How to Use This West Almond, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for West Almond, 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 West Almond.
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.

West Almond is located at 42.2995°N, 77.8831°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 14804.West Almond emerges from the landscape as a quiet expanse where the steady, rhythmic pulse of Angelica Creek dictates the slow movement of the land. It lies 31.9 miles east-northeast of Olean, NY (from Olean, NY: bearing 61°T), and is situated 9.0 miles west-southwest of Hornellsville. The terrain rises and falls in wide, grassy swells, sheltered by the dense, encompassing green of Palmer's Pond State Forest which blankets the immediate earth. Sunlight here possesses a particular, pale clarity, filtering through the canopy to illuminate the mossy floor near Palmers Pond, where the water remains still and reflective under the gray-blue sky. Far to the horizon, the faint, jagged silhouette of Bow Ridge marks the boundary of the world, reminding the observer that West Almond occupies a singular, inland space far from the rush of the tides.
History in West Almond is written in the silence of the soil and the legacy of agricultural persistence that defined its early settlers. The local economy remains tethered to the patterns of the harvest and the stewardship of the woods, maintaining a pace of life that values the heavy stillness of winter and the sudden, vibrant bloom of the spring thaw. Residents often look toward the distant terrain of Nineteen Gully as a mark of the wider geography that frames their daily labor. Life in West Almond persists without the need for grand gestures, defined instead by the endurance of the timber and the quiet, unending flow of the creek that keeps the valley tethered to its original, rugged character.

About This West Almond Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of West Almond, New York. Coordinates: 42.299513, -77.883055. 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 West Almond includes the ZIP code (14804), telephone area code (607), county seat of Allegany County (Belmont), and school district assignment.
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.
