How to Use This Alexander, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Alexander, 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 Alexander.
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 Alexander, New York
Alexander is a locality in Genesee County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 518. The population density is 457.7 people per km². Alexander is located at 42.9012°N, 78.2567°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. Alexander is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 14005.Alexander possesses a landscape defined by the steady, deliberate movement of the Tonawanda Creek as it carves a path through the flat, fertile earth. It lies 7.6 miles south-southwest of Batavia, NY (from Batavia, NY: bearing 208°T), and is situated 4.7 miles east of Darien. The horizon remains wide and unobstructed, save for the distant, faint silhouette of the Limestone Ledge that anchors the view to the west. Within the immediate surroundings, the Village Of Alexander Land provides an open expanse of green that transitions into the quiet, agrarian fields characterizing this inland stretch of New York. The air here holds a crisp, consistent weight, carrying the scent of damp soil and the seasonal shift of a climate that favors thick, white winters over the humid, heavy heat of the coast.
Alexander retains a sense of purpose rooted in its long-standing connection to the surrounding farmland, where the economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the harvest and the stewardship of the soil. While the nearby Stevens Reservoir serves as a quiet center for local water life, the daily existence of the people moves at a pace dictated by the seasonal labor that has sustained these families for generations. The influence of the geography is felt in the architecture of the older buildings, constructed to withstand the biting winds that sweep across the plain from the direction of Smith Gulf. Whether one is passing the local markers of history or observing the light as it catches the spray at Johnson Falls, there is a clear, unadorned integrity to the way Alexander conducts its business, undisturbed by the frantic pace of the state’s urban centers.

About This Alexander Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Alexander, New York. Coordinates: 42.901171, -78.256683. 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 Alexander includes the ZIP code (14005), telephone area code (716), county seat of Genesee County (Batavia), and school district assignment (Alexander Central School District).
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.
