How to Use This Lyon Mountain, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lyon Mountain, 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 Lyon Mountain.
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 Lyon Mountain, New York
Lyon Mountain is a locality in Clinton County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 421. The population density is 15.5 people per km². Lyon Mountain is located at 44.7183°N, 73.8663°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 12952, 12955.Lyon Mountain occupies a rugged expanse where the earth feels tight and unyielding, defined by the persistent, cold pulse of Separator Brook carving a path through the dark soil. It lies 22.6 miles west of Plattsburgh, NY (from Plattsburgh, NY: bearing 275°T), and is situated 9.2 miles west of Dannemora. The landscape leans into a quiet, heavy stillness, where the low-hanging light catches the mist rising off the nearby Bradley Pond, painting the surface in shades of slate and bruised iron. From this vantage, the distant Adirondack Mountains rise like jagged, blue-tinted teeth against a pale sky, while the Town of Dannemora Land stretches out in an unbroken reach of wild, untamed growth. Three miles away, the salt-heavy air drifts inland from the South Inlet, suggesting the vast, hidden reach of the open coastline that keeps the atmosphere perpetually damp and restless.
Lyon Mountain bears the weight of a long industrial memory, its character forged in the depth of subterranean shafts that once defined the rhythm of every waking hour. The economy of Lyon Mountain has shifted from the extraction of iron, which once sent men deep into the dark, to a quieter existence that honors the grit of those earlier, harder seasons. While the bustle of the mines has long since retreated, the legacy remains in the stark, resilient architecture that dots the terrain, standing as a quiet counterpoint to the encroaching forest. Life here moves with a slow, deliberate cadence, far removed from the frantic pace of the dense urban centers, where the only urgency is the change of the seasons and the cycle of the water moving through the landscape toward the sea.

About This Lyon Mountain Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lyon Mountain, New York. Coordinates: 44.718317, -73.866297. 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 Lyon Mountain includes the ZIP code (12952, 12955), telephone area code (845), county seat of Clinton County (Plattsburgh), and school district assignment (Northern Adirondack 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.
