How to Use This Durham, New York Map

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

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.

Durham occupies a landscape where the earth rises in slow, deliberate swells toward the distant silhouette of the Catskill Mountains. It lies 18.0 miles north of Edgewood, NY (from Edgewood, NY: bearing 7°T), and is situated 4.3 miles west-northwest of East Durham. The air here holds a distinct crispness, cooling rapidly as the sun retreats behind the uneven horizon, casting long, thin shadows across the fields. Only a mile away, the persistent flow of Catskill Creek cuts through the bedrock, its rhythmic movement providing a constant, low-frequency pulse to the quiet woods. To the northwest, the terrain dips into the quiet basin of Squirmer Valley, while the surrounding acreage of the Town of Durham Land offers a quiet expanse of untamed brush and timber that defines the local horizon.

Durham retains the character of a place built on the steady labor of the soil and the slow turning of seasons. Early settlers recognized the promise of these fertile flats, and for generations, the local economy relied upon the bounty of the land, shifting from agrarian roots toward a modern appreciation for the quietude of upstate life. A few miles away, the stillness of Lake Heloise mirrors the changing sky, offering a sanctuary from the frantic pace of life further south. Those who wander toward the water at Rensselaerville Falls witness the raw persistence of gravity, a sight that has remained largely unchanged since the first homesteaders arrived to clear the timber. Whether tending to the land or simply watching the light fade over the fields, life in Durham moves with a deliberate, unforced grace.
