Explore Stamford, 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 Stamford, 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 Stamford.
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.

Stamford occupies a high-altitude plateau where the air grows thin and crisp, defined by the persistent, cold-fed flow of the West Branch Delaware River. It lies 23.1 miles east of Oneonta, NY (from Oneonta, NY: bearing 98°T), and is situated 8.9 miles north-northwest of Roxbury. The landscape surrounding Stamford unfolds in a series of deep, verdant folds, with the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Catskill Mountains marking the horizon to the southeast. Only a mile away, the quiet waters of Rexmere Lakes catch the shifting light of the afternoon, mirroring the hemlocks and maples that crowd the shoreline. Within the village itself, the Village Of Stamford Park Land offers a patch of maintained green where the pace of the day slows to match the movement of the clouds. Further out, the rugged terrain of Whisky Hollow reveals the geological intensity of the region, while the distant, thunderous drop of Mine Kill Falls serves as a stark reminder of the power inherent in these upland watersheds.
History in Stamford remains anchored in the stubborn resilience of those who first cleared the timber to establish a foothold in this challenging, mountainous interior. The local economy, once deeply tied to the rhythms of agrarian production and the seasonal influx of visitors seeking the medicinal quality of mountain air, continues to evolve through a modest, steady commerce. Sturdy architecture stands as a witness to the era when the rail line dictated the expansion of the village, leaving behind a collection of structures that favor function and endurance over ornamentation. Life here proceeds with a deliberate, quiet gravity, dictated by the turning of the seasons and the heavy, lingering winters that settle over the valley. The daily experience of Stamford is defined by this isolation, a place where the modern world feels filtered through the dense, persistent woodland that keeps the surrounding wilderness at bay.

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.
