How to Use This Scott, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Scott, 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 Scott.
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.

It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 13077.Scott emerges from the earth as a collection of high, emerald-shouldered ridges and deep, cool depressions where the light lingers long after the sun has begun its descent. It lies 9.4 miles north-northwest of Cortland, NY (from Cortland, NY: bearing 340°T), and is situated 7.2 miles north-northwest of Homer. The waters of Grout Brook carve a persistent, silver path through the landscape, feeding the quiet vitality of the nearby Scott Gulf. To the north, the expanse of Skaneateles Lake catches the sky, mirroring the shifting moods of the clouds, while the dense, shadowed canopy of Bear Swamp State Forest stands as a solemn sentinel over the surrounding terrain. Even when the air turns sharp and heavy with the promise of winter, there is a stillness here that feels ancient, grounded by the steady, unobserved movement of water through the soil.
Agriculture has long defined the rhythm of Scott, as the soil responds to the hands of those who tend its fields and pastures. Local life moves in harmony with the changing seasons, marked by the simple, functional architecture of rural life and the modest presence of the Grout Brook Fishing Access. While the distant Appalachian Mountains provide a faint, jagged silhouette against the horizon on the clearest of days, the focus here remains local and intimate, far removed from the clamor of wider horizons. Residents find a particular resonance in the proximity of landmarks like Bucktail Falls, where the falling water punctuates the silence of the woods, reinforcing a tradition of quiet industry and a deep, observant connection to the land that has supported this place for generations.

About This Scott Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Scott, New York. Coordinates: 42.729513, -76.243263. 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 Scott includes the ZIP code (13077), telephone area code (315), county seat of Cortland County (Cortland), and school district assignment.
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.
