How to Use This Brewster Hill, New York Map

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

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 Hill, New York

Brewster Hill is a locality in Putnam County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,924. The population density is 853.9 people per km². Brewster Hill is located at 41.4240°N, 73.6043°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 10509.

Brewster Hill rises above the surrounding terrain as a series of glaciated ridges and dense woodlands that define the northern reach of the landscape. It lies 4.0 miles east of Carmel, NY (from Carmel, NY: bearing 96°T), and is situated 8.0 miles west-northwest of Danbury. The physical character of Brewster Hill is defined by the heavy, dark loam of the region and the way the late afternoon light flattens against the slope, turning the oaks and maples into silhouettes of muted iron and bronze. Lake Tonetta sits at the base of these elevations, its surface acting as a dark, polished mirror for the shifting clouds, while the presence of the Town of Southeast Land provides a buffer of protected acreage that keeps the sprawl of the metropolitan orbit at a respectful distance.

History in Brewster Hill remains tethered to the transition from agricultural output to the growth of transit-oriented corridors that linked the hinterlands to the southern trade centers. While the local economy shifted away from the agrarian rhythms of the past, the influence of the nearby Tonetta Brook persists as a quiet reminder of the water power that once fueled local milling and early industry. Residents move through their days with a steady, pragmatic focus, often looking toward the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains on the horizon as a marker of the wider geography. This is a place where the stillness of the Pootatuck State Forest, located just a short distance away, informs the pace of life, suggesting a permanence that survives the constant churn of the modern commute.

About This Brewster Hill Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Brewster Hill, New York. Coordinates: 41.423983, -73.604294. 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 Hill 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.
