Explore Albertson, 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 Albertson, 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 Albertson.
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.

Albertson occupies a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of suburban geography, where the land holds the memory of colonial roots beneath a canopy of mature hardwoods. It lies 1.7 miles north of Mineola, NY (from Mineola, NY: bearing 356°T), and is situated 8.2 miles east-northeast of Queens. The terrain maintains a steady, unremarkable elevation, providing a firm foundation for the quiet residential streets that define the character of Albertson. Though the air often carries a faint, sharp salinity from the proximity of Hempstead Harbor only two miles to the north, the immediate surroundings remain sheltered by a network of Nassau County Lands that preserve thin corridors of green amidst the pavement. On the distant horizon, the Appalachian Mountains remain a mere abstraction, far removed from the local rhythm of the seasons as they shift through the low, pale light of a Long Island autumn.
Economic life in Albertson follows the steady pulse of the commuter, tied closely to the infrastructure that connects these quiet neighborhoods to the wider metropolitan reach. The area maintains a legacy of agricultural transition, having moved from early colonial farming into the dense, managed residential patterns that characterize the modern local economy. Residents often look toward Paper Mill Pond for a brief respite from the daily routine, finding in its still waters a mirror for the changing sky. While East Meadow Brook flows miles away, the presence of such water tables shapes the local climate, keeping the soil damp and the gardens lush throughout the humid summer months. The character of the place is found in these intersections, where the history of land development meets the modern necessity of a life lived between the harbor and the interior.

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.
