Explore Stafford, 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 Stafford, 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 Stafford.
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.

Stafford emerges from the flat, fertile expanse of western New York, defined by the steady, unassuming presence of Black Creek as it carves a path through the lowland soil. It lies 5.9 miles east of Batavia, NY (from Batavia, NY: bearing 101°T), and is situated 4.5 miles west of Le Roy. The horizon remains wide and open, occasionally broken by the distant, hazy silhouette of Bulgary Ridge, while the local terrain yields to the subtle depressions of Woodchuck Hole and the quiet, stagnant reflection of Chapin Pond. Within the Town of Stafford Land, the wild grasses grow tall and silver under the heavy, pale light of late autumn, softening the edges of the meadows where the air carries the scent of damp earth and coming frost. This landscape possesses a patient, horizontal beauty, where the sky claims more attention than the earth and the wind moves across the plains with a persistent, rhythmic hum.
Stafford maintains a character forged by the slow, deliberate work of agriculture, a way of life that has defined the region since the earliest settlers broke the heavy topsoil. The local economy persists in this quiet devotion to the land, punctuated by the mechanical industry of modern farming and the transit of grain and goods that move along the rural corridors. Residents might mark the change of seasons by the distant, thundering rush of Buttermilk Falls, a reminder of the water’s persistent work in the wider region, or by the simple, repetitive labor of the harvest. Life here moves with the gravity of the seasons, a consistent and unpretentious cycle that values the maintenance of the fields and the endurance of the community over the frantic noise of more crowded places.

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.
