How to Use This Rock Tavern, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Rock Tavern, 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 Rock Tavern.
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.

ZIP codes: 12575, 10591.Rock Tavern emerges from the landscape as a quiet intersection of open fields and woodland edges, where the horizon is defined by the subtle, distant rise of the Appalachian Mountains. It lies 3.9 miles north of Blooming Grove, NY (from Blooming Grove, NY: bearing 3°T), and is situated 8.7 miles north of Kiryas Joel. The air here holds the crisp, earthy scent of the soil, shifting with the seasons as the light stretches long and thin across the meadows. Moisture gathers in the low-lying basins, feeding the steady, winding passage of Otter Kill, which flows with a deliberate, hushed persistence through the terrain. A mile away, the surface of Browns Pond remains a dark, reflective mirror, undisturbed by the rush of modern transit, while the expansive, managed greenery of Stewart State Forest provides a sprawling backdrop that anchors the geography of Rock Tavern in a persistent, natural stillness.
History in Rock Tavern is felt in the weight of the old stone foundations and the enduring layout of roads that once served as vital conduits for inland travel. The local economy has long evolved from its agrarian roots, transitioning into a landscape where small-scale enterprise and residential life exist side-by-side, far removed from the frantic pace of the state’s urban centers. While the proximity to Blaggs Clove and the reach of the distant Appalachian Mountains provide a sense of expansive scale, the daily rhythm remains focused on the immediate, quiet tasks of the day. Residents move with an awareness of the changing canopy of the nearby Black Rock Forest, finding a particular beauty in how the autumn colors bleed into the gray, slate-toned sky, marking time not by the clock, but by the slow, inevitable turn of the woodland cycle.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Rock Tavern, New York. Coordinates: 41.466205, -74.191259. 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 Rock Tavern includes the ZIP code (12575, 10591), telephone area code (845, 914), county seat of Orange County (Goshen), 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.
