Explore Rathbone, 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 Rathbone, 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 Rathbone.
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.

Rathbone anchors itself firmly within a landscape defined by the persistent, winding presence of the Canisteo River, which slices through the valley floor with a steady, deliberate motion. It lies 13.7 miles west of Corning, NY (from Corning, NY: bearing 268°T), and is situated 9.3 miles southwest of Campbell. The terrain rises in slopes of deep green and autumnal bronze, shielding the lowlands where the air holds a cool, damp weight that lingers long after the sun retreats behind the ridges. A mere mile away, the water of Oskonsa Falls drops over weathered stone in a singular, rhythmic rush, a sound that persists as a constant backdrop to the rustle of the surrounding woods. Beyond the immediate reach of the water, the terrain stretches toward the quiet isolation of Tracy Creek State Forest, where the silence is broken only by the shifting of leaves or the occasional flight of a hawk circling the canopy. The light here at dusk possesses a singular clarity, turning the gray slate of the riverbanks into a soft, metallic silver that seems to hold the day’s final warmth.
Rathbone emerged from a necessity born of the soil, grounded in the labor of generations who shaped their lives around the cycles of agriculture and the timber that once dominated the surrounding hills. While the economy has shifted from its early reliance on the heavy harvest of the land, the rhythm of life remains tethered to the seasonal pulse of the valley, far removed from the frantic pace of the state’s urban centers. A few miles to the north, the calm surface of Duck Pond serves as a quiet mirror for the changing skies, a place apart from the modest industry that sustains the local character. History here is kept not in grand monuments, but in the enduring utility of the roads that follow the contours of the valley, and in the ways the residents of Rathbone mark the passing years by the harvest and the first heavy frost. It is a place where the scale of the world feels manageable, defined by the reach of the valley and the persistent, quiet flow of the Canisteo River.

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.
