Explore Sleepy Hollow, New York, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Sleepy Hollow, 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.
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.

Sleepy Hollow maintains a distinctive presence where the current of the Pocantico River carves a quiet path through the landscape. It lies 2.1 miles west-southwest of Cheektowaga, NY (from Cheektowaga, NY: bearing 251°T), and is situated 4.3 miles east of Buffalo. The terrain unfolds in a series of gentle elevations that offer a panoramic sense of space, leading the eye toward the distant Appalachian Mountains that define the far horizon. Within the immediate vicinity, the Tarrytown Reservoir provides a calm, reflective surface that anchors the local topography. The natural character of the land remains marked by the Sleepy Hollow valley, a depression that catches the low-slung light of late afternoon in a way that softens the edges of the trees. Every path seems to invite a slow pace, as if the air itself holds the weight of the long, quiet seasons.
Historical currents have long shaped the economic life of Sleepy Hollow, transitioning from early agricultural roots to the industrial legacies that once commanded the riverbanks. The local economy grew significantly through the influence of large-scale manufacturing, which brought a steady pulse of labor and commerce to the region. Today, the professional landscape reflects a more modern, service-oriented vitality, though the infrastructure of the past remains visible in the sturdy architecture of older buildings. Residents often find their daily routines framed by the Tarrytown Post 1939 Lands, a preserved space that serves as a quiet witness to the area's ongoing development. The rhythm of work here balances the demands of contemporary life against a backdrop of enduring, solid craftsmanship.
Cultural identity in Sleepy Hollow finds its most resonant expression in the literary echoes that have long defined its reputation. Visitors often gravitate toward the Old Dutch Church and the surrounding burial ground, sites that possess a gravity and stillness that feel disconnected from the modern world. Washington Irving, whose writings cast a long shadow over the local consciousness, remains the most celebrated figure associated with the identity of the area. Throughout the year, the community hosts events that celebrate this heritage, drawing those who appreciate the intersection of history and the shifting seasons. The atmosphere retains a deliberate, contemplative quality, suggesting that Sleepy Hollow values the preservation of its narrative as much as its future.

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.
