Explore Dansville, 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 Dansville, 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 Dansville.
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.

Dansville occupies a sheltered basin where the landscape gathers its strength from the persistent, winding course of Mud Creek. It lies 30.0 miles southwest of Canandaigua, NY (from Canandaigua, NY: bearing 224°T), and is situated 0.4 miles west-northwest of North Dansville. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the terrain rises into steep, verdant inclines that seem to hold the light of late afternoon in a long, golden suspension, casting shadows toward the deep recesses of Whiteman Gully. The air here carries a crisp, terrestrial weight, devoid of any maritime influence, as the earth rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Cream Ridge that anchors the horizon. Residents often find their way to Church Square Park, a quiet center of green space where the pace of the day slows to match the movement of the clouds over the valley floor. Those seeking the movement of water often venture toward Stone Falls, where the descent of the stream creates a constant, rhythmic percussion against the stone, or toward the stillness of Daybrook Pond, which sits in quiet isolation a few miles removed from the main thoroughfare.
Dansville emerged from a legacy of agriculture and health-focused enterprise, its development long defined by the fertile soil of the surrounding plains and the industry of its early inhabitants. The local economy has shifted through the decades, reflecting a resilient character that favors steady, grounded labor over the volatile shifts of larger urban centers. Historic structures remain as evidence of a time when the locality became a destination for those seeking restoration, their brick facades and high windows catching the morning sun in a way that suggests a quiet, enduring pride. Even now, the rhythm of life in Dansville remains tethered to the changing seasons, marked by the transformation of the woods and the harvest cycles that define the regional calendar. There is a perceptible dignity in the way the local streets maintain their orientation toward the valley, ensuring that the history of the place remains visible in the architecture and the deliberate, unhurried conduct of its daily affairs.

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.
