How to Use This Kerhonkson, New York Map

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

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.

Kerhonkson anchors itself firmly within a valley landscape where the Rondout Creek carves a meditative path through the earth, defining the rhythm of the local topography. It lies 3.2 miles east-northeast of Wawarsing, NY (from Wawarsing, NY: bearing 70°T), and is situated 6.4 miles northeast of Ellenville. Sunlight filters through the dense canopy of the Town of Wawarsing Land, illuminating the moss-covered stones and dark, loam-rich soil that characterizes this inland expanse. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains rise as a jagged, blue-gray ink line against the sky, while the nearby Kerhonkson Reservoir holds a mirror to the shifting clouds. The air here carries the crisp, sharp scent of damp leaf litter and pine, a reminder of the quietude that permeates the woods and the nearby, shadowed depths of Witches Hole.

History in Kerhonkson remains etched in the structural bones of its older farmsteads and the persistence of its small-scale agrarian economy, which has long relied on the fertile promise of the valley floor. Travelers often find themselves drawn to the vertical drama of Stony Kill Falls, where the water’s descent provides a percussive counterpoint to the otherwise hushed pace of the day. Modern life here unfolds with a deliberate, unadorned quality, balancing the preservation of rugged wilderness—accessible via the Vernooy Falls Trail—with the industrious spirit of those who sustain the local trade. Kerhonkson endures not as a spectacle, but as a persistent, grounded presence, where the changing seasons dictate the tempo of labor and the quiet shifts in the color of the landscape.
