Explore South Fallsburg, 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 South Fallsburg, 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 South Fallsburg.
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.

South Fallsburg anchors itself firmly within the verdant, inland landscape where the Sheldrake Stream carves a steady path through the earth. It lies 14.5 miles west of Wawarsing, NY (from Wawarsing, NY: bearing 260°T), and is situated 5.3 miles north-northeast of Monticello. The air here holds a crisp, mountainous clarity, sustained by the proximity of the Appalachian Mountains, which loom as a distant, hazy silhouette against the western sky. Within the immediate vicinity, the terrain shifts into a series of quiet inclines and wooded stretches, punctuated by the serene, reflective surface of East Pond. A short distance away, the South Fallsburg Water Land offers a sanctuary of uncultivated green, providing a buffer of quietude that defines the local atmosphere. When the light dips low in the afternoon, it catches the mineral flecks in the soil and the silver movement of the stream, imbuing the woods with a brief, amber intensity that makes the transition toward dusk feel deliberate and heavy with peace.
South Fallsburg carries the weight of a long history as a center for seasonal gathering, having evolved from its early industrial roots into a destination defined by its distinct regional character. The economy has shifted over the decades, moving away from the heavy reliance on hospitality that once drew crowds from the downstate corridor, yet the rhythm of the place remains tethered to the changing seasons and the slow, persistent labor of local maintenance. While the echoes of past prosperity are still visible in the architecture of the older streets, the modern identity of South Fallsburg is more modest, shaped by those who navigate the daily requirements of life in a landscape that demands self-reliance. Though the roar of Verkeerderkill Falls remains a distant, inaccessible power, the community finds its own steady pulse in the quiet commerce and the enduring, deep-rooted connections of its residents.

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.
