How to Use This Kirkwood, New York Map

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

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 Kirkwood, New York

Kirkwood is a locality in Broome County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 5,800. The population density is 120.0 people per km². Kirkwood is located at 42.5334°N, 77.4653°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 14826, 13795.

Kirkwood defines the landscape of the southern tier where the Susquehanna River carves a deliberate path through the verdant, inland terrain. It lies 7.4 miles east-southeast of Binghamton, NY (from Binghamton, NY: bearing 123°T), and is situated 9.8 miles east-southeast of Johnson City. The local topography is defined by the depth of Doubleday Glen, which anchors the immediate geography in a series of wooded inclines and sheltered hollows. While the Appalachian Mountains remain distant on the horizon, the earth here maintains a rugged, elevated character that rises steadily away from the riverbed. Sunlight often catches the moisture lifting off the water at dawn, casting a pale, silver light over the surrounding slopes. Residents find a quiet constancy in the way the seasons transform these hills, shifting from the deep greens of midsummer to the brittle, rustic browns of late autumn.

Kirkwood emerged as a crossroads where the necessity of transit shaped the early development of its regional economy. The presence of the Susquehanna River provided a natural artery for movement and trade that eventually transitioned into the modern infrastructure supporting local commerce and logistics. Industrial activity finds a practical home here, utilizing the accessible corridors that bypass the more restrictive terrain found deeper in the region. Many livelihoods are supported by businesses that leverage this connectivity, balancing the demands of transport with the steady pace of rural life. Beyond the immediate industrial sectors, the surrounding land continues to support small-scale agricultural efforts that have persisted through generations of change.

Cultural life in Kirkwood centers on the shared appreciation for the outdoors, often drawing people toward the quiet expanses of River Park. This space provides a local gathering point that reflects the community's preference for simple, unadorned recreation rather than the noise of larger urban centers. While Mingo Lake sits a short distance away to offer a reflective, still alternative to the moving water of the river, the spirit of the place remains firmly rooted in its terrestrial character. The rhythm of the day is marked by the movement of the wind through the trees and the occasional distant rumble of heavy freight on the regional transit routes. Though the area remains modest in its public profile, it maintains a distinct identity built upon the endurance of its people and the quiet gravity of its landscape.

About This Kirkwood Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Kirkwood, New York. Coordinates: 42.533402, -77.465265. 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 Kirkwood includes the ZIP code (14826, 13795), telephone area code (607), county seat of Broome County (Binghamton), 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.
