How to Use This Dresden Yates County, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Dresden Yates County, 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 Dresden Yates County.
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 Dresden Yates County, New York

ZIP code: 14441.Dresden Yates County reveals itself where the stillness of Seneca Lake meets the steady, purposeful current of the Keuka Lake Outlet. It lies 12.9 miles south of Geneva, NY (from Geneva, NY: bearing 176°T), and is situated 5.0 miles east-northeast of Penn Yan. The landscape here favors the long, low lines of the glacial plateau, where the horizon remains clear and the light at dusk turns the water into a sheet of hammered pewter. Beyond the immediate banks, the terrain rises into modest elevations that hold the heat of the day long after the sun dips below the western ridge. Residents of Dresden Yates County often find their footing in the quiet intersection of Village Of Dresden Land and the surrounding fields, where the air smells faintly of damp earth and the deep, cold clarity of the lake.
History remains anchored in the remnants of older industry, where the water once turned wheels and powered a life dictated by the changing seasons. The local economy persists through a quiet dedication to the land, reflecting a heritage built on the labor of those who cleared the timber and worked the soil long before modern machinery arrived. While the Appalachian Mountains remain a distant, hazy memory on the far horizon, the proximity to the Green Mountain National Forest-Hector Ranger District provides a constant, wooded backdrop to the east. Life moves at a pace set by the slow, deliberate work of the fields and the seasonal rhythm of the water, leaving little room for the clamor of the outside world to penetrate the peace of this inland life.

About This Dresden Yates County Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Dresden Yates County, New York. Coordinates: 42.6826, -76.959. 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 Dresden Yates County includes the ZIP code (14441), telephone area code (585), county seat of Yates County (Penn Yan), 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.
