How to Use This Zena, New York Map

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

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 Zena, New York

Zena is a locality in Ulster County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,038. The population density is 131.1 people per km². Zena is located at 42.0234°N, 74.0853°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 12401.

Zena emerges as a quiet confluence of woodland and water, where the persistent Saw Kill cuts a path through the landscape toward the nearby Kingston Reservoir Number One. It lies 7.4 miles north-northwest of Kingston, NY (from Kingston, NY: bearing 327°T), and is situated 7.6 miles west-southwest of Saugerties. The air here holds a distinct, cool clarity, carrying the scent of damp earth and pine that rises from the dense thickets of the Thorn Preserve- Catskill Center. To the west, the distant Catskill Mountains silhouette the horizon, their jagged crests grounding the view while Lewis Hollow remains a secluded depression in the nearby terrain. The light in Zena often softens in the late afternoon, casting long, amber shadows across the uneven ground and turning the surface of the local waters into a sheet of polished slate.

History clings to the wood-framed structures of Zena, where the early reliance on timber and small-scale milling has long since yielded to a present defined by rural preservation and modest, private industry. The pace of life is dictated by the slow shift of seasons, leaving the modern resident to navigate a landscape that feels largely untouched by the frantic pulse of larger centers. While Glenerie Falls remains a powerful, hidden feature a few miles away, the immediate surroundings of Zena favor a more subdued aesthetic, emphasizing the quiet intersection of forest floor and stone. The economy remains tethered to the land and the maintenance of its natural character, ensuring that the primary landmarks are those carved by the water and protected by local stewardship rather than those built by human ambition.

About This Zena Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Zena, New York. Coordinates: 42.023421, -74.085344. 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 Zena includes the ZIP code (12401), telephone area code (845), county seat of Ulster County (Kingston), and school district assignment (Kingston City 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.
