How to Use This South Dayton, New York Map

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

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.

South Dayton emerges from the intersection of expansive, level farmland and the cooling, persistent presence of the West Branch Conewango Creek, which carves a quiet path through the local topography. It lies 15.6 miles east of Pomfret, NY (from Pomfret, NY: bearing 96°T), and is situated 9.2 miles southwest of Gowanda. The landscape here is characterized by a deliberate, wide-open modesty, where the sky seems to occupy more space than the earth itself, pressing down upon the fields with a heavy, pale clarity. During the transition of seasons, the air carries a sharp, metallic bite that hints at the distant, unseen slopes of Quaker Ridge, grounding the scenery in a stark, interior geography far removed from the humid pressures of the coast. Within the immediate vicinity, the Village Of South Dayton Land offers a modest expanse of green space, providing a quiet point of reference amidst the surrounding agricultural grid that stretches toward the horizon.

Economic life in South Dayton has long been tethered to the rhythms of the soil and the legacy of the rails that once dictated the movement of goods and people through this corridor. The history of the place is etched into the sturdy, unadorned architecture of the village, where the daily pace is governed by the persistent, unhurried growth of regional industry and the seasonal cycles of the fields. Residents find themselves oriented toward the deeper, more secluded pockets of the region, such as the quiet depth of Mosher Hollow, or the reflective surface of West Mud Lake, which lies seven miles away as a solitary feature of the landscape. Life in South Dayton maintains a distinct, solitary character, defined by the steady work of maintaining a livelihood in a rural expanse that values endurance over the fleeting trends of more densely populated, frantic sectors of the state.

About This South Dayton Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of South Dayton, New York. Coordinates: 42.364227, -79.055595. 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 South Dayton includes the ZIP code (14138), telephone area code (716), county seat of Cattaraugus County (Little Valley), and school district assignment (Pine Valley Central School District (South Dayton)).

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.
