How to Use This Colton, New York Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Colton, 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 Colton.

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.

Colton claims a rugged expanse of Northern New York, defined by the persistent, cold-water pulse of the Raquette River as it carves a path through the dense, timbered landscape. It lies 8.3 miles south-southeast of Potsdam, NY (from Potsdam, NY: bearing 166°T), and is situated 3.6 miles east-northeast of Pierrepont. The terrain rises in firm, forested swells that suggest the distant, hazy silhouette of the Adirondack Mountains on the far horizon, while the local topography is punctuated by the sudden, aqueous energy of Higley Falls. Within the immediate vicinity, the verdant density of Saint Lawrence State Forest Number 28 offers a deep, shaded quiet, contrasting with the open, reflective surface of Warm Brook Flow just a short distance away. Sunlight here possesses a particular, sharp clarity, catching the suspended moisture in the air and casting long, indigo shadows that stretch across the Town Of Colton Land during the quiet transition of late afternoon.

Colton bears the imprint of a history deeply tied to the exploitation of water power and the vast, surrounding woodland, industries that once dictated the very pace of existence for its inhabitants. While the economy has shifted from the heavy timber mills of the past, the rhythm of daily life remains tethered to the seasonal cycles of the North Country, where the arrival of winter dictates the intensity of local labor and the quiet endurance of the citizenry. The heritage of the locality is preserved in the remnants of its mills and the steady, utilitarian flow of the Raquette River, which continues to serve as an essential conduit for the region. Modern life in Colton moves with a deliberate, unassuming grace, characterized by a persistent focus on the land and a quiet, stoic pride in the resilience required to thrive in such a sprawling, northern climate.
