How to Use This West Camp, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for West Camp, 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 West Camp.
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 West Camp, New York
West Camp is a locality in Ulster County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 680. The population density is 55.0 people per km².

ZIP codes: 12477, 12490.West Camp holds a quiet authority over the landscape, where the land rises in modest, disciplined swells toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Catskill Mountains. It lies 3.3 miles north-northeast of Saugerties, NY (from Saugerties, NY: bearing 16°T), and is situated 7.4 miles south-southwest of Catskill. The terrain here is defined by a persistent, earthy gravity, characterized by thickets of hardwoods and long-shadowed fields that hold the fading light of afternoon with a heavy, golden stillness. A mile away, the Sawyer Kill cuts a persistent, winding path through the soil, its presence felt in the humid dampness that clings to the low-lying hollows after a rain. Further inland, the stillness deepens around the waters of Van Luven Lake, where the surface reflects the changing seasons with a mirror-like precision that seems to draw the very sky down into the earth.
West Camp carries the weight of a long memory, its origins rooted in the hard, deliberate work of early settlers who looked to the fertile soil and the movement of the local waters to sustain their survival. The economy here has shifted away from the frantic pace of larger hubs, favoring a slower, more deliberate rhythm where the labor of the day is measured by the steady progress of work on private plots and local acreages. Residents often find themselves passing the quiet boundaries of Bristol Beach State Park, a space that offers a reprieve from the encroaching clamor of modern industry. Beyond the immediate reach of the community, the rugged terrain toward the Kaaterskill Clove and the distant, rushing descent of Glenerie Falls serve as reminders of a wilder geology that predates the fences and roads, grounding the life of the locality in a landscape that demands respect and a quiet, watchful attention.

About This West Camp Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of West Camp, New York. Coordinates: 42.123145, -73.934856. 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 West Camp includes the ZIP code (12477, 12490), telephone area code (845), county seat of Ulster County (Kingston), and school district assignment.
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.
