Explore Binghamton, New York, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Binghamton, 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 Binghamton.
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.

Binghamton emerges from the confluence of water and earth as a landscape defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of the Chenango River. It lies 2.4 miles east-southeast of Johnson City, NY (from Johnson City, NY: bearing 119°T), and is situated 7.0 miles east of Vestal. The geography of Binghamton remains grounded in the expansive, verdant reach of the Chenango Valley, where the morning mist clings to the lowlands before the sun clears the horizon. While the distant Appalachian Mountains provide a jagged, hazy silhouette to the south, the immediate environment is defined by the intimate scale of the City Of Binghamton Land, a local preserve that offers a quiet sanctuary for those seeking the stillness of the woods. The air here holds a crisp, terrestrial weight, unburdened by the dampness of the coast, and the light at dusk often catches the silvered surface of the Chenango River as it winds through the center of the terrain.
Settlement in Binghamton began as a calculated endeavor, with early pioneers recognizing the inherent value of the fertile soil and the strategic advantage of the river junction. The growth of Binghamton was shaped by the influx of visionaries and laborers who sought to harness the power of the land, turning the valley into a hub for enterprise and industry. Over the decades, the historical narrative of Binghamton has been marked by a transition from agricultural roots to a center of manufacturing innovation, leaving behind a collection of enduring brick architecture that speaks to the ambition of its founders. Even now, one can sense the echoes of this industrious past in the sturdy, deliberate design of the older districts, where the architecture feels as permanent as the bedrock beneath the valley floor.
Modern Binghamton functions as a vital node of commerce and education, anchored by the presence of Binghamton University, which brings a persistent pulse of intellectual energy to the region. The economy of Binghamton benefits from a diverse base that includes health services and specialized manufacturing, supported by a network of infrastructure that links the valley to the wider interior of the state. Beyond the immediate bustle of commerce, residents often seek reprieve in the proximity of Tracy Creek State Forest, a dense woodland that provides a sharp contrast to the paved corridors of the town. For those seeking the quiet clarity of still water, Agwaterra Pond serves as a local destination where the water mirrors the shifting colors of the canopy throughout the changing seasons.
The cultural life of Binghamton is vibrant, punctuated by annual festivals that celebrate the creative output of the region and the enduring traditions of its people. Binghamton hosts a variety of collegiate sports that draw the community together, fostering a spirit of camaraderie that fills the local venues with a palpable, electric anticipation. The landmarks of Binghamton, including its historic carousel installations, serve as nostalgic touchstones that anchor the social experience of the inhabitants. Famous individuals such as the musician Fiona Apple have roots here, lending a thread of artistic notoriety to the local story, yet the true character of the place is found in the everyday interactions of its citizens. The atmosphere remains one of focused resilience, where the seasonal cycle of the valley dictates a rhythm that is both orderly and deeply connected to the land.

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.
