How to use this map

Navigation: Click and drag to move around the map. You can also move around the map by clicking the navigation buttons in the upper left hand corner. To zoom in and out click the [+] or [‒] buttons or drag the slider up and down the ladder just below the arrow navigation buttons.

Pins denote waterfall locations. The color and markings on the pin indicate the status and some details of the location. Pins represent approximate locations only. In some cases one pin may represent a location with many waterfalls (a glen or park). Click the pin to get a brief description of the location and, if available, a link to the NYFalls.com profile for that location.

Points of interest are plotted over hotels, attractions, historic places, oddities, monuments, and parks. Click them to get more information.
