How to Use This Rushford, New York Map

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

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 Rushford, New York

Rushford is a locality in Allegany County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 351. The population density is 230.9 people per km². Rushford is located at 42.3923°N, 78.2536°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 14777.

Rushford unfolds across a landscape of high, weathered plateaus where the air holds the sharp, clean clarity of an inland autumn. It lies 23.5 miles north-northeast of Olean, NY (from Olean, NY: bearing 22°T), and is situated 5.1 miles west of Caneadea. The terrain is defined by the steady, persistent flow of Caneadea Creek, which carves a modest path through the earth, while the distant, shadowed silhouette of Cream Ridge anchors the horizon against the pale sky. To the north, the terrain rises into the dense, quiet timberlands of Swift Hill State Forest, where the canopy creates a stillness that feels untouched by the frantic pace of the wider world. The light here at dusk possesses a singular, bruised violet quality, settling over the fields and the nearby surface of Rushford Lake with a heavy, contemplative grace that seems to slow the very pulse of the day.

Rushford maintains a quiet, industrious character, anchored by a history of agricultural perseverance that still defines the rhythm of its daily life. The regional economy remains tethered to the land, reflecting a heritage of independent labor and the steady maintenance of homesteads that have weathered generations of harsh winters and humid summers. Beyond the seasonal patterns of farming, the proximity to the deeper, more rugged expanses of Rawson Valley underscores a regional isolation that keeps the local identity intact and distinct. Residents move with a deliberate, measured pace, recognizing that the true utility of the land lies not in rapid expansion, but in the enduring, quiet maintenance of a life lived in accordance with the seasons and the land’s own stubborn geometry.

About This Rushford Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Rushford, New York. Coordinates: 42.392287, -78.253624. 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 Rushford includes the ZIP code (14777), telephone area code (607), county seat of Allegany County (Belmont), and school district assignment (Cuba-Rushford Central School District).

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.
