Creek, 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. Drag the map to pan to any area of New York 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 Alder Creek.
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.

ZIP code: 13301.Alder Creek emerges as a quiet confluence of woodland and water, where the eponymous Alder Creek meanders through a landscape defined by the steady, unyielding presence of the inland interior. It lies 18.5 miles northeast of Rome, NY (from Rome, NY: bearing 38°T), and is situated 9.7 miles northeast of Western. The air here holds a crisp, earthen weight, cooling rapidly as dusk settles over the fields and the nearby Forestport Reservoir, which mirrors the bruised purples and deep grays of the evening sky. Beyond the immediate periphery, the distant silhouette of the Adirondack Mountains rises against the horizon like a jagged, ink-brushed border. The terrain is marked by the persistent influence of the northern climate, with the nearby Crandall Falls providing a rhythmic, percussive pulse to the stillness of the surrounding woods.
Alder Creek carries the quiet gravity of a place shaped by the industry of timber and the slow, deliberate pace of rural life. The local economy remains tethered to the land, echoing the heritage of those who first cleared these tracts, while the proximity to the Forestport, Town of Land serves as a reminder of the region’s commitment to preserving its wilder edges. Travelers seeking the solitude of the interior might venture toward the Stone Dam Trail or navigate the rugged terrain leading toward the depths of Trenton Chasm, yet the true character of Alder Creek persists in the modest, sturdy architecture of its buildings and the resilience of its people. Life here moves with the seasons, from the deep, insulating snows of winter to the fleeting, vibrant green of a short northern summer, maintaining a singular focus on the endurance of the local landscape.

About This Alder Creek Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Alder Creek, New York. Coordinates: 43.423402, -75.227945. 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 Alder Creek includes the ZIP code (13301), telephone area code (315), county seat of Oneida County (Utica), 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.
