How to Use This Hewlett, New York Map

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

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.

Hewlett occupies a landscape where the salt-heavy air of the Atlantic Ocean, situated four miles away, softens the edges of every afternoon. It lies 1.2 miles northeast of Woodmere, NY (from Woodmere, NY: bearing 49°T), and is situated 9.1 miles southeast of Queens. The terrain remains largely level, punctuated by the quiet, reflective surface of Willow Pond which sits at the center of the local geography. A short distance away, the winding path of Motts Creek drains the low-lying moisture toward the coast. To the west, the marshy expanse of Hawlett Hassock breaks the horizon, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains remains a faint memory far to the west. Residents often walk through the preserved acreage of COUNTY OF NASSAU Land, where the light at dusk turns the tall grasses into a pale, flickering gold.

Hewlett traces its roots to the early colonial patterns of land division that defined much of the southern shore of the island. The local economy grew from these agricultural foundations into a robust suburban environment that supports a variety of professional services and retail hubs. While the surrounding region shifted toward dense commerce, Hewlett retained a specific focus on private enterprise and small-scale industry. The proximity to the North Meadow allowed for early development that favored residential stability over industrial sprawl. Today, the rhythm of the local economy mirrors the steady, industrious pace of those who commute toward the financial centers of the wider metropolitan region. The infrastructure reflects a long history of careful maintenance, ensuring the streets remain conduits for both quiet transit and local trade.

Hewlett possesses a cultural identity shaped by generations of families who value the intersection of suburban comfort and proximity to the sea. The architecture ranges from historic, sturdy dwellings to mid-century designs, creating a visual record of the neighborhood’s steady evolution. Notable figures such as the legendary film director Martin Scorsese once called the area home, adding a layer of creative history to the local narrative. Public gatherings and seasonal events often take place within the boundaries of COUNTY OF NASSAU Land, where the community congregates beneath the sprawling oak trees. Life here moves with a deliberate, measured cadence that feels removed from the frantic energy of the nearby metropolis. Despite the passage of time, the essential character of Hewlett remains anchored in the quiet, enduring traditions of its people.

About This Hewlett Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hewlett, New York. Coordinates: 40.643159, -73.695686. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Hewlett includes the ZIP code (11557, 11563), telephone area code (516), county seat of Nassau County (Mineola), and school district assignment (Hewlett-Woodmere Union Free School District).

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.
