Explore Lake Katrine, New York, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lake Katrine, 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 Katrine.
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.

Lake Katrine occupies a quiet intersection of industrial pragmatism and the soft, encroaching sprawl of woodland, where the horizon is defined by the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Catskill Mountains. It lies 4.1 miles north of Kingston, NY (from Kingston, NY: bearing 7°T), and is situated 6.6 miles south-southwest of Saugerties. The landscape here is defined by a low-lying, industrious patience, characterized by flat stretches of earth that give way to the dense, tangled greenery of the Kingsvale Water Lands. Water moves with a deliberate, singular purpose through the region, fed by the steady, winding currents of Esopus Creek. In the autumn, the light loses its sharp, mid-day intensity, settling instead into a bruised, golden hue that clings to the bark of the trees and the weathered asphalt of the local roads. Even when the air turns brittle with the approaching winter, the stillness of the nearby Glenerie Falls provides a constant, rhythmic pulse that seems to anchor the surrounding terrain.
Commerce in Lake Katrine has long been shaped by the necessity of passage, moving away from the agrarian rhythms of the past toward the modern requirements of distribution and the hum of small-scale enterprise. The Flat, a broad expanse of geography nearby, offers the kind of unyielding terrain that has dictated the pattern of growth, pushing development into organized corridors that skirt the edges of the wilder, marshy zones. Life here moves with the steady, unadorned pace of a place that understands its role in the geography of the inland corridor, where the legacy of earlier settlement remains visible in the sturdy, utilitarian architecture of its older buildings. Residents find a quiet satisfaction in the transition between the paved, busy arteries and the sudden, shadowed silence of the woods. It is a landscape that does not demand attention, yet it rewards the observer who notices how the late afternoon shadow lengthens across the fields, marking the slow, predictable closing of another day.

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.
