Explore Mount Marion, New York, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Mount Marion, 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 Mount Marion.
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.

Mount Marion defines the character of its landscape through the persistent, rhythmic passage of the Plattekill Creek, which carves a deliberate path through the terrain. It lies 3.2 miles south-southwest of Saugerties, NY (from Saugerties, NY: bearing 213°T), and is situated 7.7 miles north of Kingston. The air here holds a crispness born of inland elevation, carrying the scent of damp earth and cooling stone as it moves across the local topography. To the west, the distant Catskill Mountains loom as a jagged, purple silhouette against the sky, grounding the horizon in ancient, weathered rock. Within the immediate vicinity, the landscape opens into the protected expanse of Mount Marion Park Lands, where the dense deciduous canopy softens the quality of the afternoon light into long, amber shafts. A mile away, the sudden, percussive rush of Glenerie Falls marks a sharp transition in the elevation, where the water spills over tiered shale with a persistence that echoes against the quiet of the woods.
Mount Marion maintains a steady, deliberate pace of life that reflects its long-standing connection to the interior corridors of the state. While the regional economy has shifted through the decades, the echoes of former industrial activity remain imprinted upon the local architecture and the quietude of the surrounding fields. Residents often look toward the nearby Lake Katrine for a sense of stillness, a body of water that mirrors the changing seasons with a stark, silver clarity. Further afield, the topography dips toward the low-lying basin of Lewis Hollow, creating a natural drainage that feeds the fertile soil of the surrounding acreage. Life in Mount Marion is measured by the slow cycle of the seasons—the biting cold of winter that stills the creek, and the vibrant, sudden green of spring that reclaims the hillsides—offering a quiet consistency that favors the observant traveler over the hurried passerby.

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.
