How to Use This Hume, New York Map

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

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 Hume, New York

Hume is a locality in Allegany County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,800. The population density is 22.0 people per km². Hume is located at 42.4728°N, 78.1364°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 14735, 14745.

Hume occupies a quiet stretch of land where the landscape is defined by the persistent, rhythmic movement of Cold Creek as it carves through the earth. It lies 31.2 miles north-northeast of Olean, NY (from Olean, NY: bearing 29°T), and is situated 6.0 miles north of Caneadea. The terrain rises into modest, weathered elevations, with the silhouette of Swift Hill marking the horizon as a constant, immovable point of reference. Within the boundaries of the Town of Hume Land, the vegetation shifts from dense patches of timber to open, cultivated fields that reflect the changing temperament of the sky. The atmosphere here is marked by a particular clarity at dusk, when the low light flattens the shadows against the soil, revealing the subtle, uneven grain of the countryside that remains undisturbed by the frantic pace of larger, more crowded places.

History in Hume is written in the slow transition from early settlement to an economy grounded in the quiet productivity of the land. While the region is removed from the busier corridors of the state, the proximity to Rushford Lake provides a local focus for the intersection of land and water. The economy remains tethered to the rhythms of agriculture and the maintenance of the rural infrastructure that has sustained the area for generations. Residents move through their days with a steady, deliberate focus, their lives shaped by the seasonal requirements of the soil and the persistent, low-frequency hum of a landscape that demands little but provides a profound, grounded stillness to those who inhabit it.

About This Hume Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hume, New York. Coordinates: 42.472842, -78.136398. 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 Hume includes the ZIP code (14735, 14745), telephone area code (607), county seat of Allegany County (Belmont), and school district assignment.

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.
