Explore Cedarhurst, 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 Cedarhurst, 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 Cedarhurst.
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.

Cedarhurst occupies a flat, low-lying expanse of the South Shore, where the salt-heavy air suggests the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean only three miles away. The light here often takes on a pale, translucent quality, reflecting off the damp earth and the nearby marshes of Big Hassock. Motts Creek winds its way through the periphery, offering a quiet, rhythmic movement to the landscape that contrasts with the suburban density. While the distant Appalachian Mountains remain far beyond the horizon, the terrain itself remains defined by the subtle, oceanic influence of the coast. Residents often seek the stillness of Sage Pond, a small, contemplative body of water that provides a reprieve from the bustle of daily life. Cedarhurst Park serves as a central green lung for the neighborhood, where the transition between the developed streetscape and the natural world feels most deliberate.
Cedarhurst emerged from the shifting needs of a growing region, evolving from agricultural roots into a hub for commerce and residential life. The local economy thrives on a blend of independent retail, professional services, and small-scale industry that keeps the streets active throughout the week. Merchants have long organized their storefronts to cater to a diverse clientele, creating a commercial core that feels both industrious and personal. The historical development of the village reflects the broader patterns of Long Island, where land once used for farming gradually transformed into a dense, interconnected suburb. Every morning, the movement of commuters and business owners reinforces the status of Cedarhurst as a place built on steady, persistent enterprise. This economic consistency ensures that the shops and offices remain the primary pulse of the local narrative.
Cultural life in Cedarhurst finds its expression in the vibrant interactions of its residents and the shared spaces they frequent. The local character is defined by a deep sense of community that manifests during seasonal festivals and public gatherings held at Cedarhurst Park. Landmarks throughout the area provide a sense of continuity, grounding the lives of those who live here in a recognizable, shared geography. Public life is punctuated by the presence of families and students, contributing to an atmosphere that feels both grounded and perpetually in motion. While the area does not claim to be the birthplace of global celebrities, it has been home to individuals like the legendary entertainer Ethel Merman, whose early life in the region adds a layer of artistic history to the local lore. The everyday rhythm of the sidewalks and the quiet corners near West Meadow offer a unique perspective on the lived experience of this specific corner of the world.

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.
