Explore Stillwater, 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 Stillwater, 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 Stillwater.
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.

Stillwater emerges as a quiet expanse of northern woodland, defined by the persistent, cold currents of the Boreas River that carve through the rugged terrain. It lies 27.6 miles south of North Elba, NY (from North Elba, NY: bearing 191°T), and is situated 16.7 miles north-northwest of Johnsburg. The landscape is dominated by the dense, untamed growth of the Vanderwhacker Mountain Wild Forest, where the air holds a permanent, pine-scented chill that clings to the bark of towering hemlocks. To the west, the jagged silhouette of the Adirondack Mountains rises against the horizon like a serrated blade, while the nearby surface of Grassy Pond remains a dark, reflective glass, undisturbed by the passage of the seasons. Sunlight here filters through the canopy in thin, pale shafts, illuminating the moss-covered stones and the deep, rich loam that defines the floor of this expansive protected wilderness.
Stillwater retains the character of a frontier settlement, its identity forged in the isolation of the deep woods rather than the clamor of industrial expansion. The local economy persists in a slow, deliberate cadence, focused on the stewardship of the timberlands and the quiet maintenance of the trails that wind through the wilderness. History lingers in the silence of the woods, where remnants of early logging camps have long since surrendered to the encroaching undergrowth, leaving behind only the ghost of an era defined by axe and saw. Travelers occasionally venture toward the distant, thundering spray of Ord Falls or seek the solitude of the interior, yet Stillwater prefers to exist in a state of watchful stillness, removed from the frantic pace of the modern world.

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.
