Explore Cattaraugus, 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 Cattaraugus, 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 Cattaraugus.
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.

Cattaraugus occupies a landscape defined by the deliberate, quiet shifts of the earth, where the elevation rises toward the modest summit of Carroll Hill. It lies 24.0 miles south-southeast of Evans, NY (from Evans, NY: bearing 164°T), and is situated 9.9 miles south-southeast of Gowanda. A singular stillness prevails here, broken only by the movement of the South Branch Cattaraugus Creek, which carves a path through the terrain just a mile away. Beyond the immediate reach of the village, the land deepens into the shaded recesses of Waite Hollow, while the nearby Harry E Dobbins Memorial State Forest offers a dense canopy that turns a deep, bruised violet as the sun retreats. The air here holds a crisp, persistent chill, carrying the scent of damp soil and ancient timber, and the light at dusk has a way of lingering, gilding the fence lines and the edges of the Village of Cattaraugus Land with a pale, amber clarity.
Cattaraugus emerged from the necessity of the frontier, its growth inextricably linked to the timber industry and the expansion of the rail lines that once pulsed through this region. The economy has transitioned from the heavy labor of the sawmills to a more tempered reliance on local agriculture and the steady, quiet commerce of those who favor the seclusion of the interior. Though the sprawling Allegheny Reservoir lies thirteen miles away, the life of the inhabitants remains tethered to the immediate rhythms of the woods and the seasonal cycles of the fields. There is a perceptible dignity in how the buildings stand against the elements, their weathered siding and sturdy frames reflecting a history of endurance. Life here moves with a thoughtful, measured pace, grounded in the reality of the seasons and the enduring presence of the landscape that surrounds the residents on every side.

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.
