How to Use This College Point, New York Map

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

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.

College Point occupies a distinct peninsula that reaches toward the tides of Flushing Bay with a quiet, persistent grace. It lies 1.7 miles northwest of Linden Hill Queens, NY (from Linden Hill Queens, NY: bearing 313°T), and is situated 9.8 miles east-northeast of New York. The salt-heavy air shifts across the low-lying terrain, carrying the distant, rhythmic pulse of the East River as it flows toward the open sea. Inland, the landscape flattens into a steady, urban expanse where the horizon remains clear of the distant Appalachian Mountains. Visitors often wander through the greenery of Poppenhusen Park, which anchors the neighborhood and offers a reprieve from the gray pavement. A short journey away, the stillness of Meadow Lake provides a contrast to the energetic currents that define the edge of the shore.

College Point traces its origins to the industrious vision of Conrad Poppenhusen, who saw potential in the shoreline and established a hub for rubber manufacturing. This legacy of labor transformed the local economy, shifting from early agrarian roots into a center for specialized industrial production and maritime trade. Even as the factories of the past have evolved, the spirit of craftsmanship remains embedded in the small businesses that line the streets. Workers once looked toward the nearby Tallman Island as a marker of the local geography, a quiet landmark that witnessed the steady expansion of the regional workforce. Beyond the industrial corridors, the area maintains a resilient character forged by generations of families who built their lives around the rhythms of the waterfront.

College Point preserves a unique cultural identity, marked by a sense of heritage that lingers in the architecture and the communal gatherings. The Poppenhusen Institute stands as a testament to this history, serving as a landmark that connects the present residents to the educational foundations laid in the nineteenth century. Events held throughout the year bring neighbors together, fostering a spirit of kinship that defines the daily pace of life. While the neighborhood is not a haunt for the globally famous, it has seen the formative years of individuals like the legendary entertainer Ed McMahon, whose early presence remains a point of local pride. The atmosphere here is one of constant motion, where the hum of contemporary life blends with the persistent, cooling breeze blowing off the basin of the Sunken Meadow.
