How to Use This Merrill, New York Map

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

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 Merrill, New York

Merrill is a locality in Clinton County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 12.0 people per km². Merrill is located at 44.7648°N, 73.9582°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 12955.

Merrill claims the quiet, low-slung expanse where the Weed Brook cuts a persistent, silver path through the dark soil. It lies 25.2 miles west of Plattsburgh, NY (from Plattsburgh, NY: bearing 280°T), and is situated 17.5 miles east-southeast of Malone. The water of Upper Chateaugay Lake occupies the center of the local view, reflecting a sky that often turns the color of hammered iron before the evening settles in. To the east, the horizon is held by the distant blue silhouette of the Adirondack Mountains, standing as a silent, jagged boundary against the clouds. Only a mile away, the quietude of the Town Of Ellenburg Land offers a respite of deep, undisturbed acreage, while the small shape of Moffitt Island sits anchored in the stillness of the water. The air here holds a crispness that suggests the nearby coast, as the influence of the sea arrives via South Inlet to temper the inland heat.

Merrill persists through a rhythm defined by the seasons and the slow, steady work of those who remain tethered to the land. The economy relies on the stewardship of the surrounding woods and the maintenance of the seasonal camps that dot the shore, drawing those who seek the solitude of the northern woods. History here is quiet, preserved in the weathered wood of structures that have seen decades of winter ice and the gradual reclamation of the forest. Near the proximity of Clinton State Forest Number Eight, the timber industry once provided the primary pulse of the region, leaving behind a legacy of resilience and self-reliance. Life in Merrill moves with the water, unhurried and observant, where the arrival of autumn leaves and the eventual freeze of the lake dictate the shifting pace of the days.

About This Merrill Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Merrill, New York. Coordinates: 44.764765, -73.9582. 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 Merrill includes the ZIP code (12955), telephone area code (845), county seat of Clinton County (Plattsburgh), 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.
