How to Use This Brewster Heights, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Brewster Heights, 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 Brewster Heights.
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 Brewster Heights, New York
Brewster Heights is a locality in Putnam County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,076. The population density is 788.3 people per km². Brewster Heights is located at 41.4062°N, 73.6326°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 10509.Brewster Heights emerges from the landscape as a series of slopes and wooded ridges defined by the steady, dark ribbon of the Middle Branch Croton River. It lies 3.0 miles southeast of Carmel, NY (from Carmel, NY: bearing 124°T), and is situated 9.3 miles west of Danbury. The Middle Branch Reservoir sits at the center of this terrain, its surface holding the reflection of low-hanging clouds and the shifting hues of the deciduous canopy. During the transition of seasons, the air carries a crisp, mineral quality that clarifies the horizon, where the distant, hazy blue outlines of the Appalachian Mountains seem to anchor the sky. The Tilly Foster Conservation Area preserves a quiet, rugged expanse of earth, offering a glimpse into the raw, unadorned character of the land before it was shaped by human industry.
Brewster Heights carries the weight of a regional history rooted in the necessity of water management and the gradual expansion of infrastructure that linked the interior to the wider world. The local economy persists with a measured, deliberate pace, supported by a mix of residential life and the legacy of the engineering projects that once dominated the surrounding valleys. Residents move through their days with a quiet awareness of the shifting light over the water, finding a sense of stability in the proximity to Union Valley and the enduring presence of the forest. The character of Brewster Heights remains tethered to these natural constraints, favoring a rhythm of life that honors the quietude of the inland woods over the rapid pulse of more densely developed centers.

About This Brewster Heights Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Brewster Heights, New York. Coordinates: 41.406205, -73.632628. 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 Brewster Heights includes the ZIP code (10509), telephone area code (914, 845), county seat of Putnam County (Carmel), and school district assignment (Brewster Central 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.
