How to Use This Kiamesha Lake, New York Map

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

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 Kiamesha Lake, New York

Kiamesha Lake is a locality in Sullivan County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 320. The population density is 121.1 people per km². Kiamesha Lake is located at 41.6831°N, 74.6607°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 12751.

Kiamesha Lake holds the quiet, dark reflection of the sky within its basin, acting as the central anchor for a landscape defined by deep woods and the winding passage of Kiamesha Creek. It lies 16.5 miles west-southwest of Wawarsing, NY (from Wawarsing, NY: bearing 252°T), and is situated 2.4 miles northeast of Monticello. The terrain here rises in long, steady swells of earth, buffered from the distant, jagged silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains by miles of dense timber and thicket. Within the Kiamesha Water Works Lands, the undergrowth remains undisturbed, a tangle of brush and ancient roots that thrive in the damp, cooling shadows of the valley floor. As the sun dips behind the treeline, the light flattens into a pale, bruised violet, casting long, thin silhouettes across the surface of the water that seem to vibrate with the coming cold.

Kiamesha Lake carries the weight of a mid-century evolution, having transitioned from a bustling destination for summer retreats into a quieter, more introspective geography of year-round residents and evolving industry. The region maintains a deliberate pace, far removed from the frantic pulse of the urban centers to the south, where the economy once leaned heavily on hospitality but now finds its rhythm in the subtle maintenance of the land and local trade. To the north, the water of Katrina Falls drops over stone ledges with a persistent, percussive hum, serving as a reminder of the steady erosion that has shaped this topography over generations. Life here is measured by the changing density of the forest canopy and the way the air thins as the seasons turn, leaving the inhabitants to navigate a landscape that remains indifferent to the passing of time.

About This Kiamesha Lake Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Kiamesha Lake, New York. Coordinates: 41.683147, -74.660716. 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 Kiamesha Lake includes the ZIP code (12751), telephone area code (845), county seat of Sullivan County (Monticello), and school district assignment (Monticello 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.
