How to Use This Walker Valley, New York Map

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

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 Walker Valley, New York

Walker Valley is a locality in Ulster County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,269. The population density is 151.3 people per km². Walker Valley is located at 41.6424°N, 74.3709°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 12566, 12588.

Walker Valley holds the persistent, quiet spirit of an inland landscape defined by the steady presence of Stony Brook, which carves its path through the terrain as the primary artery of the region. It lies 8.7 miles south of Wawarsing, NY (from Wawarsing, NY: bearing 187°T), and is situated 5.8 miles south of Ellenville. The earth here feels anchored and ancient, marked by the proximity of the Shawangunk Ridge State Forest, where dense woodlands offer a stark contrast to the open fields of the valley floor. To the west, the distant, imposing silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains provides a permanent, shadowed horizon, while the local topography remains punctuated by the stillness of Murrays Pond. When the late afternoon light hits the basin, the air takes on a crisp, heavy clarity, turning the surrounding foliage into a patchwork of muted greens and deep, earthen browns that seem to swallow the noise of the modern world.

Walker Valley developed its character through the slow, deliberate work of those who cultivated the land and navigated the inland trade routes that once connected these agrarian pockets to the broader state economy. Economic life remains grounded in the rhythms of local enterprise and the stewardship of the land, far removed from the frantic pace of the dense urban corridors. Residents often look toward the natural landmarks that define their geography, such as the distant Nevele Falls or the paths near the Comfort Trail, to find a sense of continuity. Whether one is passing through or living by the banks of the creek, there is an enduring, unvarnished quality to the way the day unfolds, reflecting a history built on patience and the persistent, quiet labor of a community that has stayed true to its inland roots.

About This Walker Valley Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Walker Valley, New York. Coordinates: 41.642408, -74.370932. 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 Walker Valley includes the ZIP code (12566, 12588), telephone area code (845), county seat of Ulster County (Kingston), and school district assignment (Pine Bush 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.
