How to Use This Gorham, New York Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Gorham, 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 Gorham.

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 Gorham, New York

Gorham is a locality in Ontario County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 604. The population density is 115.8 people per km². Gorham is located at 42.7990°N, 77.1316°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 14561, 14461.

Gorham rises from the fertile soil of the Ontario County plains, defined by the steady, unhurried passage of Flint Creek as it carves a path through the landscape. It lies 9.2 miles west-southwest of Geneva, NY (from Geneva, NY: bearing 238°T), and is situated 9.5 miles east-southeast of Canandaigua. The earth here holds a quiet density, marked by the Town of Gorham Land where the wilder edges of the terrain offer a reprieve from the manicured rows of corn and alfalfa. Seven miles to the west, the deep, cool basin of Canandaigua Lake exerts a subtle pressure on the climate, tempering the bite of winter and bathing the fields in a soft, silver-gray light during the early mornings. The horizon remains vast and unobstructed, save for the distant, hazy suggestion of the Appalachian Mountains, which anchor the view far to the south and remind the observer of the immense, rolling geological scale of the region.

Agriculture remains the pulse of Gorham, manifesting in the rhythmic seasonal cycles of planting and harvest that dictate the pace of life for those who work the heavy silt loams. This local economy finds its roots in a long history of stewardship, where the labor of generations has smoothed the ridges and bolstered the productivity of the acreage. The presence of Gage Gully, seven miles away, hints at the ancient, erosive forces that shaped these productive flats, grounding the locality in a deep, physical past. In the quiet hours of the afternoon, the wind carries the scent of damp earth and drying hay, a sensory signature that defines the character of the place far more than any singular landmark or monument ever could.

About This Gorham Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Gorham, New York. Coordinates: 42.798956, -77.13164. 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 Gorham includes the ZIP code (14561, 14461), telephone area code (585), county seat of Ontario County (Canandaigua), and school district assignment (Gorham-Middlesex Central School District (Marcus Whitman)).

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.
