How to Use This Baldwin, New York Map

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

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 Baldwin, New York

Baldwin is a locality in Essex County, New York, United States. It has a population of 33,919. The population density is 3183.3 people per km². Baldwin is located at 40.6501°N, 73.6077°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 12883, 11510.

Baldwin defines itself by the steady, unyielding presence of the La Chute as it carves a path through the interior landscape, its waters moving with a deliberate, quiet purpose. It lies 31.0 miles north-northeast of Queensbury, NY (from Queensbury, NY: bearing 16°T), and is situated 2.9 miles south-southwest of Ticonderoga. The terrain here is shaped by a deep, inland stillness, where the air holds the scent of damp earth and cooling stone rather than the salt of distant horizons. To the west, the distant, jagged silhouette of the Adirondack Mountains anchors the sky, while the immediate surroundings offer the dense, protected greenery of the Lake George Wild Forest. Only a short distance away, the surface of Lake Champlain catches the afternoon light, reflecting a vast, pale gray expanse that shifts with the passing of clouds. Between the water and the rising ground, the land feels settled and ancient, marked by the slow, seasonal transition of deciduous trees that color the ridge lines in shades of bronze and burnt sienna.

Baldwin maintains a character tied to the rhythms of the upstate interior, where the economy has long favored small-scale industry and the quiet persistence of local commerce. Life here moves in accordance with the changing light, with residents often walking toward the nearby Lost Pond Trail to observe how the brush thins as the elevation begins to climb toward the rugged terrain of Clark Hollow. The history of the area is written not in grand monuments, but in the enduring utility of the riverbanks and the modest, sturdy architecture that keeps pace with the northern winters. Even as the modern world encroaches, Baldwin remains a place where the proximity to the Fair Haven Municipal Forest ensures that the quiet of the woods is never more than a short journey away, grounding the daily routine in the fundamental, unchanging geology of the region.

About This Baldwin Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Baldwin, New York. Coordinates: 40.650127, -73.607709. 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 Baldwin includes the ZIP code (12883, 11510), telephone area code (845, 516), county seat of Essex County (Elizabethtown), and school district assignment (Baldwin Union Free School District).

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.
