How to Use This East Jewett, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for East Jewett, 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 East Jewett.
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 East Jewett, New York
East Jewett is a locality in Greene County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 280. The population density is 8.0 people per km². East Jewett is located at 42.2351°N, 74.1454°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 12424.East Jewett emerges from the earth as a series of high, shadowed ridges and verdant clearings where the East Kill carves a winding path through the heavy soil. It lies 7.4 miles north-northeast of Edgewood, NY (from Edgewood, NY: bearing 28°T), and is situated 8.7 miles west-southwest of Cairo. The landscape is defined by the sharp, upward thrust of terrain that leads the eye toward the distant Catskill Mountains, which remain a permanent, hazy presence on the horizon. Sunlight here has a peculiar, cool clarity, filtering through the dense canopy of the Colgate Lake Wild Forest to illuminate the damp moss and ferns that blanket the forest floor. A mile away, the surface of Onteora Pond remains as still as burnished metal, reflecting the shifting clouds that drift over the deep, secluded basin of Shanty Hollow. The air holds a persistent, crisp edge, carrying the scent of pine and wet stone even in the height of the summer heat.
East Jewett carries the quiet weight of a place built upon the rugged labor of early settlers who cleared the dense timber to establish a foothold in the wilderness. Today, the economy leans into a delicate balance of small-scale agriculture and the seasonal rhythm of travelers seeking the solitude of the interior. The local pace is dictated by the turning of the seasons, moving from the quiet preparation of spring to the intense, amber-hued brilliance of autumn. Those who venture further into the landscape might follow the Spruceton Trail to traverse the spine of the higher ground, or travel five miles to witness the plummeting, crystalline weight of Kaaterskill Falls. Life here is not measured by industry or commerce, but by the slow, deliberate work of maintaining a life in the shadow of such immense and indifferent natural beauty.

About This East Jewett Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of East Jewett, New York. Coordinates: 42.235087, -74.145417. 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 East Jewett includes the ZIP code (12424), telephone area code (845), county seat of Greene County (Catskill), and school district assignment.
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.
