How to Use This Downsville, New York Map

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

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 Downsville, New York

Downsville is a locality in Delaware County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 474. The population density is 41.7 people per km². Downsville is located at 42.0809°N, 74.9957°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 13755.

Downsville emerges from the confluence of steep, wooded slopes where the clear, steady current of the Downs Brook carves a path through the quiet earth. It lies 25.9 miles south of Oneonta, NY (from Oneonta, NY: bearing 172°T), and is situated 9.2 miles southeast of Walton. The landscape is defined by the deep, narrow folds of Wilson Hollow, a geological basin that gathers the evening mist and holds the cool, damp air of the inland night. Only a mile away, the expansive surface of the Pepacton Reservoir reflects the shifting gray and slate tones of the sky, acting as a silent, artificial anchor for the surrounding terrain. To the distant horizon, the rugged spine of the Appalachian Mountains provides a permanent, jagged boundary to the world, framing a landscape that feels ancient and indifferent to the passing of seasons.

Downsville maintains a deliberate, measured pace of life that persists within the quiet boundaries of the Downsville Water District Lands. The local economy has long been shaped by the rugged demands of the interior, transitioning from the early extraction of timber to a modern stewardship of the land that respects its natural, forested character. Unlike the dense, frantic energy of the state’s urban centers, the rhythm here is governed by the turning of the woods and the cold, seasonal shifts of the Delaware State Forest, which waits nineteen miles to the south. Life in Downsville is marked by the presence of the water, the endurance of the hollows, and a persistent, quiet resolve that has kept the settlement rooted in these hills for generations.

About This Downsville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Downsville, New York. Coordinates: 42.08092, -74.99572. 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 Downsville includes the ZIP code (13755), telephone area code (607), county seat of Delaware County (Delhi), and school district assignment (Downsville 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.
