How to Use This Collins Center, New York Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Collins Center, 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 Collins Center.

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 Collins Center, New York

Collins Center is a locality in Erie County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 18.0 people per km². Collins Center is located at 42.4937°N, 78.8514°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 14035.

Collins Center maintains a quiet presence amidst the expansive, fertile plains of Western New York, where the horizon often feels as wide and steady as the earth beneath it. It lies 13.9 miles south-southeast of Evans, NY (from Evans, NY: bearing 148°T), and is situated 3.5 miles east of Collins. Clear Creek carves a deliberate path through the landscape, its waters flowing with a rhythmic persistence that defines the local topography. Beyond the immediate fields, the terrain rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Cream Ridge, a reminder of the geologic shifts that shaped this inland expanse. The air here holds a crisp, clean weight, particularly as the light of late afternoon settles over the Town Playground Land, casting long, lean shadows across the grass.

Agriculture has long governed the temperament of Collins Center, anchoring the lives of its inhabitants to the seasonal cycles of planting and harvest. The proximity of the rugged Zoar Valley offers a stark contrast to the managed, orderly fields that characterize the local economy, providing a wilder, more vertical dimension to the regional geography. While the Erie County Reforestation Area stands thirteen miles away as a testament to regional conservation, the daily life of Collins Center remains focused on the immediate, practical necessities of a rural pace. Even the distant, shimmering surface of Silver Creek Reservoir remains a secondary concern to the people here, who find their own sense of place in the steady, unadorned work of the land and the quiet endurance of their neighbors.

About This Collins Center Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Collins Center, New York. Coordinates: 42.493672, -78.851421. 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 Collins Center includes the ZIP code (14035), telephone area code (716), county seat of Erie County (Buffalo), and school district assignment.

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.
