Explore Jamesport, 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 Jamesport, 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 Jamesport.
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.

Jamesport reveals itself through the steady, quiet passage of East Creek as it meanders toward the horizon, carving a path through the low-lying fields that define the local terrain. It lies 4.8 miles east-northeast of Riverhead, NY (from Riverhead, NY: bearing 62°T), and is situated 6.5 miles north-northwest of Hampton Bays. The landscape here possesses a certain modesty, characterized by flat, fertile stretches of earth that catch the amber light of late afternoon, casting long, thin shadows across the dormant acreage. Beyond the immediate fields, the terrain remains unpretentious, distant from the jagged silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains, which remain a faint, impossible memory far to the west. On quieter days, the air carries a crisp, saline weight, a reminder that the expansive waters of Smith Creek lie only seven miles away, dictating the subtle shift in the winds and the cooling dampness that settles over the soil at dusk.
Jamesport maintains a rhythm tethered to the land and the surrounding waters, where the presence of the Town Of Riverhead Land provides a quiet sanctuary for the native flora and fauna. Historically, the economy has been anchored by the productivity of the earth, with local agriculture continuing to shape the identity of the region, much as it did for the early settlers who recognized the value of this productive soil. Proximity to Indian Island, sitting just two miles off the shore, underscores the maritime influence that touches the edges of daily life, even as the center of activity remains focused on the slower, deliberate pace of the mainland. While Cedar Pond rests six miles away, offering a still, reflective surface in the landscape, the true character of Jamesport emerges from the intersection of these quiet natural features and the persistent, industrious nature of those who call this geography home.

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.
