Explore Jericho, 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 Jericho, 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 Jericho.
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.

Jericho maintains a quiet presence amidst the shifting light of the Long Island landscape, marked by a terrain that feels both established and serene. It lies 1.8 miles north-northwest of Hicksville, NY (from Hicksville, NY: bearing 335°T), and is situated 5.1 miles south of Oyster Bay. The land here is defined by subtle elevations that rise toward a horizon where the distant Appalachian Mountains appear only as a faint, gray shadow. While the air carries a crisp, saline hint of the nearby Oyster Bay, the immediate surroundings remain sheltered by the verdant sprawl of Nassau County Lands. Residents often find stillness near the quiet surface of Old Westbury Pond, where the water reflects the changing seasons with consistent, mirror-like clarity. Further inland, the drainage of East Meadow Brook weaves through the earth, grounding the geography in a slow, persistent movement toward the sea.
Jericho traces its roots back to early colonial settlement, evolving from a quiet agricultural outpost into a center for suburban residential life. The local economy shifted over generations, moving away from the soil to support a professional class that values accessibility to broader regional commerce. Industries here are largely defined by modern service sectors and specialized businesses that thrive in the shadow of major metropolitan influence. The pace of work is steady and disciplined, reflecting a history of careful development and the industrious nature of its inhabitants. Even as the character of the economy has transformed, the sense of an orderly, productive life remains a constant thread throughout Jericho.
Cultural identity in Jericho is shaped by a commitment to excellence in education and a focus on the shared experiences of its residents. The community values its landmarks, which serve as quiet touchstones for a population that balances professional ambition with a grounded, daily rhythm. Notable individuals like the author Madison Smartt Bell have walked these streets, contributing to a quiet tradition of intellectual and creative engagement. Local events often center on the seasonal cycles of the school calendar, reinforcing a spirit of participation that defines the social atmosphere. Whether gathering for public observances or simply navigating the quiet, tree-lined roads, people find that Jericho fosters a sense of place that is both deliberate and enduring.

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.
