Explore Yonkers, New York, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Yonkers, 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 Yonkers.
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.

Yonkers reveals itself as a place of layered elevation, where the Saw Mill River carves a path through the terrain to shape the movement and life of the landscape. It lies 2.5 miles north-northeast of Riverdale The Bronx, NY (from Riverdale The Bronx, NY: bearing 19°T), and is situated 5.9 miles north-northwest of Bronx. The earth here rises in steady, deliberate ridges that look toward the distant Appalachian Mountains, creating a horizon that feels both grounded and expansive. Residents often traverse the Shore Trail, finding a quiet rhythm as they walk near the water, while the presence of the City Of Yonkers Land provides a preserved stretch of green that anchors the urban sprawl. When the light catches the surface of the Hillview Reservoir, the water appears as a polished mirror, reflecting the gray, shifting clouds of a region that balances the dense, industrious energy of the lower state with the lingering silence of the northern woods.
Dutch settlers first recognized the value of this territory, establishing a foothold that would evolve from early colonial land grants into a bustling center of American innovation. Yonkers began as a site where the power of the water was harnessed, transforming the landscape into a hub of industry that drew ambitious souls from across the globe. The historical architecture still whispers of these early days, with stone foundations and brick facades remaining as quiet markers of the generations who cleared the brush and laid the streets. Over time, the character of the place shifted from a quiet riverside settlement into a sprawling, complex urban environment, yet the original spirit of enterprise remains embedded in the physical layout of the grid.
Commerce in Yonkers flows along a diverse corridor of transit and production, supported by a modern infrastructure that links the daily grind to the wider world. The local economy draws strength from its proximity to major transit arteries, allowing for a steady pulse of trade that keeps the streets alive with movement and purpose. Educational institutions offer specialized training and academic growth, feeding a workforce that is as varied as the neighborhoods themselves. While the industry has evolved from the mills of the past, the core of the local economy continues to rely on the adaptability of its people, who find ways to thrive amidst the complexities of a changing, modern professional landscape.
Cultural life in Yonkers is defined by a deep appreciation for shared spaces, from the bustling festivals that color the calendar to the quiet solitude found near Eastchester Bay. The community honors its heritage through celebrations that bring neighbors together, while the nearby Goose Island and the sheltered basin of The Clove offer natural escapes from the persistent hum of activity. Well-known figures, including the legendary singer Ella Fitzgerald, have walked these same streets, leaving an imprint on the identity of the place that persists long after they are gone. Whether it is the sight of the sun setting over the water or the camaraderie of a local gathering, Yonkers maintains a distinct personality that is forged in the intersection of hard work and the persistent, natural beauty of the land.

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.
