How to Use This Shirley, New York Map

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

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 Shirley, New York

Shirley is a locality in Erie County, New York, United States. It has a population of 26,360. The population density is 899.6 people per km². Shirley is located at 40.7936°N, 72.8759°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 14111, 11967.

Shirley maintains a quiet, inland composure defined by the expansive, open character of its regional landscape and the subtle shifts in light that cross its fields as the afternoon wanes. It lies 7.4 miles southeast of Evans, NY (from Evans, NY: bearing 145°T), and is situated 5.3 miles south of Eden. The terrain here relies on the steady, unassuming presence of the earth, punctuated by the cooling influence of the nearby Town of North Collins Land, which offers a preserved space for the local flora to thrive. Only two miles distant, the waters of Big Sister Creek cut a modest path through the land, directing the flow of the local watershed toward the broader regional basins. While the horizon remains largely level, the distant silhouettes of Cream Ridge provide a faint, serrated edge to the western sky, serving as a silent anchor for those who look beyond the immediate fields.

Shirley functions with the measured pace of a place long defined by its relationship to the surrounding agricultural and rural economy. The history of the locality is written in the utility of its soil and the persistence of its residents, who have adapted to the seasonal rhythms of a region that experiences the full, heavy weight of winter and the sudden, lush bloom of spring. While larger industrial centers draw their energy from the proximity of Lake Erie, ten miles to the west, Shirley retains a self-contained quality, focused on the maintenance of its own modest resources and the daily movement of its people. Life here is characterized by the practicalities of inland existence, where the silence of the woods, particularly toward the Erie County Reforestation Area, offers a stark contrast to the busier corridors of the state.
