How to Use This Lake Hill, New York Map

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

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 Lake Hill, New York

Lake Hill is a locality in Ulster County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 22.0 people per km². Lake Hill is located at 42.0673°N, 74.1871°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 12448.

Lake Hill emerges from the dense, hardwood timber of the interior, defined by the persistent, cold-water pulse of the Beaver Kill that carves its way through the valley floor. It lies 5.2 miles south-southeast of Edgewood, NY (from Edgewood, NY: bearing 166°T), and is situated 4.0 miles west-northwest of Woodstock. High ridges cast long, violet shadows across the terrain as dusk settles, grounding the landscape in a quiet, heavy stillness that feels ancient and undisturbed. The air here holds a crisp, mineral edge, often carrying the scent of damp moss and cooling stone from the nearby heights of the Catskill Mountains. To the east, the earth rises toward the rugged perimeter of Mink Hollow, where the terrain becomes steep and unforgiving, contrasting with the lower, flatter stretches of the Kingston City W W Land that buffer the local topography. The light at day’s end turns the canopy a bruised, metallic gold, illuminating the path where the Willow Trail cuts through the undergrowth, connecting the rugged uplands to the lower, more shadowed reaches of the basin.

Lake Hill remains a place shaped by the deliberate, slow-moving economy of the hinterlands, far removed from the frantic commerce of the lower state. While the Ashokan Reservoir West Basin sits five miles to the south, its presence acts as a silent anchor for the region, dictating the flow of the local watershed and the quiet character of the surrounding woods. Industry here is modest, defined by a long history of land stewardship and the quiet extraction of timber, rather than large-scale manufacturing or urban development. Life in Lake Hill moves in synchronization with the seasons, marked by the arrival of snow in the high elevations and the slow, steady thaw that swells the local creeks. It is a locality that prioritizes the endurance of the forest and the clear, cold currents of the interior over the transient noise of modern expansion, maintaining a deliberate solitude that defines its culture and its people.

About This Lake Hill Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lake Hill, New York. Coordinates: 42.067313, -74.187088. 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 Lake Hill includes the ZIP code (12448), telephone area code (845), county seat of Ulster County (Kingston), 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.
