How to Use This Sleepy Hollow Lake, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Sleepy Hollow Lake, 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 Sleepy Hollow Lake.
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 Sleepy Hollow Lake, New York
Sleepy Hollow Lake is a locality in Greene County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,153. The population density is 232.0 people per km². Sleepy Hollow Lake is located at 42.2998°N, 73.8049°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 12015.Sleepy Hollow Lake occupies a sprawling, man-made basin that gathers the quiet runoff of the surrounding interior landscape, defined by its stillness and the deliberate clearing of woodland. It lies 6.5 miles north-northeast of Catskill, NY (from Catskill, NY: bearing 28°T), and is situated 6.3 miles northwest of Claverack. Murderers Creek winds through the immediate vicinity, its path carving a narrow, persistent vein through the earth that feeds into the broader hydration of the West Flats nearby. On clear afternoons, the distant, jagged silhouette of the Catskill Mountains rises against the western horizon, anchoring the sky with a sense of geologic permanence. The air here carries the scent of damp loam and pine, a persistent reminder of the nearby Beebe Hill State Forest, while the light at dusk flattens across the water, turning the surface into a sheet of hammered pewter.
Sleepy Hollow Lake serves as a private recreational anchor, reflecting a regional economy built upon planned residential development and the seasonal migration of those seeking respite from the density of downstate life. The land, once defined by the agrarian patterns of the Hudson Valley, now supports a lifestyle centered on the stewardship of this artificial reservoir and the preservation of the nearby Vosburgh Swamp Wma. Residents often venture toward Rossman Falls to observe the sudden, rhythmic drop of water over limestone, a testament to the persistent erosion that dictates the topography of this inland territory. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, where the primary labor involves the maintenance of property and the quiet observance of the wild birds that congregate near the water’s edge.

About This Sleepy Hollow Lake Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sleepy Hollow Lake, New York. Coordinates: 42.299828, -73.804885. 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 Sleepy Hollow Lake includes the ZIP code (12015), telephone area code (518), county seat of Greene County (Catskill), and school district assignment (Coxsackie-Athens 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.
