Explore Smithville Flats, 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 Smithville Flats, 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 Smithville Flats.
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.

Smithville Flats occupies a quiet, inland stretch of landscape where the pace of the day is dictated by the slow, deliberate movement of the Pond Brook. It lies 20.8 miles north-northeast of Johnson City, NY (from Johnson City, NY: bearing 22°T), and is situated 4.9 miles north-northwest of Greene. This narrow waterway carves a path through the earth, marking a distinct line across the terrain that divides the low-lying fields from the rising, wooded slopes that define the regional geography. Only a mile away, the surface of Round Pond sits as a mirror to the sky, reflecting the shifting, slate-colored clouds that often gather in this part of New York. The Town Of Smithville Land serves as a quiet anchor for the local environment, offering a space where the vegetation grows thick and undisturbed, far from the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains that rim the horizon. In the late afternoon, the light here turns a pale, translucent gold, catching the edges of the tall grasses and emphasizing the stillness that settles over the land as the sun dips behind the treeline.
Agriculture and the quiet persistence of rural industry have shaped the character of Smithville Flats since its earliest settlement, favoring a life built on the rhythms of the soil and the seasons. The local economy remains tethered to the land, reflecting a legacy of resourcefulness that has allowed the residents to maintain a steady, unadorned existence amidst the changing currents of the modern world. While the deeper, more ancient woods like the Ketchumville State Forest lie miles away, the immediate surroundings provide a modest, reliable bounty that informs the daily habits of those who dwell here. There is a specific, grounded texture to life in Smithville Flats, where the absence of urban noise allows the sound of the wind through the pines to become a primary feature of the local atmosphere. It is a place that demands little, offering instead a sense of continuity for those who appreciate the quiet endurance of a landscape that remains largely unchanged by the passage of time.

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.
