Explore York, 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 York, 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 York.
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.

York sits upon a landscape defined by the quiet tension between solid earth and the encroaching influence of water, where the horizon remains flat and expansive under a sky that shifts from bruised violet to pale slate. It lies 17.2 miles east of Ontario, NY (from Ontario, NY: bearing 95°T), and is situated 9.7 miles north-northeast of Lyons. The terrain is characterized by low-lying fields and dense thickets that transition into the marshy boundaries of Lake Shore Marshes Wma, a place where the air hangs heavy with the scent of damp soil and decaying reeds. Just a mile away, the waters of Sodus Bay press against the land, their rhythmic pulses shaping the temperament of the soil and the way the light catches the reeds near the mouth of Third Creek. Far to the south, the distant, hazy suggestion of the Appalachian Mountains serves as a permanent, immovable landmark, grounding the view beyond the immediate, water-logged periphery of the region.
York emerged from the steady labor of early settlers who recognized the potential in the fertile, heavy earth and the proximity to the aquatic veins that carve through the local geography. The economy remains tethered to this primary relationship with the land, moving in cycles dictated by the seasons and the demands of agricultural production, while the nearby presence of Eagle Island provides a silent, forested point of interest in the wider expanse of the bay. Life in York proceeds with a deliberate, unadorned cadence, reflecting a history of endurance where the primary industry has always leaned toward the harvest and the management of natural resources. Residents observe the change in the tides and the seasonal migration of waterfowl through the marshlands with a practiced eye, finding a distinct, quiet beauty in the way the morning mist clings to the surface of Sodus Bay before the day fully asserts itself.

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.
