Explore Jacksonville, 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 Jacksonville, 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 Jacksonville.
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.

Jacksonville anchors itself upon a high, verdant plateau where the horizon is defined by the slow, seasonal pulse of the surrounding agricultural expanse. It lies 4.9 miles northwest of Tompkins, NY (from Tompkins, NY: bearing 316°T), and is situated 7.6 miles northwest of Ithaca. The air here holds a crisp, earthen clarity, often carrying the scent of damp soil from Cold Spring Branch as it carves its way through the nearby landscape. To the east, the deep, glacial waters of Cayuga Lake reflect the shifting moods of the sky, while the terrain transitions into the rugged, shadowed depths of Esty Glen. Only a short distance away, the sheer, vertical rock faces of Taughannock Falls drop into a basin that has witnessed the relentless passage of water for millennia. This topography provides a quiet theater for the changing light, which catches the high canopy of the Finger Lakes National Forest, casting long, violet shadows across the fields as the sun retreats behind the western ridge.
Jacksonville maintains a rhythm defined by its long-standing connection to the land and the quiet industry of its residents. The local economy persists in a modest, steady alignment with the cycles of the seasons, honoring a history of independent farming that once flourished in these fertile uplands. Beyond the quiet lanes, the presence of Taughannock Falls State Park draws those who seek the singular, austere beauty of the gorge, a reminder of the raw, geological forces that shaped the region long before modern roads were laid. Explorers occasionally wander toward the Potomac Trail to traverse the quiet woods, finding a solitude that remains largely undisturbed by the frantic pace of the world outside. In Jacksonville, the days pass with an unforced gravity, where the weight of the past is measured not in monuments, but in the enduring character of the fields and the persistent, murmuring flow of the local creeks.

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.
