Explore Peekskill, New York, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Peekskill, 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 Peekskill.
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.

Peekskill occupies a rugged stretch of land where the earth rises to meet the sky in a series of dramatic elevations. It lies 4.0 miles southwest of Putnam Valley, NY (from Putnam Valley, NY: bearing 217°T), and is situated 9.3 miles north-northwest of Ossining. The influence of the water is never far away, as the proximity to Peekskill Bay brings a maritime quality to the evening air, cooling the streets after the sun dips low. To the east, the stillness of New Croton Reservoir offers a quiet contrast to the persistent, rhythmic flow of McGregory Brook as it carves through the terrain. While the distant Appalachian Mountains appear as a faint, jagged line upon the horizon, the immediate landscape is defined by the dense, tangled greenery of Black Rock Forest and the accessible, open spaces of City Of Peekskill Land. Travelers often find their way toward the quiet expanse of Ring Meadow, a basin that holds the morning mist long after the rest of the world has stirred.
Peekskill emerged from the necessity of trade and industry, building its foundations upon the steady pulse of manufacturing and the labor of those who recognized the utility of the nearby waterways. The economy has shifted through the decades, evolving from the early grit of heavy production to a modern focus on commerce and creative endeavor. While the smoke of the old factories has cleared, the architectural bones of the industrial era remain, lending a grounded, honest weight to the local streetscape. The quiet industry of the past has left a legacy of resilience, allowing the current local economy to flourish through the efforts of residents who value the tangible results of their work. Fish Island stands as a silent sentinel in the bay, a reminder of the maritime routes that once dictated the fortunes of the local merchants. This history remains visible in the sturdy brick facades that line the center, standing as enduring witnesses to the changing tides of commerce.
Peekskill possesses a cultural character defined by an eclectic spirit and a persistent dedication to the arts that colors the daily atmosphere. The vibrant energy of the district is often punctuated by local events that bring the residents together, fostering a sense of shared belonging that feels both modern and deeply rooted. Landmarks such as the historic Paramount Center for the Arts serve as anchors for the local creative community, drawing performers who appreciate the town's unique aesthetic. Among those who have left their mark on the world, the actor Mel Gibson spent formative years here, and the musician Paul Reuben—known to many as Pee-wee Herman—also claimed a connection to the area during his youth. Whether walking the paths of the Redoubt Trail or exploring the galleries that now occupy former industrial warehouses, one senses a place that embraces its own transformation. The light at dusk casts long, golden shadows across the pavement, revealing a town that is comfortable in its skin and confident in its future.

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.
