How to Use This McLean, New York Map

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

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.

McLean occupies a quiet stretch of land where the persistent, rhythmic currents of Fall Creek carve a path through the earth, defining the local topography with a steady, enduring grace. It lies 6.6 miles west-southwest of Cortland, NY (from Cortland, NY: bearing 239°T), and is situated 8.2 miles southwest of Homer. The landscape surrounding McLean is characterized by the modest, purposeful contours of the regional terrain, which rise and fall in harmony with the nearby Pleasant Valley. A brief walk from the center reveals the stillness of Mud Pond, a body of water that mirrors the shifting, pale light of the sky, while the nearby O.D. Von Engeln Preserve At Malloryville offers a sanctuary of glacial kames and kettle holes that speak to the ancient, frozen history of the ground. Beyond the immediate fields, the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains occasionally sharpen against the horizon, anchoring the vista in a vast, geologic frame.

McLean evolved from a heritage of milling and agricultural production, its character shaped by the practical demands of life in a landscape defined by seasonal winters and the slow, deliberate turn of the growing cycle. The local economy persists with a quiet resilience, long removed from the industrial clamor of larger hubs, favoring a pace that allows the rust-colored soil and the thick canopy of the Yellow Barn State Forest to dictate the rhythm of the day. Life in McLean is marked by a certain unadorned honesty, where the architecture reflects a history of utilitarian craftsmanship and the social atmosphere remains tethered to the land. As dusk settles over the fields, the quality of the air grows thin and sharp, carrying the scent of damp loam and woodsmoke, a sensory reminder that the identity of McLean remains firmly rooted in the quiet, inland geography of the region.

About This McLean Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of McLean, New York. Coordinates: 42.552016, -76.291044. 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 McLean includes the ZIP code (13102), telephone area code (315), county seat of Tompkins County (Ithaca), and school district assignment (Dryden 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.
