How to Use This Hunter, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Hunter, 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 Hunter.
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 Hunter, New York
Hunter is a locality in Greene County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 429. The population density is 89.3 people per km². Hunter is located at 42.2137°N, 74.2188°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. Hunter is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 12442.Hunter emerges from the rugged terrain where the Schoharie Creek carves a persistent, cold path through the valley floor. It lies 5.1 miles north of Edgewood, NY (from Edgewood, NY: bearing 356°T), and is situated 16.6 miles northwest of Saugerties. High above the stream, the landscape rises toward the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Catskill Mountains, grounding the horizon in a permanent, stony posture. The air here holds a crisp, thinning quality that seems to sharpen the edges of the hemlocks and maples, especially as sunlight fails against the steep walls of Shanty Hollow. Within the immediate reach of the Village of Hunter Land, the earth feels dense and ancient, occasionally softening toward the quiet, reflective surface of Dolans Lake.
Hunter sustains itself through a seasonal pulse that favors the verticality of the slopes and the long, snowy winters that define the local economy. Beyond the commerce of the ski lifts, the legacy of the region remains tied to the hard labor of the timber and tanning industries that once cleared these slopes, leaving behind a scarred but recovering woodland. Those who wander the Spruceton Trail find a quiet intensity in the woods, a stillness that persists even when the distant rush of Buttermilk Falls is muffled by the wind. Life in Hunter maintains a measured, deliberate pace, reflecting a history where the land dictated the limits of growth and the inhabitants adapted to the rhythmic demands of an unforgiving, high-altitude climate.

About This Hunter Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hunter, New York. Coordinates: 42.213699, -74.218754. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Hunter includes the ZIP code (12442), telephone area code (845), county seat of Greene County (Catskill), and school district assignment (Hunter-Tannersville Central School District).
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.
