How to Use This Mount Pleasant, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Mount Pleasant, 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 Pleasant.
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 Mount Pleasant, New York
Mount Pleasant is a locality in Oswego County, New York, United States. Mount Pleasant is located at 42.0484°N, 74.2890°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 12457, 10594.Mount Pleasant emerges from the landscape as a quiet confluence of woodland and water, defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of Bell Creek just a mile from its center. It lies 4.9 miles north-northeast of Fulton, NY (from Fulton, NY: bearing 24°T), and is situated 8.2 miles southeast of Oswego. The air here carries a crisp, inland clarity, far removed from the saline reach of the distant coastline, yet the moisture gathered by Paddy Pond two miles away softens the light during the long, amber hours of dusk. To the west, the flat expanse of Beaver Meadow provides a low-lying contrast to the more rugged, timbered reaches that stretch toward the distant Appalachian Mountains, which appear as a faint, violet shadow against the horizon. The terrain is a composition of dense thickets and clearings, where the stillness is interrupted only by the rustle of leaves in the Volney Town Lands, a sprawling refuge that keeps the encroaching pace of modern development at bay.
Mount Pleasant maintains a measured, industrious character that traces its lineage to the early settlers who recognized the potential of the local waterways and the fertile, sheltered soil. The economy remains tethered to a blend of legacy land use and a steady, modern commerce that finds its anchor near the steady activity at Canal Landing Marina - Fulton, where the movement of goods and vessels mirrors the town’s own deliberate progress. Nearby, the presence of Battle Island serves as a quiet reminder of the area’s enduring geography, a solitary landform that has watched the seasons cycle through the valleys for generations. Daily life in Mount Pleasant unfolds with a steady, unforced cadence, where the local schools and the quiet commerce of the main thoroughfares reflect a preference for substance over spectacle, grounding the identity of the inhabitants in the enduring reality of the earth beneath them.

About This Mount Pleasant Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mount Pleasant, New York. Coordinates: 42.048425, -74.289036. 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 Mount Pleasant includes the ZIP code (12457, 10594), telephone area code (845, 914), county seat of Oswego County (Oswego), 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.
