Explore South Lima, 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 South Lima, 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 Lima.
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 Lima rises from the fertile, glacial till of the Finger Lakes region, defined by the quiet persistence of the Little Conesus Creek as it meanders through the low-lying fields. It lies 14.4 miles south-southwest of Henrietta, NY (from Henrietta, NY: bearing 193°T), and is situated 8.3 miles east-northeast of Geneseo. The landscape here is a study in restrained geometry, where the sharp, sudden drop of Denshore Gully five miles away breaks the steady, repetitive rhythm of cultivated acreage. Sunlight in the late afternoon catches the moisture rising from the earth, casting a pale, translucent glow over the soil, which remains as dark and rich as the history of the families who first cleared these woods. On the distant horizon, the faint, jagged silhouette of Bulgary Ridge provides a cold, permanent anchor to a sky that feels vast and unburdened, while the nearby water of Conesus Lake exerts a subtle, cooling influence on the evening air.
South Lima maintains a character forged in the slow, methodical labor of agricultural tradition, where the economy remains tethered to the seasonal cycles of the land. The proximity to the quiet recreation of Vitale Park offers a respite from the mechanical hum of modern life, allowing the pace of the day to be dictated by the movement of the sun rather than the clock. Travelers who venture four miles to witness the persistent, rhythmic spill of Triphammer Falls find a landscape that demands attention to detail, from the erosion of the limestone banks to the specific, muted palette of the local flora. Life in South Lima persists with a quiet dignity, favoring the steady output of the farm and the reliable flow of the creek over the clamor of industrial expansion, preserving a way of existence that feels both ancient and entirely present.

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.
