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. 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 Village of the Branch.
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.

Village of the Branch rests in a gentle fold of the lower Hudson Valley, its landscape a subtle interplay of the cultivated and the wild. The land here is not dramatic, but possesses a quiet dignity, characterized by modest hills that wear a mantle of deciduous trees, their greens deepening to a somber, rich hue as summer wanes. A particular quality of light often settles over the Village of the Branch in the late afternoon, softening the edges of weathered barns and the clapboard siding of houses, casting long, languid shadows that stretch across well-tended lawns and the occasional, hardy wildflower pushing through a crack in the sidewalk. The air, especially after a rain, carries the clean, earthy scent of damp soil and decaying leaves, a testament to the persistent, life-giving cycle of the seasons. The history of Village of the Branch is one of gradual growth, rather than explosive development, its economy historically tied to the fertile land that surrounds it. For generations, small family farms cultivated orchards and fields, their produce finding its way to bustling farmers' markets further down the valley. While the agricultural roots remain, a subtle shift has occurred, with many residents now commuting to jobs in larger urban centers, though the pace of life in Village of the Branch retains a distinct, unhurried rhythm. A few well-preserved Victorian homes, their gingerbread trim still sharp against the graying wood, hint at an earlier era when the village was a more self-contained entity, a place where neighbors knew each other by name and the blacksmith’s hammer provided the day’s percussive beat. The local library, a modest brick building that has stood for nearly a century, serves as an unofficial gathering place, its quiet halls echoing with the rustle of pages and the murmur of shared stories, a living repository of the village's collective memory.

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 — ensuring the correct Village of the Branch is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
