How to Use This Stow, New York Map

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

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.

About Stow, New York

Stow is a locality in Chautauqua County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,400. The population density is 35.0 people per km². Stow is located at 42.1567°N, 79.4014°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 14785.

Stow holds a quiet prominence where the terrestrial pulse of the landscape is dictated by the steady, unpretentious movement of Ball Creek. It lies 9.5 miles west-northwest of Jamestown, NY (from Jamestown, NY: bearing 296°T), and is situated 3.4 miles southwest of Ellery. The water carves a path through the terrain, feeding directly into the expansive, glassy surface of Chautauqua Lake, which defines the horizon and anchors the visual life of the residents. Beyond the immediate banks, the geography rises into subtle, verdant elevations that shield the valley from the wider world, while the distant, hazy silhouette of Neils Ridge remains a constant, silent sentinel on the far edge of the view. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and seasonal decay, a reminder that the land is shaped by the slow, deliberate work of water and the long, cold winters that define the regional cycle.

Stow maintains a rhythm of life deeply rooted in the preservation of its natural surroundings, evidenced by the proximity of the Chautauqua Lake Fish And Wildlife Management Area. This protected expanse functions as a vital buffer, ensuring that the local economy—historically tied to the stewardship of the land and the quiet commerce of the lakefront—remains balanced with the preservation of the local ecosystem. Further afield, the woods of State Reforestation Area Chautauqua Number 11 provide a dense, timbered backdrop that has long supported the region’s traditional industries. The character of Stow is marked by this intersection of human endeavor and wilder, untamed growth, where the passage of time is measured not by the velocity of modern life, but by the shifting quality of light across the water and the persistent, low-frequency murmur of the creek.
