How to Use This Shushan, New York Map

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

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.

Shushan remains a quiet riparian corridor where the Batten Kill carves a persistent, silver path through the lowlands, its current defining the very pulse of the landscape. It lies 14.9 miles east of Gates, NY (from Gates, NY: bearing 90°T), and is situated 7.9 miles east of Greenwich. The earth here holds a heavy, fertile patience, rising gradually from the damp riverbed into the shadowed folds of Murray Hollow. To the east, the horizon is punctuated by the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Adirondack Mountains, a reminder of the vast, rugged wilderness that anchors the northern skyline. Only a mile away, the glassy, stillness of Lake Lauderdale offers a stark contrast to the kinetic energy of the river, while the nearby Lake Lauderdale Park provides a sanctuary of hemlock and pine. The air in Shushan carries a crisp, mineral quality, smelling of damp stone and the deep, dark loam of the surrounding fields, particularly as the light fails and the shadows stretch long across the valley floor.

Shushan grew from the necessity of the water, its early economy bound to the mills that once harnessed the relentless movement of the Batten Kill to turn grain and saw timber. Today, the pace of life reflects the steady, unforced movement of the landscape, where the legacy of agrarian labor persists in the patchwork of fields and the weathered skeletons of old barns. While the residents often look toward the more distant trails like the Healing Springs Nature Trail for recreation, the local character remains rooted in a self-reliant, upstate independence. The architecture of Shushan speaks of a time when craftsmanship was a survival skill, leaving behind sturdy, functional structures that endure against the heavy snows of winter. It is a place where the economy has shifted from the mechanical grind of the industrial age to a quiet, private stewardship of the land, maintaining a deliberate distance from the frantic, high-density sprawl found further south.
