How to Use This New Russia, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for New Russia, 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 New Russia.
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 New Russia, New York
New Russia is a locality in Essex County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 12.0 people per km². New Russia is located at 44.1634°N, 73.6115°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 12964.New Russia emerges as a quiet convergence of steep, timbered slopes and the persistent, cold currents of the Boquet River. It lies 17.9 miles east-southeast of North Elba, NY (from North Elba, NY: bearing 108°T), and is situated 9.7 miles north-northwest of Moriah. The landscape here is defined by the sharp, vertical character of the terrain, where the earth rises into rugged elevations that evoke the distant silhouette of the Adirondack Mountains against the northern sky. Sunlight lingers briefly in the deep hollows before retreating behind the ridges, leaving the air crisp and biting even in the height of the summer season. Nearby, the stillness of Lincoln Pond offers a reflective contrast to the restless motion of the river, while the verdant expanse of the Elizabethtown Town Lands provides a sprawling, untamed backdrop that stretches toward Four Mile Meadow.
Early industry in New Russia once leaned heavily upon the extraction of iron ore and the harvest of local timber, activities that carved the original character of the settlement into the surrounding woods. Today, the pace of life maintains a deliberate, measured quality, far removed from the frantic commerce of the state’s southern reaches. Travelers passing through may pause to observe the raw force of Split Rock Falls, where the water carves through stone with an ancient, tireless rhythm. The legacy of those who first cleared the land remains visible in the sturdy, weathered architecture that persists despite the harsh winters, serving as a quiet reminder of a time when the economy was tethered strictly to the immediate yield of the soil and the forest.

About This New Russia Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of New Russia, New York. Coordinates: 44.163385, -73.611521. 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 New Russia includes the ZIP code (12964), telephone area code (845), county seat of Essex County (Elizabethtown), 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.
