How to Use This Wurtsboro Hills, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Wurtsboro Hills, 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 Wurtsboro Hills.
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 Wurtsboro Hills, New York
Wurtsboro Hills is a locality in Sullivan County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 867. The population density is 282.5 people per km². Wurtsboro Hills is located at 41.5912°N, 74.5057°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 12790.Wurtsboro Hills rises from the rugged terrain of Sullivan County, where the earth is defined by deep woodlands and the persistent, low-slung presence of Willsey Brook. It lies 10.7 miles northwest of Scotchtown, NY (from Scotchtown, NY: bearing 315°T), and is situated 8.3 miles northwest of Circleville. The topography here is dictated by the slow, uneven climb toward the Appalachian Mountains, which remain a distant, hazy silhouette against the western sky. Within the boundaries of the Town of Mastens Lake, the landscape is punctuated by the quiet, silver surface of Mastens Lake, a body of water that reflects the shifting colors of the canopy throughout the seasons. The air in Wurtsboro Hills carries a specific, sharp clarity, often cooling rapidly as the sun dips behind the higher ridges, leaving the valleys in a long, violet shadow that feels both ancient and immediate.
Wurtsboro Hills holds its history in the quiet persistence of its land use, which transitioned from early resource extraction to the more measured pace of modern rural life. The Town of Mamakating Land serves as a vital expanse of protected territory, preserving the natural character of the woods against the encroaching speed of the downstate corridors. While the local economy is no longer driven by the heavy industry of the past, the influence of the region's formative years remains visible in the way the roads follow the contours of the terrain rather than cutting across them. Travel toward the nearby Katrina Falls reveals the sheer force of water carving through stone, a reminder of the geological persistence that shapes the daily reality of those who live in Wurtsboro Hills.

About This Wurtsboro Hills Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wurtsboro Hills, New York. Coordinates: 41.591205, -74.505715. 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 Wurtsboro Hills includes the ZIP code (12790), telephone area code (845), county seat of Sullivan County (Monticello), and school district assignment (Monticello 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.
