How to Use This Round Top, New York Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Round Top, 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 Round Top.

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.

About Round Top, New York

Round Top is a locality in Greene County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 920. The population density is 40.6 people per km². Round Top is located at 42.2690°N, 74.0274°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 12473.

Round Top occupies a quiet fold of earth where the persistent, clear pulse of Trout Brook shapes the immediate floor of the landscape. It lies 9.1 miles west-northwest of Catskill, NY (from Catskill, NY: bearing 293°T), and is situated 2.5 miles southwest of Cairo. The terrain here rises in rugged, terrestrial swells, climbing toward the distant, jagged silhouette of the Catskill Mountains that define the far horizon. A mile away, the water of Glen Falls fractures over stone, creating a constant, rhythmic white noise that carries through the cool, thin air of the valley. To the southwest, the Windham-Blackhead Range Wilderness guards the perimeter, its dense timber and rocky outcrops casting long, deepening shadows that stretch across the meadows as the sun dips low. Travelers who venture further into the interior find the stillness of Rockefeller Lake, a dark, reflective expanse five miles distant that mirrors the shifting gray and gold of the afternoon sky.

Round Top maintains a legacy rooted in the mid-century tradition of rural hospitality, where the economy transitioned from early agrarian roots to the seasonal rhythms of mountain lodges and guest houses. This cultural character, shaped by families who settled the slopes of Winter Clove, remains evident in the modest scale of the architecture and the deliberate, unhurried pace of local life. The inhabitants often observe the seasons not by the calendar, but by the changing weight of the atmosphere and the encroaching snows that settle into the crevices of the high ridges. Despite the quietude, the land retains a persistent vitality, with the small-scale commerce of the region mirroring the persistence of the woods themselves. Here, the passage of time is marked by the cycle of the frost and the slow, steady reclamation of the soil by the surrounding forest, leaving the residents to live in a state of quiet alignment with the geography of the high country.

About This Round Top Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Round Top, New York. Coordinates: 42.268976, -74.027356. 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 Round Top includes the ZIP code (12473), telephone area code (845), county seat of Greene County (Catskill), and school district assignment (Cairo-Durham 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.
