Explore Ravena, 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 Ravena, 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 Ravena.
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.

Ravena occupies a sturdy stretch of land defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of Hannacrois Creek as it carves through the local topography toward the distant horizon. It lies 7.9 miles west-southwest of Schodack, NY (from Schodack, NY: bearing 244°T), and is situated 1.3 miles west-southwest of Coeymans. The landscape surrounding Ravena bears the quiet weight of the interior, where the air holds a crisp, terrestrial clarity far removed from any temperate influence of the coast. To the west, the jagged, blue-tinted silhouette of the Catskill Mountains anchors the skyline, while the immediate terrain is marked by the modest, purposeful greenery of Village of Ravena Land. Here, the light of late afternoon catches the silt-heavy water of the creek, casting long, amber shadows across the fields that stretch toward the basin of Upper Schodack Island. It is a place of deliberate movement, where the geological history of the region is written in the shale and the quiet, persistent erosion of the earth.
Ravena emerged from the intersecting lines of industry and rail, a settlement grounded in the hard-edged reality of production and the transport of goods. The local economy has long been defined by the architecture of utility, where the labor of the past continues to inform the pace of the present, favoring a steady, industrious cadence over the frantic rush of metropolitan life. Residents here maintain a connection to the deeper landscape, often seeking the solitude found near the waters of Alcove Reservoir or the sudden, vertical rush of Meadow Falls. While the modern world presses in with its demands, the character of Ravena remains tied to a heritage of grit and self-reliance, observed in the way the morning mist clings to the trees and the slow, reliable turn of the seasons across the open, upstate plains.

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.
