Explore Gillett, Pennsylvania, 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 Gillett, Pennsylvania. 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 Pennsylvania 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 Gillett.
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.

Gillett occupies a quiet stretch of land where the earth dips into the basin of Blodgett Hollow, defining the terrain with a deliberate, low-slung grace. It lies 9.6 miles south of Elmira, NY (from Elmira, NY: bearing 176°T), and is situated 7.3 miles south of Southport. Canaan Run traces a path through the landscape, its waters carving a steady, rhythmic line that keeps the soil cool and the vegetation dense. Beyond the immediate clearings, the woods thicken into the protected expanse of State Game Land 123, providing a vast, silent buffer of timber and brush. Light in the late afternoon settles heavily here, turning the fields a muted shade of bronze before the shadows stretch long and thin toward the base of the valley. A few miles away, the surface of Stacey Pond remains a still, reflective mirror, undisturbed by the transit of the modern world.
Agriculture has long held the primary claim on the spirit of Gillett, anchoring the economy to the seasonal demands of the harvest and the maintenance of the surrounding acreage. The history of the locality is written in the persistence of its homesteads, where the labor of generations has smoothed the ridges and cleared the thickets that once dominated the region. Daily life moves with a measured, consistent pace, governed by the turning of the soil and the quiet demands of a rural existence. While the distant Appalachian Mountains appear as faint, jagged ink-strokes against the horizon, the focus here remains entirely internal, fixed on the local rhythm of the seasons and the enduring character of the land 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.
