Explore Odessa, 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 Odessa, 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 Odessa.
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.

Odessa emerges from the landscape where the steady, rhythmic pulse of Catlin Mill Creek defines the low-lying terrain. It lies 11.8 miles north of Horseheads, NY (from Horseheads, NY: bearing 8°T), and is situated 14.8 miles southwest of Tompkins. The earth here forms a series of quiet, deliberate slopes that guide the eye toward the deeper shadows of Beardsley Hollow, a mile away. To the west, the land rises in subtle increments, offering a horizon that feels contained and intimate, far removed from the vast, open plains of the interior. The air holds a consistent, cool weight, particularly as the light shifts in the late afternoon, casting long, lean shadows across the fields that surround the Odessa Montour Central Land. Within this expanse, the presence of water is felt rather than seen, as the creek sustains a quiet, constant motion that gives the ground a soft, yielding quality underfoot.
Agriculture and the rhythms of a rural economy have long dictated the pace of life in Odessa, shaping a character that values endurance over rapid change. The proximity of Cayuta Lake, just three miles distant, provides a point of focus for those seeking the stillness of water, while the nearby Shequaga Falls offers a more forceful reminder of the region’s geological depth. While the distant Appalachian Mountains provide a faint, serrated line against the sky, the true life of the locality remains anchored in the immediate woods and the nearby Cliffside State Forest, where the canopy creates a dense, hushed environment. Residents often look toward the Finger Lakes Trail for recreation, connecting their daily lives to the broader, ancient paths of the region. History here is quiet, marked by the steady labor of those who worked the soil and the slow, persistent growth of a place that prefers to keep its own counsel.

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.
