Explore Cold Spring, 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 Cold Spring, 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 Cold Spring.
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.

Cold Spring occupies a steep, verdant incline where the earth seems to tilt toward the water, anchoring its character in the weight of heavy stone and the passage of deep, slow-moving currents. It lies 4.2 miles east-southeast of Cornwall, NY (from Cornwall, NY: bearing 106°T), and is situated 6.4 miles south-southeast of Newburgh. The air here holds a distinct, metallic sharpness, a memory of the iron that once defined the local landscape before the wilder growth reclaimed the periphery. Above the rooftops, the terrain rises into dense, tangled woods, and only forty-nine miles away, the silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains press against the pale, evening sky. Within the local geography, Foundry Brook carves a persistent path toward the basin known as Worlds End, while nearby, the shaded canopy of Black Rock Forest offers a respite from the openness of the valley. A mile away, the surface of Dales Pond remains undisturbed, a mirror for the changing light, while the quiet grounds of Mcconville Park provide a steady, grassy center for the day’s slow transition into dusk.
Cold Spring retains a singular gravity born from its nineteenth-century industrial origins, when the production of massive cannons and ironwork dictated the rhythm of every laborer’s life. That manufacturing pulse has long since faded into a quiet economy of preservation, where the brick storefronts and meticulously maintained facades serve as a ledger of a different era. The legacy of those early iron foundries lingers in the architecture, a sturdy defiance against the encroaching forest that looms just beyond the edge of the streets. Those who traverse the Pipe Line Trail often find the silence of the woods interrupted only by the distant, rhythmic tumble of Buttermilk Falls. In the present day, Cold Spring exists in a state of suspended animation, where the focus has shifted from the forge to the careful stewardship of a landscape that demands attention, its history not merely remembered, but physically embedded in every weathered foundation and heavy, iron-latched door.

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.
