Explore Fairport, 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 Fairport, 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 Fairport.
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.

Fairport remains a place defined by the steady, deliberate passage of water through its center. It lies 1.3 miles north-northeast of Perinton, NY (from Perinton, NY: bearing 12°T), and is situated 9.6 miles east-southeast of Rochester. The Erie Canal serves as the primary artery of the landscape, its calm surface reflecting the changing sky as it winds directly through the heart of the village. Beyond the immediate water, the terrain stretches out toward the distant silhouette of Maple Ridge, which marks the horizon eighteen miles away. The air here carries a crisp, inland clarity, softened by the proximity of Irondequoit Bay, which rests just seven miles from the center point of the village. Residents often walk the paths of the Erie Canal, a protected corridor that anchors the outdoor life of the region.
Fairport grew from the necessity of trade and transit, evolving alongside the movement of goods that once defined the state’s internal economy. Early settlers recognized the value of the canal, which allowed local industries to flourish by connecting the village to wider markets and distant ports. Over the decades, the economy shifted from agricultural processing and milling to a diverse mix of professional services and small-scale manufacturing. The labor of past generations is still visible in the sturdy brick architecture that lines the streets, providing a solid foundation for the modern commercial district. Even as the nature of work has changed, the legacy of the canal remains a constant influence on the local rhythm of commerce and daily industry.
Fairport maintains a distinct cultural identity rooted in a quiet pride for its heritage and its public spaces. The village hosts seasonal gatherings that draw neighbors to the water’s edge, celebrating the vibrant communal life that persists throughout the year. Notable landmarks include the historic lift bridges that span the canal, serving as functional relics of a bygone age of engineering. While the village is a peaceful place, it has been home to individuals of genuine renown, including the influential author and social activist Alice Fulton, who spent formative years within this landscape. The cultural atmosphere is one of deliberate engagement, where the preservation of history is balanced by a focus on the shared experiences of its residents.

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.
