Explore Lowman, 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 Lowman, 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 Lowman.
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.

Lowman holds a quiet, unassuming posture within the verdant, folded terrain of the Chemung River valley. It lies 6.1 miles southeast of Elmira, NY (from Elmira, NY: bearing 133°T), and is situated 5.3 miles east-southeast of Southport. Baldwin Creek serves as the primary artery here, its waters carving a path through the landscape with a persistent, rhythmic clarity that dictates the pace of the surroundings. To the west, the land rises into the quiet inclines of Hoffman Hollow, where the shadows lengthen early in the afternoon, coating the hollow in a cooling, slate-colored light. Beyond the immediate fields, the horizon is held by the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains, which anchor the view in a permanent, ancient stillness. Five miles from the center, the stillness of Miller Pond provides a reflective mirror for the sky, undisturbed by the hurried pace of larger, more frantic regions.
Newtown Battlefield State Park marks the earth a mere mile from the center of Lowman, preserving a somber, significant history that continues to shape the local identity. The economy remains tethered to the character of the land, defined by a legacy of agricultural endurance and the modest, industrious nature of those who work the soil. Life in Lowman moves with a deliberate, steady pulse, largely indifferent to the frantic clamor of modern commerce found in denser, more populated corridors. The air here carries a crisp, clean clarity, particularly during the transition of seasons when the light turns brittle and golden, illuminating the silos and farmsteads that have stood for generations. It is a place where the weight of history is felt not in grand monuments, but in the quiet, persistent management of the fields and the reliable flow of the creek.

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.
