How to Use This North Creek, New York Map

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

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.

North Creek defines the rugged intersection where the momentum of the North Creek river carves a deliberate path through the earth. It lies 29.0 miles northwest of Queensbury, NY (from Queensbury, NY: bearing 320°T), and is situated 5.6 miles north-northwest of Johnsburg. The air here carries a crisp, mineral sharpness, drifting down from the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Adirondack Mountains to settle over the Town Of Johnsburg Land. Only a mile away, the quiet surface of Rabbit Pond reflects the shifting canopy of hardwood trees, while the surrounding terrain rises in steep, wooded folds that transition toward the distant, low-lying basin of Bog Meadow. At dusk, the light catches the iron-rich soil, turning the ground a bruised, deep bronze before the shadows of the high timber swallow the valley floor.

North Creek retains the indelible signature of its industrial heritage, having long served as a crucial terminus for timber and mineral extraction that once fueled the regional economy. The rhythm of life in North Creek remains tethered to the seasons, shifting from the steady labor of forestry and seasonal transit to the quietude of winter, when the landscape becomes a vast, hushed expanse. While the distant Pack Demonstration Forest continues to represent the region’s long-standing dedication to silviculture, the local character is shaped by a deliberate, patient endurance. The architecture of the older streets echoes a time when rail lines dictated the flow of commerce, and today, that sense of permanence remains, felt in the heavy timber of local structures and the unhurried pace of those who traverse the narrow, winding roads.

About This North Creek Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of North Creek, New York. Coordinates: 43.697843, -73.985966. 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 North Creek includes the ZIP code (12853), telephone area code (845), county seat of Warren County (Queensbury), and school district assignment (Johnsburg 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.
