Explore Bolivar, 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 Bolivar, 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 Bolivar.
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.

Bolivar claims a quiet portion of the landscape where the steady, rhythmic pulse of Little Genesee Creek defines the lowlands. It lies 13.5 miles east of Olean, NY (from Olean, NY: bearing 93°T), and is situated 11.9 miles west-southwest of Wellsville. The earth here rises into the modest, steady slopes of Richburg Hill, breaking the horizon with a profile that feels both ancient and enduring. Within the bounds of the Village Of Bolivar Land, the air carries a crisp, inland quality, sharpening the edges of the trees as they climb toward the crests of the surrounding terrain. To the north, the terrain dips into the quiet shadows of Foreman Hollow, where the light at dusk settles in heavy, golden layers, muffling the sound of the wind as it moves through the brush.
Bolivar carries the weight of a history shaped by the deep, subterranean pulse of oil, a legacy that once pulled the industry of the nation toward these hills and left behind a distinct, industrious character. While the derricks have long since faded from the skyline, the economy remains rooted in the resilience of a people who have learned to thrive in the deliberate, slow-moving pace of this inland corridor. Life here is measured by the changing seasons and the proximity to the quiet waters of Cuba Lake, rather than the frantic demands of more crowded regions. Residents move with a focused intent, keeping the memory of the past alive in the architecture of the streets, while the quietude of the land persists, indifferent to the shifting trends of the modern world.

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.
