How to Use This Highland Falls, New York Map

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

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.

Highland Falls occupies a rugged expanse of terrain where the Highland Brook cuts a path through the earth, carving a rhythmic cadence into the quiet landscape. It lies 5.3 miles west-northwest of Putnam Valley, NY (from Putnam Valley, NY: bearing 296°T), and is situated 9.6 miles west-northwest of Yorktown. Dense woodlands of Black Rock Forest press inward from the periphery, their shadow cooling the air and defining the dense, verdant character of the surroundings. Near the center of this terrain, the waters of Roe Pond collect in a silent basin, reflecting the changing light of the seasons against the backdrop of the Town Of Highlands Land. Visitors often seek out the thunderous descent of Buttermilk Falls, where the water fractures against the stone, creating a permanent, fine mist that clings to the mossy rocks. The light here at dusk possesses a peculiar clarity, catching the edges of the leaves and turning the canopy into a mosaic of deep, muted bronze.

History permeates the streets of Highland Falls, which serves as a neighbor to the venerable institution that has trained generations of officers for the nation’s military. This proximity shapes the local economy and provides a disciplined, orderly tempo to the daily life of the residents, who walk paths like the Redoubt Trail that wind through the hills as they have for decades. Beyond the immediate municipal boundaries, the terrain opens toward the distant Appalachian Mountains, which form a jagged, purple silhouette against the western sky. Two miles away, the quiet openness of Marys Meadow offers a stark contrast to the structured activity of the nearby academy. The atmosphere remains grounded, defined by a legacy of service and the enduring, quiet persistence of the surrounding wilderness.
