Explore Thornwood, 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 Thornwood, 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 Thornwood.
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.

Thornwood reveals itself through the steady, rhythmic pulse of Nanny Hagen Brook as it carves a path through the earth, marking the quiet geography of this Westchester landscape. It lies 2.0 miles north-northeast of Mount Pleasant, NY (from Mount Pleasant, NY: bearing 22°T), and is situated 5.2 miles north-northeast of Greenburgh. The air here holds a crisp, temperate quality, shifting with the seasons as the low light of late afternoon catches the tall grasses at Water District Field. While the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains occasionally haunt the western horizon, the immediate terrain remains defined by the gentle depression of The Flats and the reflective, still surface of Pleasant Lake nearby. Though the salt-tinged breeze of the distant Port Chester Harbor occasionally travels inland, Thornwood retains the character of an interior woodland expanse, where the ground is dense with soil and the shade of mature trees creates a sanctuary of cool, filtered brilliance.
Thornwood maintains a balance between the steady commerce of its main thoroughfares and the enduring echoes of its earlier settlement, where the economy has transitioned from agrarian roots to a contemporary suburban vitality. The rhythm of daily life is measured by the passage of commuters and the deliberate activity of local merchants, all operating within a framework of long-standing residential quietude. Residents often look toward the nearby Great Island as a point of geographical orientation, though the focus remains firmly on the immediate, practical necessities of the district. There is a distinct, unhurried precision to how the day unfolds here, a sense that the inhabitants recognize the value of the land they occupy, moving through the cycles of their lives with an awareness of the brook, the lake, and the particular clarity of the light that illuminates the neighborhood each morning.

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.
