How to Use This West Kill, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for West Kill, 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 Kill.
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.

ZIP code: 12492.West Kill emerges from the deep, verdant folds of the landscape where the eponymous West Kill carves its path through the bedrock. It lies 10.1 miles west-northwest of Edgewood, NY (from Edgewood, NY: bearing 298°T), and is situated 6.1 miles north of Shandaken. The air here holds a distinct, crisp weight, carrying the scent of damp moss and hemlock from the surrounding Rusk Mountain Wild Forest. To the north, the terrain rises into the rugged silhouettes of the Catskill Mountains, their ridgelines often softened by a veil of shifting mist or the sharp, clear light of an inland afternoon. Condon Hollow creates a quiet, shadowed corridor just a mile away, where the topography tightens and the shadows stretch long across the valley floor, lending a sense of enclosure that feels both ancient and remarkably still.
West Kill retains the quiet pulse of a place shaped by its isolation and the slow, deliberate work of the seasons. Historically defined by the labor of the woods and the tannery trade, the local economy now breathes through a blend of small-scale agriculture and those drawn to the solitude of the interior. Life here follows the rhythm of the rising sun against the peaks, a pace rarely interrupted by the clamor of the outside world. While the Schoharie Reservoir remains a distant, shimmering presence to the northeast, the immediate focus of the locality remains the persistent movement of the water and the quiet stewardship of the land, leaving the traveler with the impression that West Kill exists primarily for its own peace.

About This West Kill Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of West Kill, New York. Coordinates: 42.208421, -74.386537. 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 Kill includes the ZIP code (12492), telephone area code (845), county seat of Greene County (Catskill), and school district assignment (Hunter-Tannersville 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.
