How to Use This Clifton Gardens, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Clifton Gardens, 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 Clifton Gardens.
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.

Clifton Gardens is a locality in Saratoga County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,729. The population density is 956.1 people per km². Clifton Gardens is located at 42.8474°N, 73.7838°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 12065.Clifton Gardens stretches across a landscape defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of Stony Creek, which cuts through the terrain with a quiet, persistent gravity. It lies 1.4 miles south-southwest of Clifton Park, NY (from Clifton Park, NY: bearing 207°T), and is situated 8.2 miles east-northeast of Schenectady. The land is defined by a gentle, inland topography where the earth rises in subtle inclines, far removed from the reach of any coastline. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains anchor the horizon, providing a permanent, shadowed backdrop to the local woodlands. Within the immediate vicinity, the Town Of Clifton Park Land provides an expansive, protected space for the natural growth of native flora, while the nearby Colonie Reservoir offers a still, reflective expanse of water that anchors the local ecosystem. The air here carries a crisp, terrestrial weight, particularly at dusk when the light filters through the trees to cast long, amber shadows across the fields.
Clifton Gardens evolved from an agrarian past into a modern residential landscape, maintaining a pace that favors deliberate, quiet growth over the frantic density of the state’s urban centers. The local economy is sustained by a blend of professional services and small-scale enterprise, reflecting a transition from the historic mill-based industries that once utilized the kinetic energy of regional waterways like Cohoes Falls. Residents often look toward the nearby Pleasant Valley for a sense of historical continuity, as the region’s development has been shaped by the slow, steady movement of the labor force and the changing needs of inland commerce. Life in Clifton Gardens is marked by the shifting seasons, where the transition from autumn frost to spring thaw dictates the rhythm of the day, creating a sense of place that is both anchored to its history and quietly attuned to the present.

About This Clifton Gardens Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Clifton Gardens, New York. Coordinates: 42.8474, -73.7838. 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 Clifton Gardens includes the ZIP code (12065), telephone area code (518), county seat of Saratoga County (Ballston Spa), and school district assignment (Shenendehowa 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.
