Explore Ellisburg, 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 Ellisburg, 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 Ellisburg.
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.

Ellisburg defines the northern landscape with the persistent, silver-threaded presence of South Sandy Creek, which carves a path through the low-lying terrain before winding toward the distant, unseen depths of Renshaw Bay. It lies 20.1 miles southwest of Watertown, NY (from Watertown, NY: bearing 214°T), and is situated 12.1 miles north-northwest of Richland. The air here holds a peculiar, crisp weight, carrying the scent of damp earth and the quiet chill that precedes a northern winter, while the horizon remains flat and expansive, far removed from the shadowed ridges of the distant Appalachian Mountains. Within the boundaries of Ellisburg Village of Land, the earth transitions from dense woodland to open stretches of scrub and brush, creating a sanctuary where the light at dusk settles in long, pale ribbons across the fields. Only three miles away, the dark, still surface of Floodwood Pond offers a mirror to the shifting clouds, while the land itself remains tethered to the water, feeling the subtle, humid influence of the coastline just five miles to the west.
History in Ellisburg is written not in monuments, but in the enduring cycle of the seasons and the quiet persistence of those who work the soil and navigate the waterways. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the land, defined by the seasonal shifts that dictate the flow of South Sandy Creek and the productivity of the surrounding acreage. To the west, the presence of Carl Island and the proximity to Mooney Gulf remind inhabitants of a geography shaped by ancient, slow-moving forces rather than sudden change. Life here moves with the measured pace of a region accustomed to isolation, where the legacy of early settlement is found in the sturdy, unadorned architecture and the resilience of a populace that recognizes the land as both provider and master. In the quiet hours of the afternoon, one finds a stillness that feels absolute, an atmosphere where the modern world seems to recede, leaving only the sound of water moving over stone and the vast, unhurried sky above.

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.
