How to Use This Lew Beach, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lew Beach, 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 Lew Beach.
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 Lew Beach, New York
Lew Beach is a locality in Sullivan County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 280. The population density is 8.0 people per km². Lew Beach is located at 42.0048°N, 74.7849°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 12758, 12753.Lew Beach emerges from the shadowed floor of Whitcomb Hollow, where the cold, clear pulse of Shin Creek carves a narrow path through the dense, verdant architecture of the landscape. It lies 27.8 miles northwest of Wawarsing, NY (from Wawarsing, NY: bearing 308°T), and is situated 14.2 miles north of Liberty. The ground rises sharply into the surrounding terrain, a rugged expanse that serves as a terrestrial precursor to the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains. To the west, the canopy of the Willowemoc Wild Forest offers a vast, untamed depth of hemlock and hardwood, while the quiet surface of Little Pond remains a singular, reflective eye in the landscape only three miles away. In the late afternoon, the light here does not merely fade; it thickens, catching the moisture rising from the creek bed to drape the valley in a cool, silvered haze that blurs the line between the earth and the darkening timber.
Lew Beach maintains a sparse, deliberate existence, defined less by industry than by the persistence of the quiet life that has occupied these hills since the early settlers first cleared the timber. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the seasons and the preservation of the surrounding woods, favoring a stewardship of the land over the clamor of expansion. History here is kept in the weathered siding of old structures and the memories held by those who navigate the winding, unhurried roads that follow the contours of the valley floor. It is a place where the passage of time is measured by the changing color of the leaves and the seasonal swell of the water, offering a stillness that feels like a deliberate, hard-won sanctuary from the frantic pace of the world beyond the hollow.

About This Lew Beach Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lew Beach, New York. Coordinates: 42.004811, -74.784881. 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 Lew Beach includes the ZIP code (12758, 12753), telephone area code (845), county seat of Sullivan County (Monticello), 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.
