Explore Penfield, 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 Penfield, 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 Penfield.
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.

Penfield reveals its character through the steady, life-giving presence of Irondequoit Creek as it carves a path through the landscape. It lies 3.4 miles northeast of Pittsford, NY (from Pittsford, NY: bearing 36°T), and is situated 7.3 miles east-southeast of Rochester. The terrain surrounding Penfield is defined by these waters, which flow toward the nearby expanse of Irondequoit Bay, a significant lake that anchors the region’s geography. Residents find solace at Schaufelberger Park, a local sanctuary where the quiet transition from woodland to waterway provides a peaceful refuge. On clear days, one might catch a distant glimpse of Maple Ridge on the horizon, standing as a silent sentinel over the fields. The air here holds a crisp, cool clarity that sharpens the edges of the trees as autumn light begins to slant low across the valley floors.
Penfield maintains a legacy rooted in the industrious spirit of early settlers who recognized the potential of the fertile soil and flowing water. While the economy has shifted from its agricultural origins, the town continues to thrive through a diverse mix of modern businesses and professional services that support a growing population. The proximity to the bustling commerce of the surrounding region ensures that Penfield remains an active participant in the wider economy while preserving its own distinct identity. Early mills once relied upon the steady force of the local streams, setting a precedent for a work ethic that still informs the local character today. This steady progress has created a balanced environment where the demands of modern industry do not overshadow the essential, quiet dignity of the land.
The cultural life of Penfield is marked by a profound appreciation for the outdoors and a strong sense of civic continuity. Many residents gather for seasonal celebrations that honor the changing of the seasons, often finding themselves drawn toward the water or the open green spaces that define the local experience. While the area is not defined by grand monuments, the modest, well-tended beauty of the neighborhood streets reflects a collective pride in maintaining a welcoming atmosphere. High Falls, though a few miles distant, serves as a natural marvel that draws many who appreciate the raw, kinetic energy of falling water. Penfield continues to foster a sense of belonging for those who value a steady, measured pace of life over the frantic pulse of larger urban centers.

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.
