How to Use This Poplar Ridge, New York Map

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

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.

About Poplar Ridge, New York

Poplar Ridge is a locality in Cayuga County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 22.0 people per km². Poplar Ridge is located at 42.7384°N, 76.6180°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 13026, 13139.

Poplar Ridge occupies a high, fertile plateau where the horizon stretches wide across open fields and orderly rows of crops. It lies 13.6 miles south of Auburn, NY (from Auburn, NY: bearing 191°T), and is situated 19.7 miles north of Tompkins. Little Creek carves a persistent, quiet path through the landscape, its waters feeding the local soil and carving small, intricate channels into the earth before moving toward the basin of Beard Gully. The air here holds a crisp, consistent clarity, particularly in the late afternoon when the sun catches the dust of the harvest, casting long, lean shadows across the farmhouse lanes. Four miles to the west, the expansive surface of Cayuga Lake exerts a cooling influence on the climate, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains serves as a permanent, silent anchor to the south.

Poplar Ridge maintains a character deeply rooted in the agricultural traditions of the region, where the economy remains tethered to the cycle of planting and yield. Historical footprints remain visible in the sturdy, deliberate architecture of the older houses, which stand as quiet evidence of the families who first cleared these stands of timber to build a life on the plateau. Residents often look toward the nearby serenity of Long Point State Park (Cayuga Lake) for recreation, or travel to the proximity of Clifton Falls to observe the water’s sudden, dramatic descent. Though the rhythm of life here is defined by the seasons, the presence of the Lettie M Cook Memorial Forest twelve miles away offers a dense, protective contrast to the openness of the surrounding farmland, keeping the spirit of the local wild spaces intact against the encroachment of time.
