Explore Hornell, 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 Hornell, 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 Hornell.
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.

Hornell emerges from the landscape as a distinct center of activity defined by the persistent flow of the Canacadea Creek. It lies 33.6 miles west-northwest of Corning, NY (from Corning, NY: bearing 293°T), and is situated 2.5 miles east of Hornellsville. This waterway carves a path through the valley floor, providing a rhythmic accompaniment to the daily life of the residents who inhabit the surrounding terrain. To the north, the expanse of the Hornell City Lands offers a quiet sanctuary for those seeking the stillness of woodland paths. The proximity of Almond Lake, located only three miles away, provides a reflective quality to the local environment, especially when the afternoon light catches the surface of the water. Beyond the immediate vicinity, the distant silhouette of Norway Ridge marks the edge of the horizon, grounding the region in a vast, stable geography.
Hornell maintains a deep connection to its past, which remains visible in the architecture that lines its central corridors. The local economy was long anchored by the presence of significant rail infrastructure, a legacy that continues to influence the industrial character of the region today. Workshops and manufacturing facilities occupy the space where the rhythmic clatter of trains once defined the pulse of the local labor force. Beyond the industrial sector, the proximity of Hungry Hollow serves as a reminder of the varied topography that has shaped settlement patterns and land use for generations. This history of production lends a resilient, practical temperament to the local population, who value the steady nature of their ongoing enterprises.
Cultural life in Hornell is marked by a communal dedication to local traditions and the maintenance of shared public spaces. During the autumn months, the air grows crisp and clear, cooling the valley and highlighting the changing colors of the foliage that blankets the regional slopes. Notable landmarks include the various civic structures that serve as focal points for gatherings and seasonal festivities. While individuals of broad fame are rare in such a localized setting, the town honors the contributions of its residents through active participation in regional sports and community-led events. These activities foster a recognizable identity, one that remains rooted in the specific interaction between the people and the land they occupy.

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.
