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

About Genesee, New York
Genesee is a locality in Genesee County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 12.0 people per km². Genesee is located at 42.9838°N, 78.1564°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 14020, 14454.Genesee unfolds across a landscape of quiet, expansive fields where the horizon possesses a clarity that makes the late afternoon light seem to linger with particular weight against the timberlines. It lies 1.9 miles east-southeast of Batavia, NY (from Batavia, NY: bearing 122°T), and is situated 8.7 miles west of Le Roy. The topography is defined by the subtle, earthbound elevation of Temperance Hill, which breaks the monotony of the flatlands, while the moisture-rich air carries the faint, cool scent of the nearby Tonawanda Creek. A short distance away, the deeper silence of Woodchuck Hole marks a shift in the terrain, offering a sheltered pocket of land that contrasts with the open, wind-swept expanses of the surrounding acreage. Throughout the day, the atmosphere maintains a crisp, inland stillness, undisturbed by the distant, rhythmic hum of progress that defines the broader region.
Genesee maintains a steady, deliberate pace of life, rooted in a history of agricultural industry that continues to shape the character of the soil and the people who work it. The economy remains tethered to the land, with the City Of Batavia Land providing a communal anchor that preserves the open character of the territory against the encroachment of modern development. Residents often look toward Mill Pond when the seasons turn, finding in its slow, inland waters a reflection of the town’s own endurance. There is a singular, unadorned quality to the way the local life organizes itself here, favoring the reliability of long-standing traditions over the frantic pace of more densely populated corridors.

About This Genesee Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Genesee, New York. Coordinates: 42.983784, -78.156443. 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 includes the ZIP code (14020, 14454), telephone area code (716, 585), county seat of Genesee County (Batavia), 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.
