How to Use This Sloan, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Sloan, 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 Sloan.
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. Sloan is an incorporated locality. ZIP codes: 14212, 14206.Sloan occupies a flat, steady expanse of Western New York, characterized by a utilitarian landscape where the sky often holds the heavy, iron-gray weight of winter clouds. It lies 2.1 miles west-southwest of Cheektowaga, NY (from Cheektowaga, NY: bearing 251°T), and is situated 4.3 miles east of Buffalo. The ground here remains level, defined by the steady encroachment of residential streets and industrial corridors that seem to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has dipped below the horizon. Scajaquada Creek winds its way through the vicinity, a quiet ribbon of water that anchors the local terrain, while the broader, deeper presence of Lake Erie lies only five miles away, tempering the air with its vast, cool expanse. Within the borders of the neighborhood, Griffith Park provides a necessary stretch of green space, offering a quiet reprieve where the grass grows thick and the shadows lengthen with a slow, deliberate grace as evening settles over the pavement.
Sloan carries the distinct rhythm of a place built on the firm foundations of railroading and manufacturing, legacies that remain visible in the sturdy, unadorned architecture of its older homes. The local economy has evolved from the intense labor of the steam era into a quieter, modern persistence, yet the pride of the workers who once kept the engines moving still echoes in the way the neighborhood maintains its own modest identity. Far off in the distance, the faint, hazy silhouette of Bear Ridge can be seen on exceptionally clear days, serving as a distant reminder of the varied topography that defines the wider region. Life in Sloan moves with a grounded, predictable cadence, where the morning light catches the brickwork of storefronts and the daily habits of residents define the true character of the streets, far removed from the dramatic heights of Bemo Park or the bustling energy of larger urban centers.

About This Sloan Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sloan, New York. Coordinates: 42.893392, -78.793922. 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 Sloan includes the ZIP code (14212, 14206), telephone area code (716), county seat of Erie County (Buffalo), and school district assignment (Cheektowaga-Sloan Union Free 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.
