How to Use This Elizabethtown, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Elizabethtown, 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 Elizabethtown.
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 Elizabethtown, New York
Elizabethtown is a locality in Essex County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 746. The population density is 87.2 people per km². Elizabethtown is located at 44.2261°N, 73.5889°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 13357, 12932.Elizabethtown occupies the floor of Pleasant Valley, where the persistent current of The Branch carves a path through the earth. It lies 18.1 miles east of North Elba, NY (from North Elba, NY: bearing 96°T), and is situated 12.9 miles south-southeast of Jay. The air here holds a crisp, high-altitude clarity, cooling rapidly as the sun retreats behind the distant, jagged silhouettes of the Adirondack Mountains. Within the boundaries of the Town Of Elizabethtown Land, the ground rises in quiet slopes that catch the amber light of late afternoon, illuminating the textures of shale and meadow grass. A mere two miles away, the surface of Little Pond remains undisturbed, reflecting the dense canopy of the surrounding woods and providing a silent anchor to the landscape. The stillness is punctuated only by the rhythmic movement of the water, a constant presence that defines the physical character of the basin.
Elizabethtown maintains a deliberate pace, rooted in a history of inland industry that once favored the exploitation of iron ore and timber. While the echoes of those extractive trades have faded, the economy now leans into a quiet stewardship of the regional geography, supporting those who look toward the nearby wilderness for sustenance and recreation. Travelers occasionally seek out the power of Split Rock Falls or test their endurance on the Weston Trail, yet the daily life of the residents remains tethered to the local rhythm of the seasons. Despite the reach of modern commerce, life in Elizabethtown retains a singular focus, shaped by the isolation of the valley and the demanding, beautiful terrain that keeps the sprawl of the outside world at a respectful distance.

About This Elizabethtown Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Elizabethtown, New York. Coordinates: 44.226132, -73.588933. 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 Elizabethtown includes the ZIP code (13357, 12932), telephone area code (315, 845), county seat of Essex County (Elizabethtown), and school district assignment (Boquet Valley Central School District at Elizabethtown-Lewis-Westport).
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.
