How to Use This Hillcrest, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Hillcrest, 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 Hillcrest.
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 Hillcrest, New York
Hillcrest is a locality in Allegany County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 8,164. The population density is 2424.7 people per km². Hillcrest is located at 41.1298°N, 74.0350°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 14717, 10977.Hillcrest occupies a landscape defined by the persistent, rhythmic cutting of Caneadea Creek, which carves through the earth with a quiet, persistent gravity. It lies 23.8 miles north-northeast of Olean, NY (from Olean, NY: bearing 29°T), and is situated 2.7 miles west of Caneadea. The terrain surrounding Hillcrest holds the stillness of the interior, where the land rises into modest, wooded swells that gather shadows long before the sun dips below the horizon. Rushford Lake provides a singular, expansive stillness at the edge of the property, its surface reflecting the overcast sky in shades of pewter and slate. During the colder months, the air grows thin and sharp, carrying the scent of damp bark and dormant soil, while the proximity to Rushford Lake Recreation Lands ensures that the surrounding woods remain a sanctuary for the persistent growth of hemlock and maple.
Hillcrest maintains a quiet adherence to the patterns of the land, shaped by a history of agrarian labor and the slow, necessary movement of resources through these inland reaches. The local economy persists in the steady work of small-scale stewardship, where the labor of the day mirrors the patient, unhurried pace of the water moving through the creek bed. While the distance to Rawson Valley creates a sense of seclusion, the people here find a certain clarity in the isolation, away from the frantic noise of more crowded places. Life in Hillcrest is measured by the changing light upon the fields and the seasonal maintenance of the infrastructure that keeps the region tethered to its roots, leaving the inhabitants to navigate the quietude of a landscape that demands little but provides a profound, grounded sense of belonging.

About This Hillcrest Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hillcrest, New York. Coordinates: 41.129821, -74.035032. 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 Hillcrest includes the ZIP code (14717, 10977), telephone area code (607, 914), county seat of Allegany County (Belmont), and school district assignment (East Ramapo Central School District (Spring Valley)).
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.
