Explore Ulysses, 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 Ulysses, 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 Ulysses.
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.

Ulysses occupies a quiet basin where the Genesee River carves a narrow, winding path through the landscape of the northern tier. It lies 52.8 miles northeast of Saint Marys, PA (from Saint Marys, PA: bearing 51°T), and is situated 17.8 miles south-southeast of Wellsville. The air here holds a crisp, persistent chill, carrying the scent of damp earth and pine from the nearby Susquehannock State Forest, which looms as a dark, verdant presence only three miles away. To the south, the terrain rises into the rugged character of the interior, while the immediate surroundings are defined by the low, grassy expanse of Ballfield, a site that anchors the center of the locality. Beyond the immediate tree line, the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains marks the edge of the horizon, a hazy blue boundary that keeps the world feeling contained and deliberate.
History in Ulysses is measured in the steady persistence of agriculture and the quiet endurance of those who work the soil. The local economy remains tied to the land, reflecting a tradition of forestry and small-scale trade that has defined the region for generations. Life moves at a pace dictated by the seasons, where the light at dusk turns the fields a muted, bruised copper before the shadows of the valley floor deepen into a profound indigo. Those seeking a longer path through the woods often traverse the Buckseller Run Trail seven miles away, finding solitude in the quietude of the deep timber. Even as the modern world shifts, Ulysses retains a singular, grounded gravity, defined by the slow movement of the Genesee River and the unchanging geometry of the woods.

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.
