How to Use This Genesee Falls, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Genesee Falls, 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 Genesee Falls.
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.

ZIP codes: 14536, 14066.Genesee Falls occupies a landscape of quiet, agrarian permanence where the earth rises in slow, deliberate swells toward the distant silhouette of Cream Ridge. It lies 30.7 miles south of Batavia, NY (from Batavia, NY: bearing 169°T), and is situated 6.2 miles south-southeast of Gainesville. The air here carries the scent of damp loam and cooling stone, a crisp stillness that lingers long after the sun has retreated behind the tree line. East Koy Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the heavy clay soil, its current muted by the shade of hardwoods that dominate the local canopy. Nearby, the sheer, vertical presence of Letchworth State Park asserts itself against the horizon, grounding the region in a rugged, geological endurance that makes the passage of a human life feel like a brief, flickering shadow.
Genesee Falls remains a place where the economy is tethered to the slow, seasonal turn of the land, with weathered barns and open fields speaking to a legacy of hard-won cultivation. The proximity of the Upper Falls provides a constant, low-frequency hum, a reminder of the water’s persistent work in shaping the terrain over countless cycles of thaw and freeze. While the quietude suggests a world apart, the influence of the region’s history persists in the layout of the old roads and the stubborn, functional architecture of the homesteads. Life in Genesee Falls follows the rhythm of the harvest and the long, pale winters, maintaining a solitude that is rarely broken by the frantic pace of the wider world.

About This Genesee Falls Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Genesee Falls, New York. Coordinates: 42.561284, -78.076604. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Genesee Falls includes the ZIP code (14536, 14066), telephone area code (585, 716), county seat of Wyoming County (Warsaw), and school district assignment.
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.
