Explore Red House, 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 Red House, 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 Red House.
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.

Red House exists as a quiet convergence of water and wild timber, defined by the steady, dark flow of the Allegheny River as it carves a path through the landscape. It lies 19.2 miles west of Olean, NY (from Olean, NY: bearing 277°T), and is situated 5.5 miles southwest of Salamanca. The Allegheny Reservoir dominates the immediate horizon, its expansive surface reflecting the changing moods of the sky and anchoring the terrain in a stillness that feels both ancient and deliberate. To the north, the elevation rises toward the distant silhouette of Paines Summit, while the nearby terrain of Beck Hollow offers a secluded, shadowed topography. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity, often illuminated at dusk by a pale, thin light that catches the deep greens of the surrounding woods and the slate-colored ripples of the water, grounding Red House within a vast, protected expanse of wilderness.
History in Red House remains inextricably tied to the land, shaped by the deliberate flooding that created the current reservoir and altered the reach of the Allegheny River forever. Local life moves in synchronization with the seasons, far removed from the frantic pace of industrial hubs, focusing instead on the stewardship of the natural environment and the management of the sprawling Allegheny Reservoir. Visitors often seek out the quietude of the region, occasionally venturing toward the distant Harry E Dobbins Memorial State Forest or testing their endurance on the challenging paths of Trail Number 5. The economy is quiet and seasonal, revolving around the rhythms of forest growth and the maintenance of the public lands, ensuring that Red House preserves its character as a place where human activity remains secondary to the quiet, persistent authority of the woods and water.

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.
