How to Use This Highland Lake, New York Map

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

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 Highland Lake, New York

Highland Lake is a locality in Sullivan County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 580. The population density is 35.0 people per km². Highland Lake is located at 41.5234°N, 74.8513°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 12743.

Highland Lake manifests as a quiet basin of glacial origin, defined by its reflective, deep-water expanse and the dense, deciduous woodlands that press against its irregular perimeter. It lies 22.8 miles west-northwest of Middletown, NY (from Middletown, NY: bearing 284°T), and is situated 4.7 miles northeast of Shohola. Dense stands of oak and maple climb the surrounding slopes, creating a verdant enclosure that keeps the climate temperate and the air heavy with the scent of damp earth and pine needles. One mile to the west, Mill Brook carves a narrow, deliberate path through the forest floor, its movement providing a persistent, low-frequency hum that anchors the landscape. On the horizon, the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains provide a muted blue boundary, reminding the observer that Highland Lake exists within a much larger, ancient geological theater.

Economic life in Highland Lake remains tied to the rhythms of the land and the seasonal influx of visitors who seek the stillness of the Hickok Brook Multiple Use Area. The local character is defined by a slow, methodical stewardship of the terrain, where residents balance modern existence with the preservation of the dense, wooded tracts that characterize this inland territory. Historical footprints are subtle, marked by the remnants of old stone walls that lace through the timber, signaling a time when the region favored small-scale forestry and agriculture. Those who traverse the local landscape often venture toward the Schiff Trail to experience the region’s topography in its most raw, unadorned state, finding that the beauty of Highland Lake lies not in spectacle, but in the enduring, quiet consistency of its seasons.
