Explore Harford, 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 Harford, 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 Harford.
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.

Harford defines a landscape of quiet, agrarian persistence, where the earth rises and falls in long, muscular swells that suggest the slow, deliberate work of ancient glaciers. It lies 12.3 miles south of Cortland, NY (from Cortland, NY: bearing 191°T), and is situated 6.1 miles south-southwest of Virgil. The horizon remains uncluttered by the jagged heights of the Appalachian Mountains, which loom nearly a hundred miles away, leaving the immediate view to the intimate, low-slung geography of Babcock Hollow and the dense, shadowed canopy of Robinson Hollow State Forest. Sunlight here possesses a particular clarity, catching the edges of the fields in a way that turns the late-afternoon stubble into a field of burnished copper. A few miles to the west, the surface of Dryden Lake reflects the changing moods of the sky, serving as a silent witness to the stillness that settles over the land as the sun dips below the ridgeline.
Harford maintains a rhythm dictated by the seasons and the persistent, cool flow of the East Branch Owego Creek, which cuts a narrow, vital artery through the surrounding acreage. The history of the area is etched into the very soil, a legacy of land use that continues through the Harford Town of Land, which preserves the pastoral character that has long defined the local economy. While the world beyond moves with a frantic, industrial pulse, the pace here is measured by the turn of the harvest and the maintenance of homesteads that have stood for generations. Life in Harford feels like a steady, low-frequency hum, a testament to a place that asks for little attention but demands a deep, respectful observation of its modest, enduring beauty.

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.
