Explore Claverack, New York, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Claverack, 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 Claverack.
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.

To the east, the woods of the Mount Washington State Forest offer a dense canopy of green, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Catskill Mountains anchors the western horizon. Travelers might find a moment of peace near the shimmering surface of Lilli Pond, or listen to the persistent, rhythmic tumble of Buttermilk Falls nearby. The expanse of the West Flats provides a broad, open counterpoint to the more intimate, wooded corners of the region.
Claverack preserves the echoes of its early colonial foundations, where the land was first cleared to serve the needs of a growing, agrarian society. The local economy has long drawn its vitality from the soil, shifting over generations from traditional farming to a more diverse landscape of small enterprises and specialized industry. Residents continue to value the quiet, consistent labor that sustains the local character, favoring a steady pace of life over the frantic energy of metropolitan centers. While the proximity to the Hudson, City of Land offers a nearby space for recreation, the internal rhythm of Claverack remains firmly rooted in its own history. This heritage persists in the architecture and the deliberate, unhurried way that the days unfold for those who call the place home.
Cultural life in Claverack thrives on a quiet appreciation for the intersection of land and legacy, often expressed through the preservation of historic homes and the stewardship of the surrounding countryside.

Public life is frequently marked by local gatherings that celebrate the harvest or the changing seasons, fostering a deep sense of neighborly connection. While the area is not defined by the presence of modern celebrities, it has been shaped by the quiet, enduring influence of those who appreciate the austere beauty of the inland plains. The spirit of Claverack remains caught in the golden light of late afternoon, reflecting a life lived with intention and a deep, respectful awareness of the natural world.

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.
