How to Use This Glen Wild, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Glen Wild, 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 Glen Wild.
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 Glen Wild, New York
Glen Wild is a locality in Sullivan County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 680. The population density is 35.0 people per km². Glen Wild is located at 41.6540°N, 74.5868°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 12738.Glen Wild occupies a quiet intersection of dense woodland and sudden, sharp declivities where the air grows thin and pine-scented as the afternoon wanes. It lies 13.9 miles west-southwest of Wawarsing, NY (from Wawarsing, NY: bearing 239°T), and is situated 5.3 miles east of Monticello. Fowlwood Brook cuts a persistent, winding path through the heavy soil, its waters moving with a deliberate, cold clarity that mirrors the stillness of the surrounding timber. Only a mile distant, the surface of Bowers Pond remains glassy and undisturbed, acting as a dark, reflective anchor for the low-lying valleys. From the higher elevations, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains provides a permanent, jagged backdrop against the horizon, reminding the observer of the ancient geological forces that shaped this rugged interior.
Glen Wild serves as a testament to the persistent, quiet labor of those who settled the interior, moving away from the clamor of the more populated lowlands to carve a life from the dense, unyielding forest. The local economy has long shifted from early extractive efforts to a seasonal rhythm, marked by the nearby presence of Holiday Mountain Ski Area, which draws a steady, fleeting population when the winter frosts settle deep into the ground. A short distance away, the cascading waters of Katrina Falls offer a more solitary, visceral experience of the landscape, where the roar of the water breaks the silence of the woods. Life here operates with an understated gravity, where the shift in light across the trees dictates the pace of the day far more than the ticking of a clock.

About This Glen Wild Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Glen Wild, New York. Coordinates: 41.653981, -74.586827. 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 Glen Wild includes the ZIP code (12738), telephone area code (845), county seat of Sullivan County (Monticello), 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.
