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 Schenectady 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 portion of the interior landscape where the earth settles into the gentle depressions of Pleasant Valley. It lies 1.2 miles south-southwest of Schenectady, NY (from Schenectady, NY: bearing 200°T), and is situated 6.7 miles north-northwest of Guilderland. The terrain here is defined by the persistent presence of the City of Schenectady Land, which blankets the immediate surroundings and anchors the local topography in a state of protected stillness. Only a mile away, the Poentic Kill carves its narrow path through the soil, offering a constant, low-frequency murmur that punctuates the stillness of the afternoon. While the distant Appalachian Mountains appear as a faint, jagged suggestion of violet against the horizon, the land itself remains defined by these more intimate shifts in elevation and the quiet, verdant expanse of the regional woodland.
History in Mount Pleasant remains tethered to the slow, deliberate pace of land cultivation and the gradual expansion of inland commerce. The local economy finds its footing in the quiet utility of the surrounding acreage, where the rhythm of the day is marked less by the clamor of industry and more by the steady, seasonal work of maintaining the grounds and the nearby City of Schenectady Land. Residents often look toward the Colonie Reservoir when the light turns thin and amber at dusk, watching how the water catches the fading sun to mirror the surrounding trees. Life here persists without pretense, a steady accumulation of routines practiced in a place that prefers to keep its own counsel, far removed from the frantic pace of the wider world.

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 Schenectady County (Schenectady), 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.
