Explore Highland Mills, 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 Highland Mills, 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 Mills.
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 Mills occupies a quiet intersection of geography where the Woodbury Creek carves a persistent, narrow path through the landscape. It lies 1.6 miles southwest of Woodbury Orange County, NY (from Woodbury Orange County, NY: bearing 221°T), and is situated 2.2 miles east of Kiryas Joel. The earth here holds a certain heavy dampness, particularly during the transition of seasons when the air grows thin and sharp against the skin. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the terrain rises into elevations that suggest the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains on the horizon. To the north, the dense, shadowed canopy of Black Rock Forest offers an imposing contrast to the open fields of the Town Of Woodbury Land, where the light at dusk settles in long, bruised purples across the grass. Two miles distant, Lebanon Lake remains a silent mirror, its surface undisturbed by the movement of the nearby roads, while the terrain tilts toward the sheltered depression of Blaggs Clove.
Highland Mills retains a character forged by its history as a place of transit and industry, where the early reliance on water power and the passage of rail have left faint, weathered impressions on the local architecture. The economy has shifted from its foundational roots into a modern rhythm that favors the steady, measured pace of a professional commuter population, though the underlying agrarian legacy persists in the way the land is still parceled and worked. Residents often find their way toward the Stillwell Lake Trail, a passage that demands a slow, deliberate engagement with the dense undergrowth and the flinty, unforgiving soil. Despite the encroaching influence of modern development, Highland Mills maintains a distinct, solitary composure, defined by the persistent flow of the creek and a sense of stillness that seems to emanate from the deep, undisturbed woods nearby.

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.
