How to Use This Clarksville, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Clarksville, 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 Clarksville.
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 Clarksville, New York
Clarksville is a locality in Albany County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,200. The population density is 120.0 people per km². Clarksville is located at 42.5759°N, 73.9640°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 12041.Clarksville emerges from the landscape as a quiet expanse where the Onesquethaw Creek carves its path through a terrain defined by limestone bedrock and deep, sheltered glens. It lies 4.5 miles southwest of New Scotland, NY (from New Scotland, NY: bearing 215°T), and is situated 9.3 miles south-southwest of Guilderland. The air here carries a distinct sharpness, particularly when the light of late afternoon catches the limestone outcrops, casting long, cool shadows across the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy Land that stretches across the surrounding acreage. To the west, the silhouettes of the Catskill Mountains provide a distant, atmospheric boundary, while the immediate geography remains defined by the descent into the quietude of Dunbar Hollow. Only two miles distant, the surface of Lawson Lake mirrors the dense canopy of the local woodlands, reinforcing a sense of terrestrial stillness that defines this inland geography.
Clarksville retains a legacy rooted in the industrious use of its natural resources, once centered upon the extraction of stone that built so much of the region’s early infrastructure. The economy has transitioned from those extractive roots into a present day defined by a slower, agrarian pace, where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the texture of daily life more than the demands of distant commerce. Residents find a singular beauty in the proximity of Dickinson Falls, where the water’s movement offers a constant, low-frequency pulse against the relative silence of the woods. This persistent connection to the land, maintained through the preservation of open spaces and a respect for the local topography, ensures that Clarksville remains a place where the history of the soil is still legible in the everyday movements of its inhabitants.

About This Clarksville Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Clarksville, New York. Coordinates: 42.575912, -73.964017. 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 Clarksville includes the ZIP code (12041), telephone area code (518), county seat of Albany County (Albany), 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.
