How to Use This SUNY Oswego, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for SUNY Oswego, 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 SUNY Oswego.
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 SUNY Oswego, New York
SUNY Oswego is a locality in Oswego County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,451. The population density is 3953.8 people per km². SUNY Oswego is located at 43.4515°N, 76.5439°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 13126.SUNY Oswego commands a singular position where the horizon dissolves into the vast, restless expanse of Lake Ontario. It lies 1.7 miles west of Oswego, NY (from Oswego, NY: bearing 261°T), and is situated 9.2 miles north of Hannibal. The campus landscape is defined by this immense northern water, which dictates the temperament of the air and the sharp, clean light that cuts across the bluffs each afternoon. A mile inland, the quiet, meandering path of Rice Creek offers a muted counterpoint to the lake’s oceanic scale, carving through verdant terrain that feels worlds removed from the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains. Winter brings a heavy, muffled stillness as snow accumulates, yet the students who traverse these grounds seem to move in sync with the lake’s rhythmic, unpredictable pulse, finding a peculiar beauty in the gray, churning water and the salt-spray atmosphere that lingers even here, eleven miles from the nearest open coastline.
Economic life and local history flow from this proximity to the water, tracing back to the maritime trade that once anchored the region’s development. While the distant, sheltered waters of Little Sodus Bay suggest the maritime heritage of the wider coast, SUNY Oswego has evolved into an intellectual engine for the region, balancing its academic rigor against the backdrop of a working landscape. Nearby, the quiet grounds of American Legion Park provide a space for reflection, while the memory of the past lingers in the proximity of sites like Battle Island, a silent witness to the area's older struggles. The pace of life here is conditioned by the seasons, a slow, deliberate cadence that respects the sheer power of the lake, ensuring that the identity of the institution remains inextricably tied to the raw, elemental geography of the northern frontier.

About This SUNY Oswego Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of SUNY Oswego, New York. Coordinates: 43.4515, -76.5439. 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 SUNY Oswego includes the ZIP code (13126), telephone area code (315), county seat of Oswego County (Oswego), and school district assignment (Oswego City 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.
