How to Use This Clifton Springs, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Clifton Springs, 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 Clifton Springs.
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.

ZIP code: 14432.Clifton Springs occupies a gentle basin where the low, steady pulse of the landscape is dictated by the passage of Sulphur Creek. It lies 9.6 miles northeast of Canandaigua, NY (from Canandaigua, NY: bearing 51°T), and is situated 6.3 miles south-southwest of Newark. The water moves with a mineral-rich clarity, carving a path through the earth that defines the orientation of the streets and the quiet, deliberate pace of the morning light. Beyond the immediate banks, the horizon is held by the distant, hazy silhouette of Maple Ridge, a dark line that anchors the view against the pale, expansive sky. Spring Street Park serves as a central clearing, a patch of green that gathers the cool air and offers a place for the town to exhale, while the nearby Newark Reservoir remains a silent, reflective presence that holds the sky in its still surface.
Clifton Springs emerged from the earth’s own chemistry, built upon the reputation of the springs that once drew travelers seeking the restorative quiet of the inland air. The local economy has shifted from the grand era of the sanitarium to a modern rhythm of small-scale enterprise, yet the architecture retains the dignity of that earlier ambition, with brick facades and wide porches that suggest a time when the pace of life was measured by the arrival of the afternoon train. While the distant, shimmering expanse of The Wide Waters remains a reminder of the broader geography beyond the town’s borders, the daily life of Clifton Springs remains tethered to the intimate scale of its own streets. There is a perceptible weight to the history here, felt in the way the shadows lengthen across the pavement at dusk and the manner in which the neighborhood holds onto the stillness, undisturbed by the frantic motion of the world outside.

About This Clifton Springs Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Clifton Springs, New York. Coordinates: 42.96173, -77.139976. 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 Clifton Springs includes the ZIP code (14432), telephone area code (585), county seat of Ontario County (Canandaigua), and school district assignment (Phelps-Clifton Springs 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.
