How to Use This East Ithaca, New York Map

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

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 East Ithaca, New York

East Ithaca is a locality in Tompkins County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,175. The population density is 571.8 people per km². East Ithaca is located at 42.4245°N, 76.4587°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 14850.

East Ithaca occupies a landscape defined by the persistent, rhythmic cutting of Cascadilla Creek, which carves a deep, shadowed path through the rugged terrain. The air here holds a crisp, terrestrial weight, devoid of any maritime influence, as the ground rises toward the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains. Maplewood Park provides a quiet, green anchor for the neighborhood, its trees offering a dense canopy that filters the late afternoon light into fractured, golden shards against the earth. Two miles to the northwest, the vast, still surface of Cayuga Lake exerts a cooling pressure on the climate, tempering the transition between the humid summers and the long, snowy silence of the colder months.

Agriculture and the steady expansion of academic life have long dictated the pace of East Ithaca, grounding its development in the fertile soil and the intellectual hunger of the region. While the proximity to the university drives the local economy, the shadow of the past remains in the remnants of old orchards and the quietude of nearby Coy Glen, where the geology of the region is exposed in stark, stratified layers. Residents often find themselves moving between the modern demands of professional life and the enduring, wild character of the surrounding woods, such as the distant Yellow Barn State Forest. The rhythm of the day is measured not by the clock, but by the changing intensity of the sun hitting the limestone shelves and the seasonal fluctuations of the water levels in the creek beds that define the local topography.

About This East Ithaca Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of East Ithaca, New York. Coordinates: 42.424472, -76.458678. 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 East Ithaca includes the ZIP code (14850), telephone area code (607), county seat of Tompkins County (Ithaca), and school district assignment (Ithaca City 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.
