How to Use This Star Lake, New York Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Star 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 Star 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 Star Lake, New York

Star Lake is a locality in St. Lawrence County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 631. The population density is 56.2 people per km². Star Lake is located at 44.1695°N, 75.0389°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 13690.

Star Lake reveals itself as a basin of cool, still water held within the granite-laced folds of the northern landscape. It lies 30.9 miles south-southeast of Canton, NY (from Canton, NY: bearing 167°T), and is situated 2.5 miles southeast of Oswegatchie. The air here carries a sharp, pine-scented clarity, often clinging to the shoreline where the mist rises to meet the dark, evergreen canopy. Near the water, the terrain is defined by the Fine Town Lands, which provide a quiet expanse of public access for those seeking the solitude of the woods. A short distance away, the Post Henderson Trail winds through the undergrowth, its path marked by the slow, rhythmic accumulation of needles and moss that softens the tread of any traveler. The distant, pale silhouette of the Adirondack Mountains anchors the horizon, a reminder of the vast, elevated wilderness that defines the regional geology.

History in Star Lake remains tied to the hard, extractive labor that once drew men to these rugged reaches, leaving behind a legacy of industry that has since yielded to the quietude of the present day. The nearby Little River persists as a steady, silver thread cutting through the earth, while the cascading descent of Browns Falls provides a constant, low-frequency hum that resonates through the surrounding timber. Local life moves in accordance with the seasons, shifting from the deep, muffled silence of winter snows to the brief, vibrant intensity of the warmer months. Though the influence of the distant coastline is felt in the atmospheric pressure and the damp, salt-free breezes that move across the terrain, the identity of Star Lake is forged entirely by its own inland geography and the persistent, unhurried flow of the water that bears its name.

About This Star Lake Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Star Lake, New York. Coordinates: 44.169532, -75.038902. 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 Star Lake includes the ZIP code (13690), telephone area code (315), county seat of St. Lawrence County (Canton), and school district assignment (Clifton-Fine 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.
