Explore Lakemont, 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 Lakemont, 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 Lakemont.
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.

Lakemont occupies a tranquil stretch of land where the earth rises into gentle, fertile swells, defined by the deep, cool presence of Seneca Lake only a mile away. It lies 19.7 miles west-northwest of Tompkins, NY (from Tompkins, NY: bearing 282°T), and is situated 3.0 miles west-northwest of Hector. The landscape here is defined by long, quiet horizons and the persistent, slow-moving pulse of the Seneca River, which winds through the nearby lowlands with a steady, deliberate grace. To the west, the contours of Crystal Valley carve a soft depression into the terrain, offering a sheltered corridor where the morning light lingers against the slopes. Beyond the immediate fields and orchards, the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains anchor the western sky, providing a permanent, shadowed backdrop to the vast, open sky of the region.
Lakemont carries the weight of a quiet, agrarian heritage, its character shaped by generations who have worked the soil and looked to the land for their sustenance. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the seasons, with small-scale agriculture and the quiet industry of the surrounding countryside dictating the pace of daily existence. Residents often find their way toward the natural stillness of the Village Of Dundee Land, or venture toward the dramatic, rushing descent of Glenora Falls, where the water marks the passage of time against the ancient stone. Life in Lakemont moves with an unforced cadence, far removed from the frantic energy of the distant coastline, favoring instead the deep, shadowed silence of the Finger Lakes National Forest and the reflective, enduring beauty of a landscape that asks for nothing more than a steady hand and a patient gaze.

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.
