Explore Henderson, New York, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Henderson, 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 Henderson.
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.

Henderson maintains a quiet, deliberate presence where the winding Stony Creek carves a path through the landscape, acting as a persistent pulse for the surrounding earth. It lies 16.1 miles west-southwest of Watertown, NY (from Watertown, NY: bearing 237°T), and is situated 19.5 miles north of Pulaski. The water here is a constant companion, as Henderson sits only a short distance from the expansive reach of Henderson Bay and the still, dark surface of Henderson Pond. In the distance, the faint, rugged silhouette of Duck-Galloo Ridge anchors the horizon, providing a permanent boundary to the open sky. The terrain within the Henderson Town of Land is defined by a low-slung, pastoral grace, where the soil holds the chill of the northern latitudes and the air often carries a sharp, saline clarity from the nearby water.
Life in Henderson is informed by a long-standing relationship with the water, tracing back to early maritime interests and the seasonal rhythms of a regional economy tied to the land and the harbor. Hoveys Island remains a silent point of interest in the local geography, a reminder of the shifting boundaries between the solid earth and the fluid, unpredictable nature of the bay. Residents here navigate a pace dictated by the turning of the seasons, moving between the demands of local agriculture and the quiet maintenance of a life lived close to the water’s edge. There is a particular quality to the light in Henderson, a cool, pale illumination that settles over the fields and the banks of the Stony Creek, marking the passage of days that feel both anchored and vast.

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.
