How to Use This Long Lake, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Long 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 Long 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 Long Lake, New York
Long Lake is a locality in Hamilton County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 596. The population density is 24.6 people per km². Long Lake is located at 43.9728°N, 74.4210°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 12847.Long Lake occupies a rugged expanse where the cool, persistent current of Shaw Brook carves through the earth, defining the very pulse of the terrain. It lies 29.8 miles southwest of North Elba, NY (from North Elba, NY: bearing 231°T), and is situated 17.5 miles south of Tupper Lake. The landscape is dominated by the quiet presence of Pine Island, which anchors the local topography as the water flows toward the distant, saline influence of Kellers Bay, only a mile removed from the stillness of the shore. To the horizon, the jagged silhouette of the Adirondack Mountains rises, a constant, hazy reminder of the ancient geology that shapes the horizon. Within the boundaries of the Town Of Long Lake Land, the air carries a sharp, pine-scented clarity, and the light at dusk flattens across the water, turning the surface into a sheet of hammered pewter that seems to hold the weight of the sky.
History within Long Lake remains etched in the persistent economy of the woods and the seasonal rhythms of those who navigate the wilderness. Travelers often look toward the Northville Lake Placid Trail, which serves as a vital artery for those traversing the deeper reaches of the forest, while the nearby waters of Shaw Pond provide a sanctuary of stillness away from the swifter brooks. The local character is forged by the demands of a climate that shifts from heavy winter snows to short, brilliant summers, requiring a resilience that has defined the residents for generations. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, far from the frantic density of the state’s southern reaches, leaving the inhabitants to find their rhythm in the quiet, enduring solitude of the northern woods.

About This Long Lake Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Long Lake, New York. Coordinates: 43.97284, -74.420996. 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 Long Lake includes the ZIP code (12847), telephone area code (845), county seat of Hamilton County (Lake Pleasant), and school district assignment (Long Lake 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.
