How to Use This Castle Point Park, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Castle Point Park, 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 Castle Point Park.
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 Castle Point Park, New York
Castle Point Park is a locality in Dutchess County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 580. The population density is 120.0 people per km². Castle Point Park is located at 41.5464°N, 73.9682°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 12590, 12511.Castle Point Park occupies a rugged, elevated stretch of land where the earth rises in firm, earthen shelves above the surrounding topography. It lies 2.9 miles north of Beacon, NY (from Beacon, NY: bearing 1°T), and is situated 3.7 miles northeast of Newburgh. The terrain here is defined by dense thickets and firm soil, offering a vantage point that commands the immediate landscape without the softening influence of distant, watery horizons. Sunlight filters through the canopy in sharp, angular shafts, illuminating the mottled bark of hardwoods and the persistent, low-lying shrubs that cling to the slope. Below these heights, the Hudson River flows with a steady, deliberate weight, its presence felt in the cool air that rises to meet the park’s perimeter, while the distant, hazy outlines of the Appalachian Mountains provide a jagged, blue-tinted frame to the western sky.
Castle Point Park serves as a quiet witness to the shifting industrial and academic currents that have defined this interior corridor for generations. The economy of the surrounding region has long been tethered to the movement of goods and the cultivation of specialized knowledge, reflecting a transition from heavy labor to the intellectual pursuits of modern institutional life. Paths wind through the grounds, tracing routes that have been walked by students and laborers alike, each step echoing the persistent, industrious rhythm of the mid-Hudson Valley. Despite the proximity of bustling corridors and the quiet, sequestered stillness of Beacon Reservoir tucked away in the hinterlands, the park maintains a distinct, solitary character, preserved as a piece of green permanence in a landscape that otherwise continues to remake itself.

About This Castle Point Park Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Castle Point Park, New York. Coordinates: 41.546382, -73.968155. 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 Castle Point Park includes the ZIP code (12590, 12511), telephone area code (845), county seat of Dutchess County (Poughkeepsie), and school district assignment.
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.
