Explore Frankfort, 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 Frankfort, 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 Frankfort.
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.

Frankfort occupies a modest stretch of land defined by the persistent, rhythmic cutting of Moyer Creek, which flows with a steady, deliberate energy toward the wider basin. It lies 9.2 miles east-southeast of Utica, NY (from Utica, NY: bearing 118°T), and is situated 2.4 miles northwest of Ilion. The air here holds a crisp, terrestrial weight, devoid of any maritime influence, as the landscape rises into the verdant, deep-rooted shadows of the nearby Frankfort Gorge. Sunlight catches the silt-heavy water of the creek, casting a flickering, metallic sheen against the banks where the Village Of Frankfort Land provides a quiet, open expanse for the community to gather. Beyond the immediate terrain, the silhouette of the distant Appalachian Mountains marks the horizon, a hazy reminder of the vast, landlocked geography that anchors the region in a permanent, inland stillness.
Frankfort maintains an identity forged through generations of industrial labor and the quiet persistence of agricultural trade, reflecting a history tied to the movement of goods and the development of the valley floor. While the economy has evolved from its earlier manufacturing roots, the town retains a focused, unpretentious character, where daily life follows the reliable patterns of the seasons rather than the frantic pace of the metropolis. Residents often look toward the calmer waters of Ilion Reservoir Number One for a sense of reprieve, finding a particular beauty in how the autumn light flattens against the surface of the water. Life in Frankfort remains grounded in these steady, local rhythms, where the influence of the surrounding woodlands and the memory of the forge continue to shape the outlook of those who call the valley home.

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.
