How to Use This Jackson, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Jackson, 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 Jackson.
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 Jackson, New York
Jackson is a locality in Washington County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,600. The population density is 18.0 people per km². Jackson is located at 43.0857°N, 73.3944°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 12816, 12839.Jackson rises from the quiet, verdant expanse of Washington County as a landscape of sustained, rhythmic agriculture and glacial topography. It lies 12.3 miles east of Gates, NY (from Gates, NY: bearing 92°T), and is situated 5.3 miles east of Greenwich. The terrain here is defined by deep, emerald-hued pastures and the subtle, persistent presence of water, where the Owl Kill winds through the lowlands, carving a path toward the horizon. Only a mile away, the surface of Lake Lauderdale reflects the sky with a mirror-like clarity, offering a tranquil center point to the surrounding fields. While the distant, jagged silhouette of the Adirondack Mountains haunts the far northern edge of the view, the immediate vicinity remains anchored in the fertile, slow-moving reality of the local soil. During the golden hour, the light catches the tall grasses with a pale, amber luminescence, lending the fields an air of profound, settled permanence.
Jackson maintains a quiet economy rooted in the legacy of dairy farming and the diligent stewardship of the land. The history of the area is inscribed in the sturdy, weathered timber of its older barns and the layout of roads that follow the natural contours of Murray Hollow. Public life congregates at Lake Lauderdale Park, where the stillness of the water provides a respite from the seasonal demands of the harvest. Beyond the immediate fields, the dense, shadowed canopy of the Arlington State Forest serves as a reminder of the wilder, uncultivated character that persists just beyond the reach of the plow. Life in Jackson follows the patient clock of the seasons, characterized by a deliberate, measured pace that favors the steady labor of the land over the frantic urgency of more densely populated corridors.

About This Jackson Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Jackson, New York. Coordinates: 43.085694, -73.394447. 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 Jackson includes the ZIP code (12816, 12839), telephone area code (845), county seat of Washington County (Fort Edward), and school district assignment.
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.
