How to Use This Copake Falls, New York Map

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

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 Copake Falls, New York

Copake Falls is a locality in Columbia County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 181. The population density is 312.0 people per km². Copake Falls is located at 42.1195°N, 73.5251°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 12517.

Copake Falls occupies a quiet basin defined by the energetic movement of Bash Bish Brook, which carves a persistent, rhythmic path through the rugged terrain. It lies 18.7 miles east-southeast of Catskill, NY (from Catskill, NY: bearing 111°T), and is situated 9.9 miles west-southwest of Great Barrington. Sunlight filters through the dense canopy of Mount Washington State Forest, casting a dappled, shifting light across the mossy boulders and the damp, earth-scented floor of the valley. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Catskill Mountains rise against the horizon like a jagged, ink-colored serration, framing a landscape that remains deeply tethered to its geological foundation. Nearby, the stillness of Robinson Pond offers a mirror to the sky, reflecting the slow, seasonal transitions of an inland wood where the air carries the sharp, clean clarity of high elevation.

Copake Falls maintains a character forged in the legacy of nineteenth-century iron production, an era that left behind the quiet ruins of furnaces and the steady pulse of a local economy now centered on stewardship and recreation. Taconic State Park serves as the primary gateway to these woods, providing access to the Northrop Trail, which invites the traveler to navigate the slopes and ridges that once fueled the regional forge. History persists here in the architecture of the valley, where the remnants of industrial ambition have been surrendered to the encroaching forest. Life in Copake Falls adheres to a deliberate cadence, where the daily concerns of the residents are dictated by the changing foliage and the maintenance of the trails that wind toward Guilder Hollow, ensuring that the intersection of labor and nature remains the defining feature of the landscape.

About This Copake Falls Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Copake Falls, New York. Coordinates: 42.119535, -73.52512. 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 Copake Falls includes the ZIP code (12517), telephone area code (845), county seat of Columbia County (Hudson), and school district assignment (Taconic Hills 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.
