How to Use This Minden, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Minden, 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 Minden.
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 Minden, New York
Minden is a locality in Montgomery County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,400. The population density is 28.0 people per km². Minden is located at 42.9308°N, 74.6229°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 13339, 13119.Minden unfolds across a landscape where the Otsquago Creek carves a persistent path through the earth, marking the terrain with the steady, rhythmic pulse of moving water. It lies 16.4 miles west-southwest of Gloversville, NY (from Gloversville, NY: bearing 239°T). The ground rises in quiet swells that speak of a glacial past, eventually yielding to the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains that anchor the horizon. A mile from the center, the still surface of Fort Plains Reservoir holds the sky in a mirror of slate and silver, providing a tranquil counterpoint to the creek’s momentum. Within the boundaries of Minden, the light of late afternoon catches the tall grass of Haslett Park, turning the fields into a textured quilt of amber and deep green. Beyond the immediate reach of these lands, the descent into the nearby Happy Hollow offers a shift in atmosphere, where the air grows cooler and the shadows deepen among the hardwoods.
Minden traces its origins to the industrious migrations of the eighteenth century, when settlers recognized the value of the fertile soil and the reliable power provided by the local waterways. Agriculture remains the quiet backbone of the local economy, with barns and silos punctuating the fields like sentinels of a long-standing tradition. The pace of daily life is measured by the changing seasons and the simple, functional work of maintaining these tracts of land. Residents find a particular pride in the proximity of landmarks like Canajoharie Falls, where the water’s descent provides a visceral reminder of the power inherent in the regional geology. Through the turning of the year, Minden maintains a grounded, unpretentious character, defined by the enduring connection between the people and the persistent, quiet geography they inhabit.

About This Minden Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Minden, New York. Coordinates: 42.930834, -74.622871. 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 Minden includes the ZIP code (13339, 13119), telephone area code (315), county seat of Montgomery County (Fonda), 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.
