How to Use This Nassau, New York Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Nassau, 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 Nassau.

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 Nassau, New York

Nassau is a locality in Rensselaer County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,103. The population density is 609.3 people per km².

Nassau occupies a landscape defined by the steady, persistent flow of the Valatie Kill, which carves a path through the earth before the water gathers into the stillness of Nassau Lake nearby. It lies 3.4 miles east of Schodack, NY (from Schodack, NY: bearing 94°T), and is situated 7.0 miles southeast of East Greenbush. The horizon remains dominated by the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Catskill Mountains, providing a jagged backdrop to the local topography of temperate woods and cleared fields. Within the immediate borders, the Village of Nassau Land offers a quiet expanse of open ground where the light shifts from gold to a cool, bruised violet as the sun dips behind the treeline. The air here holds a crispness that speaks of the inland altitude, far removed from the heavy moisture of the coast, settling instead into the damp, earthy scent of leaf mold and moving water.

Industry in Nassau has long been tethered to the rhythm of the seasons and the practical needs of a rural interior, shifting from early agricultural roots to a modern, modest pace of commerce. Remnants of historical sawmills and small-scale manufacturing once drew energy from the local waterways, leaving behind a legacy of quiet resilience that persists in the architecture of the older buildings. While the Capital District Forest and Game Refuge provides a vast, untamed buffer twelve miles away, the daily life of Nassau centers on the steady, unassuming movement of neighbors passing through the intersection of local roads. It is a place where the economy is measured in the reliability of local services and the upkeep of family properties, maintaining an atmosphere of deliberate, unhurried continuity that defines the character of the region.

About This Nassau Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Nassau, New York. Coordinates: 42.515914, -73.610116. 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 Nassau includes the ZIP code (12123), telephone area code (518), county seat of Rensselaer County (Troy), and school district assignment (East Greenbush Central 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.
