Explore Mayfield, 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 Mayfield, 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 Mayfield.
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.

Mayfield emerges from the landscape where the steady current of Mayfield Creek carves a path through the earth toward the vast expanse of Great Sacandaga Lake. It lies 5.3 miles northeast of Gloversville, NY (from Gloversville, NY: bearing 48°T), and is situated 8.5 miles northeast of Johnstown. Mayfield remains defined by the presence of this water, which dictates the flow of local life and the quiet transitions of the seasons. Dense woods and open fields provide a backdrop that shifts from the crisp greens of spring to the muted, slate-colored dormancy of winter. On the distant horizon, the peaks of the Adirondack Mountains rise like a serrated edge against the sky, grounding the view in a sense of geological permanence. The air here holds a distinct clarity, particularly at dusk when the light thins and stretches across the level ground.
Settlement in Mayfield grew from the necessity of utilizing local resources, fostering an economy long tied to the surrounding woodlands and the development of the regional water system. Early industry relied on the forest and the fertile soil, establishing a pattern of labor that favored craftsmanship and the steady production of goods. Today, the local economy reflects the quiet resilience of an inland population that balances traditional trades with the demands of modern service and small-scale enterprise. Residents often look toward the nearby New York State Lands for recreation, maintaining a connection to the environment that has persisted for generations. While the pace of commerce remains measured, the influence of the regional industrial history continues to shape the way Mayfield organizes its daily affairs.
Cultural character in Mayfield finds its expression in the communal gatherings and the preservation of long-standing local traditions. Residents often convene for seasonal events that mark the calendar, fostering a sense of continuity that bypasses the frantic speed of larger, more congested regions. The proximity to the expansive Great Sacandaga Lake allows for a rhythm of life that honors the outdoors, whether through seasonal recreation or the simple appreciation of the lakeside atmosphere. While the area is defined more by its collective spirit than by the presence of singular, globally recognized figures, the integrity of the local identity remains a point of pride for those who reside here. Visitors might look toward Hell Hollow for a sense of the region's deeper topography, finding in the quietude a reflection of the town’s enduring and understated nature.

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.
