Explore Riverside, 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 Riverside, 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 Riverside.
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.

Riverside anchors itself firmly upon the verdant, rolling terrain of the upstate interior, where the persistent current of the Hudson River defines the western edge of the local geography. It lies 6.0 miles northeast of Clifton Park, NY (from Clifton Park, NY: bearing 53°T), and is situated 6.6 miles north-northeast of Halfmoon. The landscape here is characterized by a quiet, terrestrial gravity, far removed from the saline influence of the distant coast, instead favoring the deep, verdant soil of the inland plains. Sunlight at dusk catches the heavy, dark water of the river, casting long, bruised shadows across the fields that stretch toward the horizon. To the east, the earth rises in subtle, rhythmic swells, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains provides a permanent, silent boundary against the pale sky. Within the immediate vicinity, the Stillwater Town Lands offer an expansive, protected space where the natural state of the land remains undisturbed by the encroaching modern pace, preserving the heavy, humid stillness of the regional woods.
Riverside maintains a character forged by the persistent labor of those who have historically navigated the river’s path and the surrounding fertile earth. The economy here remains tethered to the rhythms of the land and the strategic utility of the waterway, which once served as a primary conduit for the movement of goods through the interior. Residents often find themselves drawing a sense of continuity from the proximity of the Mechanicville Reservoir, a reliable, glassy expanse that anchors the regional water supply just a short distance away. Life moves with a deliberate, measured cadence, punctuated by the occasional excursion to the Wilkinson National Recreation Trail, where the ground is worn smooth by generations of footfalls. Even as the seasons turn and the foliage shifts from deep emerald to a brittle, frost-bitten gold, the identity of Riverside remains anchored to this specific, inland geography, indifferent to the frantic pulse of the world beyond its quiet borders.

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.
