Explore Genoa, 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 Genoa, 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 Genoa.
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.

Genoa occupies a quiet expanse of plateau where the earth rises in slow, deliberate swells, defined largely by the persistent passage of Big Salmon Creek. It lies 13.0 miles north-northwest of Lansing, NY (from Lansing, NY: bearing 347°T), and is situated 14.5 miles north of Tompkins. The landscape surrounding Genoa maintains a meditative stillness, characterized by wide agricultural clearings that periodically yield to the dense, tangled undergrowth of Summer Hill State Forest just a short distance away. Sunlight here possesses a peculiar, thin clarity, often catching the pale, weathered siding of barns before fading into the deep, shadowed creases of the nearby terrain. To the west, the expansive, cool surface of Owasco Lake exerts a moderating influence on the climate, while the rugged, distant peaks of the Appalachian Mountains remain nothing more than a faint, jagged suggestion upon the horizon.
Genoa carries the weight of a long agrarian tradition, its economy tethered to the rhythmic cycles of planting and harvest that have defined the region since its early settlement. The land serves as a primary source of sustenance and industry, where the labor of the day is punctuated by the distant, muffled tumble of Parson Falls and the quiet isolation of The Gulf. Within the boundaries of Genoa, Town of Land, the pace of existence remains measured, favoring the endurance of heritage over the frantic pace of modern expansion. Local life finds its focus in the preservation of these rural habits, where the interaction between the deep, fertile soil and the persistent, flowing water of the creek creates a distinct, enduring identity grounded in the physical reality of the earth.

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.
