How to Use This Merritt Park, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Merritt Park, 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 Merritt Park.
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 Merritt Park, New York
Merritt Park is a locality in Dutchess County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,647. The population density is 1438.7 people per km². Merritt Park is located at 41.5385°N, 73.8723°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 12524.Merritt Park occupies a quiet corner of the landscape where the insistent, low-frequency rush of Fishkill Creek defines the local pulse. It lies 1.4 miles east of Fishkill, NY (from Fishkill, NY: bearing 82°T), and is situated 7.5 miles east-northeast of Newburgh. The terrain here holds a steady, grounded posture, characterized by wide swaths of inland meadows and dense, encroaching woodland that stretches toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains on the horizon. Light descends with a particular, heavy clarity in the late afternoon, catching the amber hues of the tall grasses and casting long, thin shadows across the earth. Residents often look toward the nearby Town of Fishkill Land for a sense of open space, finding a quietude that persists even as the modern world hums just beyond the perimeter of these fields.
Merritt Park carries the weight of a regional history rooted in the slow, methodical development of the interior, long removed from the frantic pace of the trade arteries to the south. The local economy maintains a spare, utilitarian character, favoring small-scale commerce and the rhythms of a society that values its distance from the denser urban centers. While the sprawling, shadowed reaches of Black Rock Forest provide a wilder contrast to the manicured edges of the neighborhood, the community remains tethered to the steady flow of the nearby creek. Life in Merritt Park moves with a deliberate, unadorned precision, reflecting a landscape that has learned to endure, season by season, beneath the shifting, pale skies of the inland plains.

About This Merritt Park Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Merritt Park, New York. Coordinates: 41.5385, -73.8723. 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 Merritt Park includes the ZIP code (12524), telephone area code (845), county seat of Dutchess County (Poughkeepsie), and school district assignment (Wappingers 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.
