How to Use This Rouses Point, New York Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Rouses Point, 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 Rouses Point.

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.

Rouses Point occupies a flat, expansive reach of land where the horizon feels wide enough to accommodate the slow passage of clouds. It lies 20.8 miles north-northeast of Plattsburgh, NY (from Plattsburgh, NY: bearing 12°T), and is situated 4.0 miles east of Champlain. The terrain maintains a quiet, rigorous composure, defined by the proximity of Lake Champlain, which exerts a cooling influence on the air throughout the long, austere winters. In the distance, the faint, jagged silhouette of the Adirondack Mountains marks the western limit of the sky, grounding the landscape in a permanent, distant geography. Within the Village Of Rouses Point Land, the earth holds a stillness that suggests the persistence of the northern plains, where the light at dusk turns a bruised, metallic gray against the open fields.

Rouses Point serves as a traditional gateway, its identity shaped by the steady movement of commerce and the historical weight of its position near the Richelieu River. The local economy remains tethered to the patterns of transit and the infrastructure that manages the flow of regional trade, reflecting a pragmatic, industrious character that has long defined the life of its residents. While the Chazy Boat Basin sits a few miles away as a testament to the area’s relationship with its inland waters, the rhythm of daily life in Rouses Point is marked more by the steady, unadorned diligence of its people than by the seasonal fluctuations of recreation. Here, the architecture and the quietude of the streets speak to a past built on the necessity of connection, maintaining a deliberate, grounded pace that avoids the frantic pulse of more populous regions.

About This Rouses Point Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Rouses Point, New York. Coordinates: 44.993928, -73.364856. 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 Rouses Point includes the ZIP code (12979), telephone area code (845), county seat of Clinton County (Plattsburgh), and school district assignment (Northeastern Clinton 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.
