How to Use This Portland, New York Map

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

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 Portland, New York

Portland is a locality in Tompkins County, New York, United States. Portland is located at 42.5228°N, 76.5241°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 14850, 14769.

Portland occupies a quiet stretch of land where the persistent movement of Gulf Creek defines the local topography. It lies 3.5 miles northwest of Lansing, NY (from Lansing, NY: bearing 320°T), and is situated 4.7 miles north-northeast of Tompkins. The landscape surrounding Portland unfolds in a series of modest elevations and deep, earthen cuts, most notably the nearby Esty Glen, which channels the runoff of seasonal rains into the lower basins. The air here holds a distinct, crisp weight, particularly as the light shifts toward dusk, casting long, sharp shadows across the fields that extend toward the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the terrain transitions into dense, verdant pockets of growth, mirroring the wilder, untamed character of Yellow Barn State Forest found further afield.

History in Portland remains tethered to the slow, deliberate cultivation of the soil and the legacy of early land management that continues to shape the local economy today. The proximity to the Intermunicipal Water District Lands ensures a preservation of the natural watershed, maintaining a rural integrity that resists the encroachment of modern sprawl. Residents often find themselves drawn toward the dramatic, plummeting descent of Taughannock Falls, a site that marks the geological intensity of the region, or toward the expansive, still surface of Cayuga Lake, which anchors the broader horizon. Life in Portland moves with the steady, unpretentious cadence of a region deeply connected to its primary resources, where the economy relies on the careful stewardship of the land and the quiet, productive rhythms of a life lived close to the water and the wood.

About This Portland Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Portland, New York. Coordinates: 42.52285, -76.524108. 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 Portland includes the ZIP code (14850, 14769), telephone area code (607), county seat of Tompkins County (Ithaca), and school district assignment.

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.
