How to Use This Slate Hill, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Slate Hill, 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 Slate Hill.
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 Slate Hill, New York
Slate Hill is a locality in Orange County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,800. The population density is 120.0 people per km². Slate Hill is located at 41.3909°N, 74.4765°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 10973.Slate Hill emerges from the quiet intersection of low-slung ridges and verdant pastures that define this corner of the state. It lies 4.7 miles southwest of Middletown, NY (from Middletown, NY: bearing 216°T), and is situated 7.9 miles west of Goshen. The Joe Creek winds through the immediate landscape, its waters carving a subtle, rhythmic path through the earth that dictates the local drainage and defines the damp, fertile character of the soil. Beyond the immediate fields, the horizon holds the faint, jagged silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains, visible only when the atmosphere clears after a rain. Shannen Park provides an open expanse of greenery for the public, while the nearby Ridgebury Lake reflects the shifting sky, its surface often mirroring the muted, slate-gray light that seems to linger over the valley floor during the late afternoon.
Slate Hill retains the deliberate, measured pace of an agricultural settlement that has matured into a quiet residential enclave. The economy here has long favored the stewardship of the land, though the modern rhythm has shifted toward a blend of local commerce and the steady commute of those who value the distance from larger urban centers. History remains etched into the older frame dwellings and the layout of the roads, which follow the natural contours of the terrain rather than the rigid geometry of newer developments. Life in Slate Hill is marked by the cycle of the seasons, from the heavy, humid growth of summer to the stark, quiet dormancy of winter, leaving the inhabitants to find a refined contentment in the simplicity of their surroundings.

About This Slate Hill Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Slate Hill, New York. Coordinates: 41.390927, -74.476547. 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 Slate Hill includes the ZIP code (10973), telephone area code (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.
