How to Use This Selkirk, New York Map

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

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 Selkirk, New York

Selkirk is a locality in Oswego County, New York, United States. Selkirk is located at 43.5742°N, 76.2027°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 13142, 12158.

Selkirk defines the landscape where the Salmon River carves its path toward the expansive waters of Lake Ontario. It lies 17.5 miles east-northeast of Oswego, NY (from Oswego, NY: bearing 62°T), and is situated 7.8 miles west of Richland. This terrain remains defined by the persistent moisture of the snowbelt, where the horizon often blurs into a slate-gray sky, and the air carries a crisp, lingering chill even as the seasons turn. The earth here holds a quiet permanence, marked by the dense, cooling presence of the lake that dominates the view and dictates the local climate. Within the boundaries of Selkirk Shores State Park, the land transitions into a rugged fringe, offering a sanctuary where the silence is interrupted only by the rhythmic motion of the water and the wind moving through the trees.

Selkirk maintains a character forged by the steady demands of its environment and the historic patterns of migration along these northern waterways. The local economy persists in a measured alignment with the natural rhythms of the seasons, drawing those who find value in the solitude of the shoreline and the proximity to the Salmon River. Life here moves with a deliberate, unadorned pace, far removed from the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains that remain mere ghosts on the southern horizon. Travelers occasionally catch sight of Carl Island rising from the water six miles away, a solitary landmark that punctuates the view toward the distant reaches of Renshaw Bay. In this quiet corner, the day-to-day existence is tethered to the lake, reflecting a resilience that has defined the inhabitants of Selkirk for generations.

About This Selkirk Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Selkirk, New York. Coordinates: 43.574236, -76.202706. 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 Selkirk includes the ZIP code (13142, 12158), telephone area code (315, 518), county seat of Oswego County (Oswego), 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.
