Explore Gloversville, 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 Gloversville, 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 Gloversville.
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.

Gloversville commands a position upon the rugged, inland terrain of upstate New York, where the quiet persistence of the land defines the horizon. It lies 11.1 miles northwest of Amsterdam, NY (from Amsterdam, NY: bearing 315°T), and is situated 3.4 miles north-northeast of Johnstown. The Cayadutta Creek carves a persistent path through the local landscape, serving as a constant companion to the streets that climb the slopes above its banks. Only a short distance away, the Ayres Hill Storage Reservoir holds a glassy stillness that mirrors the changing seasons. The distant Adirondack Mountains rise against the northern sky like a jagged, blue-tinted promise of wilder territory. To the south, the deep depression of Hell Hollow suggests the ancient, glacial movements that shaped this earth. Within the immediate vicinity, Gloversville Urban Land provides an accessible expanse of open space for those who walk the quiet paths of the region.
Gloversville earned its enduring identity through the industrious hands of those who mastered the craft of leather and fine glove production. This singular focus on manufacturing transformed the local economy for generations, drawing skilled artisans who built their lives around the rhythmic hum of factory machinery. While the tides of global industry have shifted, the architecture of the early workshops remains as a physical record of the prosperity once found here. The legacy of these trades lingers in the sturdy brick facades that line the central thoroughfares, standing as a testament to the labor that built the foundation of the local economy. Today, the work shifts toward a diverse range of smaller enterprises, yet the spirit of production remains a core element of the local character. The quiet determination of those who remain ensures that the history of the trade is not forgotten by the newer residents who now occupy these classic buildings.
Cultural life in Gloversville finds its expression in the communal gatherings and the preservation of historic spaces that anchor the daily routine. The annual festivals and local markets offer a glimpse into the social fabric, where neighbors congregate to celebrate the simple shifts in the weather and the turning of the leaves. Notable landmarks like the local theaters and civic centers serve as gathering points for those interested in the arts and community dialogue. Residents often point to the contributions of individuals like actress Margaret Sullavan, who spent her formative years in the region before achieving acclaim on the silver screen. Beyond the town limits, the cascading waters of Buttermilk Falls provide a natural retreat for those seeking the restorative sound of moving water. Life here moves at a deliberate pace, colored by the crisp clarity of the air and the profound stillness that settles over the land as the sun dips below the hills.

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.
