Explore Elizabethtown, 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 Elizabethtown, 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 Elizabethtown.
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.

Elizabethtown emerges from the terrain as a quiet collection of structures anchored by the rigid, ancient presence of the landscape. It lies 12.1 miles southeast of Utica, NY (from Utica, NY: bearing 140°T), and is situated 4.0 miles south-southwest of Ilion. The air here carries a crisp, thin quality, cooling rapidly as the light fades behind the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains. To the immediate north, the topography sharpens into the narrow, shadowed depths of Passage Gulf, while the nearby Ilion Reservoir Number Two holds a stillness that mirrors the darkening sky. Steele Creek moves with a persistent, low murmur through the brush, carving a path through the earth that dictates the orientation of the surrounding woods. Within the Ilion Water Lands, the ground remains damp and heavy, fostering a dense, quiet ecosystem that feels entirely separate from the frantic pace of the wider world.
Elizabethtown retains a character defined by the slow, deliberate work of those who have long occupied these inland acres. The local economy persists through a measured reliance on the land and the modest commerce that supports the daily needs of its residents. History is less a written record and more a visible persistence of older foundations, where the utility of the original settlement continues to dictate the flow of modern life. There is a specific, muted color to the afternoons here, a pale gray light that softens the edges of the buildings and makes the passage of time feel both heavy and inconsequential. Life in Elizabethtown moves with the predictability of the seasons, maintaining a singular focus on the endurance of a place that prefers to remain apart from the noise of the outside world.

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.
