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 Saratoga 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 occupies a quiet, inland stretch of terrain defined by the persistent, dark currents of Black Creek. It lies 10.5 miles west-northwest of Saratoga Springs, NY (from Saratoga Springs, NY: bearing 298°T), and is situated 9.9 miles north-northeast of Galway. The landscape here is characterized by the dense, protected woodland of Lake Desolation State Forest, which blankets the earth in a canopy of deep green and heavy shadow. Archer Vly rests in the center of this expanse, a reflective stillness that mirrors the shifting clouds and the changing seasons. The air feels thick with the scent of damp loam and decaying leaves, a reminder that the wild growth is always reclaiming the periphery of the paths. On the distant horizon, the jagged silhouette of the Adirondack Mountains rises like a faint, purple bruise against the pale sky, anchoring the view and lending a sense of immense, geologic scale to the immediate, intimate forest floor.
Mount Pleasant serves as a silent witness to the slow, deliberate work of the inland interior, far from the frantic pace of the coast. The local economy and life here are shaped by the rhythms of the forest, where the timber and the soil have dictated the terms of survival since the first clearings were carved into the brush. While the proximity to the deep shadows of Devils Den and the distant, rushing force of Eggleston Falls adds a rugged texture to the regional geography, the daily existence remains centered on the quiet endurance of the woodland. People here move with the caution of those who understand that they are guests within the boundaries of a vast state forest, finding a specific, solitary beauty in the way the light filters through the trees during the long, hushed afternoons of autumn.

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 Saratoga County (Ballston Spa), 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.
