Explore Fredonia, 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 Fredonia, 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 Fredonia.
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.

Fredonia anchors itself upon a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of the Canadaway Creek, which carves a path through the earth nearby. It lies 2.7 miles south of Dunkirk, NY (from Dunkirk, NY: bearing 178°T), and is situated 3.9 miles north-northeast of Pomfret. The inland terrain surrounding Fredonia reveals itself in subtle shifts of elevation, with the distant rise of Dibble Hill marking the horizon eight miles away. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the landscape deepens into the quietude of Dutch Hollow, where the land sinks into a soft, verdant basin. Residents often venture toward the Fredonia Reservoir to witness how the water holds the stillness of the afternoon sky. The proximity of Shumla Falls adds a rhythmic, percussive quality to the region, providing a natural cadence to the surrounding fields and woodlands.
Fredonia traces its heritage to the early nineteenth century, when the promise of fertile soil and available water power drew settlers to the banks of the Canadaway Creek. The local economy has long been tethered to the rhythms of the land, shifting from early agricultural pursuits to a focus on education and modern commerce. While much of the surrounding region remains defined by the harvest, the presence of institutions like the State University of New York at Fredonia helps maintain a steady intellectual current within the local industry. Prosperity here is measured not by grand industrial scale, but by the consistent application of labor in the fields and the classroom alike. The nearby State Reforestation Area serves as a reminder of the wood and fiber that once fueled the early expansion of the local economy.
Barker Commons remains the true center of social gravity in Fredonia, acting as a green, open stage for the daily movements of the people. This protected space serves as a gathering point where the pace of life slows to match the changing light filtering through the trees. Cultural life is punctuated by the annual Fredonia Farm Festival, an event that brings the surrounding agricultural heritage into the heart of the village. The writer and naturalist Roger Tory Peterson spent formative years here, his observations of the local environment reflecting the clarity of the air and the variety of life found in these inland tracts. Such individuals contribute to an atmosphere where intellectual curiosity is as much a part of the local identity as the seasonal cycle of the trees. Visitors often find that the stillness of the afternoon in the park leaves a lasting impression, grounding the observer in the quiet reality of the region.

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.
