Explore Schenevus, 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 Schenevus, 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 Schenevus.
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.

Schenevus occupies a quiet stretch of land defined by the persistent, rhythmic clarity of Sparrowhawk Brook, which cuts a narrow path through the valley floor. It lies 14.0 miles east-northeast of Oneonta, NY (from Oneonta, NY: bearing 62°T), and is situated 5.5 miles north-northeast of Davenport. The air here holds a crisp, earthen weight, often cooling quickly as the sun dips behind the distant, hazy silhouette of the Catskill Mountains. To the west, the landscape deepens into the basin of Smoky Hollow, where the shadows lengthen across fields that have been worked for generations. Residents find a familiar stillness in the proximity of the Andrew S Draper Cen Schoo Land, an open expanse that serves as a quiet anchor for the local horizon. Even in the height of summer, the light retains a pale, northern quality, turning the edges of the woods a soft, muted gray as the day concludes.
Schenevus maintains a pace dictated by the seasonal shifts of a rural economy, where the legacy of agricultural industry remains visible in the architecture of older barns and the layout of the village center. While the bustling commerce of larger hubs remains far to the south, the local character is defined by a self-reliant persistence that has survived the transition from early settlement to modern life. Travelers seeking a respite from the intensity of the world sometimes pause here, perhaps venturing toward Goodyear Lake to watch the water settle into a glassy, undisturbed mirror under the evening sky. There is a particular honesty in how the community conducts its business, marked by the steady, unadorned work of those who manage the land and keep the small-town infrastructure functioning. This is a place where the history of the soil is felt in the daily routine, and where the silence between the sounds of the brook and the wind offers a distinct, contemplative solitude.

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.
