How to Use This Valatie, New York Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Valatie, 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 Valatie.

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.

Valatie maintains a quiet composure where the persistent flow of Kinderhook Creek divides the land, carving a path through the earth that defines the rhythm of the local geography. It lies 7.3 miles south of Schodack, NY (from Schodack, NY: bearing 178°T), and is situated 7.4 miles southeast of Coeymans. The landscape here is defined by an inland stillness, where the air carries the crisp, sharp scent of changing seasons rather than any salt-laden breeze. Only two miles distant, the waters of Kinderhook Lake offer a tranquil counterpoint to the creek’s steady movement, while the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Catskill Mountains provide a permanent, shadowy frame to the western horizon. Within the village itself, the Village of Valatie Land provides an accessible span of green space that invites a slower pace of observation. On autumn evenings, the low-angled sun catches the amber leaves of the hardwoods, casting long, lean shadows that stretch across the fields and emphasize the gentle, persistent character of the terrain.

History within Valatie remains anchored to the industrial ingenuity of its early years, when the power of the water directed the construction of textile mills and shaped the local economy. Though the clatter of machinery has long since faded, the architecture of the village reflects a time when manufacturing drove the growth of the region, leaving behind sturdy brick facades and narrow lanes that speak to a deliberate, methodical development. Residents often traverse the paths near the creek, where the sound of moving water persists as a constant, subtle reminder of the power that first drew settlers to this spot. While the proximity of Beebe Hill State Forest and the geological interest of the distant Upper Schodack Island offer expansive retreats for the curious, the daily life of Valatie is found in the modest, steady commerce of its main thoroughfares. It is a place where the weight of the past is held lightly, balanced by a quiet, modern persistence that values the intersection of land and legacy.

About This Valatie Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Valatie, New York. Coordinates: 42.413417, -73.673175. 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 Valatie includes the ZIP code (12184), telephone area code (518), county seat of Columbia County (Hudson), and school district assignment (Kinderhook Central School District (Ichabod Crane)).

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.
