How to Use This Belfast, New York Map

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

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 Belfast, New York

Belfast is a locality in Allegany County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 745. The population density is 185.8 people per km². Belfast is located at 42.3428°N, 78.1114°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 14711.

Belfast occupies a quiet stretch of land where the persistent, silver-threaded Genesee River carves its path through the earth, defining the very rhythm of the valley. It lies 24.5 miles northeast of Olean, NY (from Olean, NY: bearing 42°T), and is situated 3.7 miles southeast of Caneadea. Sunlight catches the moisture rising from the riverbed at dawn, casting a soft, pearlescent glow over the fields that transition into the deeper, shadowed folds of the landscape. To the north, the terrain rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Cream Ridge, while the nearby expanse of Town Of Belfast Land offers a sanctuary of uncultivated quietude. A few miles away, the stillness of Rockville Lake provides a counterpoint to the moving water, and the distant, deeper terrain of Nineteen Gully reminds the traveler of the ancient, slow-moving forces that shaped this topography.

Belfast grew from a heritage of industry and agricultural labor, its character forged by the steady hands of those who worked the soil and navigated the local currents. The economy here remains tethered to the land, reflecting a history of small-scale production and a deliberate, measured pace of life that persists despite the changing seasons. Residents move through their days with a familiar awareness of the climate, where the long, crisp winters demand a certain endurance and the brief, lush summers reward the patient. There is a distinct, understated beauty in the way the local architecture sits against the horizon, a collection of homes and structures that seem to acknowledge the vast, inland sky above them, keeping a steady watch over the quiet activity of the daily commute and the evening descent of light.

About This Belfast Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Belfast, New York. Coordinates: 42.342844, -78.111398. 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 Belfast includes the ZIP code (14711), telephone area code (607), county seat of Allegany County (Belmont), and school district assignment (Belfast 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.
