How to Use This Castleton On Hudson, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Castleton On Hudson, 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 Castleton On Hudson.
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 Castleton On Hudson, New York
Castleton On Hudson is a locality in Rensselaer County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,442. The population density is 480.0 people per km². Castleton On Hudson is located at 42.5332°N, 73.7463°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 12033.Castleton On Hudson occupies a steep, terraced incline that rises sharply from the dark, swirling currents of the Moordener Kill. It lies 3.7 miles west-northwest of Schodack, NY (from Schodack, NY: bearing 285°T), and is situated 8.3 miles south of Albany. The terrain here is defined by the heavy, moisture-laden air that clings to the slopes, where the earth feels ancient and densely packed with glacial till. Beyond the village limits, the landscape stretches toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Catskill Mountains, which remain a permanent, brooding presence on the southwestern horizon. The local geography is further marked by the proximity of the Upper Schodack Island basin, a low-lying expanse that dictates the drainage and temperament of the soil. Within the immediate perimeter, the Castleton Village Of Land offers a quiet, green buffer against the encroaching woodland, maintaining a silence that is only broken by the seasonal shift of wind through the hardwoods.
Castleton On Hudson retains the architectural austerity of its nineteenth-century origins, when the economy pivoted on the movement of goods through the interior waterways. The remnants of that era are visible in the sturdy, upright frames of older structures that seem to lean against the gravity of the hillside, a silent record of labor and trade. While the bustling commerce of previous decades has faded into a more measured, quiet endurance, the local rhythm is dictated by the slow transition of seasons rather than the demands of a modern market. Residents often traverse the paths toward Frothingham Lake, where the water remains cool and still, reflecting the gray, overcast skies that dominate the region for much of the year. Life here is defined by this deliberate pace, a persistent quality of existence that avoids the frantic pace of the state’s urban centers, favoring instead the steady, unyielding character of the land itself.

About This Castleton On Hudson Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Castleton On Hudson, New York. Coordinates: 42.533197, -73.7463. 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 Castleton On Hudson includes the ZIP code (12033), telephone area code (518), county seat of Rensselaer County (Troy), 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.
