How to Use This Horicon, New York Map

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

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 Horicon, New York

Horicon is a locality in Warren County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,400. The population density is 12.0 people per km². Horicon is located at 43.7132°N, 73.7007°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 12815.

Horicon defines itself through the cold, clear expanse of Brant Lake, where the water mirrors the shifting gray of the sky and the dense timber of the surrounding slopes. It lies 23.6 miles north of Queensbury, NY (from Queensbury, NY: bearing 349°T), and is situated 16.7 miles southwest of Ticonderoga. The Spuytenduivel Brook snakes through the landscape with a persistent, low-voiced urgency, carving a path through the earth that serves as the region’s primary artery. Beyond the immediate reach of the lake, the terrain rises into the rugged, forested terrain that eventually connects to the distant Adirondack Mountains, standing as a silent, jagged silhouette against the horizon. The air here holds a crisp, biting quality that seems to sharpen the outlines of every pine and stone, lending a stark, intentional clarity to the morning light.

Horicon survives as a quiet enclave defined by its seasonal rhythms and the preservation of its natural boundaries, with the Lake George Wild Forest providing a massive, protected buffer against encroachment. While the local economy has long leaned on the slow, deliberate pace of land stewardship and small-scale enterprise, the influence of the wilderness remains the dominant force. Residents find their footing in the proximity of the Spectacle Pond Trail, where the ground is thick with needles and the silence is absolute, save for the occasional snap of a branch. Life here is not lived in the swift currents of the modern world, but in the observation of a landscape that demands both respect and a measure of solitude from those who choose to remain.
