How to Use This Mount Vernon, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Mount Vernon, 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 Vernon.
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.

ZIP codes: 12790, 10552.Mount Vernon anchors the undulating terrain of its region with a density that suggests the weight of long-settled earth and stone. It lies 10.5 miles southwest of Wawarsing, NY (from Wawarsing, NY: bearing 223°T), and is situated 10.0 miles east of Monticello. The landscape here is defined by a persistent, inland gravity, far removed from the shifting edges of the continent, where the horizon remains anchored by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains. Primrose Brook traces a quiet, persistent line through the local topography, its waters carving a path that has long dictated the flow of human movement through these slopes. Nearby, the Painter Hill Multiple Use Area offers a preserve of unmanicured woodland, providing a necessary breath of untamed air just two miles from the bustling pace of the streets. When the light leans low in the late afternoon, it catches the brickwork and glass of the neighborhood, turning the gray, utilitarian facades into something momentarily luminous and soft.
Mount Vernon carries the patina of a place that has served as a crucible for industrious ambition, evolving from its early days into a diverse, energetic waypoint for those moving through the state. The local economy relies on a complex interplay of commerce and transit, sustained by the constant, rhythmic churn of people commuting toward the centers of regional power. History here is not merely a collection of dates but is written into the varied architectural styles that line the avenues, reflecting shifts in industry and demographic tides over many generations. While the roar of modern transit often dominates the auditory landscape, one can still find the quietude of a suburban afternoon near the water of Katz Pond or the secluded splash of Nevele Falls, where the frantic pulse of the day seems to dampen against the natural surroundings. It is a place of perpetual motion, where the grit of urban survival is balanced by a stubborn, quiet attachment to the land itself.

About This Mount Vernon Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mount Vernon, New York. Coordinates: 40.913105, -73.829317. 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 Vernon includes the ZIP code (12790, 10552), telephone area code (845, 914), county seat of Sullivan County (Monticello), and school district assignment (Mount Vernon School District).
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.
