How to Use This Breesport, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Breesport, 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 Breesport.
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 Breesport, New York
Breesport is a locality in Chemung County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 629. The population density is 149.1 people per km². Breesport is located at 42.1840°N, 76.7359°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 14816, 14838.Breesport occupies a quiet expanse of land where the persistent, clear current of Jackson Creek carves a path through the valley floor. It lies 4.5 miles east of Horseheads, NY (from Horseheads, NY: bearing 84°T), and is situated 6.9 miles north-northeast of Elmira. The landscape is defined by the steady rise of terrain that eventually gives way to the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains on the horizon, a sharp contrast to the immediate proximity of the Town Of Horseheads Land which offers open space for local recreation. A mile away, the surface of Beaver Pond remains largely undisturbed, reflecting the shifting gray and amber hues of the sky as afternoon light fades. The air here holds a distinct, crisp quality, carrying the scent of damp earth and the subtle, sharp clarity of inland weather, far removed from the humid reach of any coastline.
Breesport retains the character of an early settlement that grew in step with the steady, modest pulse of regional industry and agriculture. While the economic rhythm of the area has evolved from its historical foundations, the presence of nearby Wildcat Hollow and the expansive greenery of Cliffside State Forest eight miles away continue to shape the daily life of those who live here. The pace is deliberate, marked by the cycles of the seasons and the maintenance of a landscape that prioritizes endurance over rapid change. In Breesport, the history is found in the quiet persistence of its land use and the way the shadows lengthen across the fields, suggesting a place that measures time not by the clock, but by the slow, seasonal transition of the woods and the unchanging flow of the water.

About This Breesport Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Breesport, New York. Coordinates: 42.184035, -76.735908. 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 Breesport includes the ZIP code (14816, 14838), telephone area code (607), county seat of Chemung County (Elmira), and school district assignment (Horseheads 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.
