How to Use This Lime Lake, New York Map

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

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 Lime Lake, New York

Lime Lake is a locality in Cattaraugus County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 836. The population density is 135.7 people per km². Lime Lake is located at 42.4345°N, 78.4797°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 14042.

Lime Lake holds the quiet, glaciated weight of the interior plateau, its surface often mirroring the heavy, slate-colored skies that characterize this inland reach of the state. It lies 24.4 miles south-southeast of Ellicott, NY (from Ellicott, NY: bearing 148°T), and is situated 7.5 miles south of Sardinia. The Lime Lake Outlet slips away from the southern edge, a persistent thread of water that drains the basin and carries the melt of winter toward the lower plains. Beyond the immediate banks, the terrain rises into the broad, unremarkable shoulders of the countryside, where the air remains crisp and thin, untainted by the salt of any distant coast. Eight miles to the west, the silhouettes of Cream Ridge cut a jagged, dark line against the horizon, anchoring the topography while the Town Of Machias Park Land offers a quiet, undeveloped buffer of green just a mile away.

Agriculture and the slow, seasonal turnover of the land define the economy of Lime Lake, an existence dictated by the frost cycles and the steady maintenance of rural infrastructure. History here is written in the soil, marked by the remnants of older homesteads and the persistent, unhurried work of those who tend to the surrounding fields. Unlike the denser, more frantic urban centers to the south, life here follows the rhythm of the changing light, shifting from the stark, white stillness of deep winter to the damp, verdant growth of the growing season. The distance from the bustle of major corridors has allowed a particular isolation to persist, where the sound of the wind moving through the brush of Hog Hollow five miles distant seems louder than any human industry.

About This Lime Lake Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lime Lake, New York. Coordinates: 42.434508, -78.479743. 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 Lime Lake includes the ZIP code (14042), telephone area code (716), county seat of Cattaraugus County (Little Valley), and school district assignment (Yorkshire-Pioneer Central School District).

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.
