How to Use This Groton, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Groton, 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 Groton.
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 Groton, New York
Groton is a locality in Tompkins County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,145. The population density is 476.8 people per km². Groton is located at 42.5878°N, 76.3669°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. Groton is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 13073.Groton occupies a verdant stretch of the high plateau, where the Owasco Inlet carves a deliberate path through the landscape, defining the character of the soil and the flow of the local terrain. It lies 9.2 miles northeast of Lansing, NY (from Lansing, NY: bearing 39°T), and is situated 9.5 miles west of Cortland. The air here holds a crisp, inland clarity, often cooling quickly as the sun dips behind the ridge lines that roll toward the horizon. To the east, the dense timber of Summer Hill State Forest offers a deep, green silence, while the nearby Pleasant Valley provides a sheltered corridor for the winds that sweep across the fields. Within the immediate footprint of the village, Groton Memorial Park provides a quiet, manicured commons where the pace of the day slows to match the steady, rhythmic movement of the water nearby.
Industrial ambition once fueled the growth of Groton, leaving behind a legacy of manufacturing that shaped the architecture of its brick-faced streets and the sturdy, pragmatic spirit of its inhabitants. Though the world beyond has shifted, the quietude of these corridors remains, sustained by a local economy that balances lingering craftsmanship with the needs of a modern rural population. Beyond the village limits, the landscape opens into expansive farmsteads, punctuated by the stillness of Mud Pond several miles to the west. Travelers passing through may find the atmosphere quiet, yet there is a deliberate endurance in the way Groton maintains its identity, far from the influence of distant, jagged peaks like the Appalachian Mountains, finding its own beauty in the modest, hardworking geometry of the plains and the persistent, life-giving run of the inlet.

About This Groton Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Groton, New York. Coordinates: 42.587849, -76.366879. 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 Groton includes the ZIP code (13073), telephone area code (315), county seat of Tompkins County (Ithaca), and school district assignment (Groton Central School District).
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.
