Explore East Setauket, 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 East Setauket, 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 East Setauket.
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.

East Setauket remains a place where the salt air from Port Jefferson Harbor carries the quiet weight of centuries across the landscape. It lies 2.1 miles east-northeast of Stony Brook, NY (from Stony Brook, NY: bearing 59°T), and is situated 7.7 miles northeast of Smithtown. The terrain unfolds in a series of gentle shifts, leading from the shoreline toward the inland reaches where Setauket Millpond mirrors the changing sky. Residents often walk the paths near TOWN OF BROOKHAVENC/O DEPT OF FINANCE Land, observing how the light deepens against the foliage as dusk settles over the ground. Far to the west, the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains serves as a silent reminder of the vast reach of the continent. Travelers might catch glimpses of Youngs Island rising from the water, a fragment of land that defines the coastal edge of East Setauket.
Colonial roots run deep in the soil here, grounding the modern economy in a legacy of maritime trade and early agricultural industry. East Setauket evolved from a quiet outpost into a center where professional services and local businesses now thrive alongside the memory of traditional shipyards. The proximity to the water once dictated the pace of commerce, though today the professional landscape reflects a blend of academic influence and small-scale enterprise. While the roar of industry has softened, the necessity of the harbor keeps the maritime spirit alive in the daily rhythms of the workers. Many find that the local economy mirrors the tides, predictable in its motion yet always capable of subtle, shifting change.
A distinct intellectual character marks the atmosphere, shaped by a long history of scholars and figures who have called these quiet lanes their home. William Sidney Mount, the celebrated painter of American life, captured the essential spirit of the region with a brush that honored the dignity of the common man. Cultural landmarks remain preserved in the architecture of the older houses, where the craftsmanship of previous generations stands against the wind. Local events often center on the preservation of these traditions, bringing neighbors together to celebrate the shared identity of the inhabitants. Whether strolling past the historic sites or enjoying the stillness of Crystal Brook Hollow, one senses the enduring pride of those who dwell in East Setauket.

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.
