How to Use This Lake Success, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lake Success, 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 Lake Success.
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.

ZIP codes: 11020, 11042.Lake Success holds the quiet stillness of a kettle pond deep within its glacial embrace, where the land rises and falls in long, muscular swells of earth. It lies 2.1 miles south-southeast of Great Neck, NY (from Great Neck, NY: bearing 165°T), and is situated 4.4 miles east-northeast of Queens. The air here carries a salt-touched memory of the tides, lingering just two miles from the open reach of Little Neck Bay, while the local topography maintains a disciplined, verdant composure. Within the borders of Lake Success, Village Park offers a sanctuary of curated green space, providing a sharp, clean contrast to the dense, wooded margins that define the perimeter. Though the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains remain far beyond the horizon, the immediate ground feels grounded and ancient, holding the moisture of the low-lying terrain as if the soil itself were remembering the slow retreat of the ice.
Commerce and residence have long favored the measured pace of Lake Success, where the legacy of expansive estates has softened into a landscape of quiet professional life. While the rhythmic flow of Alley Creek moves toward the bay, the local economy leans into the steady pulse of a suburban enclave that has kept its distance from the frantic pace of the city centers. History lingers in the architecture of the older grounds, where the land was once shaped by the hands of those who recognized the value of a high, well-drained ridge. Even as the modern world presses against its edges, the character of the place remains fixed in a deliberate, measured stillness, a quietude that seems to rise from the very sediment of the earth itself.

About This Lake Success Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lake Success, New York. Coordinates: 40.770657, -73.717631. 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 Lake Success includes the ZIP code (11020, 11042), telephone area code (718, 347, 929), county seat of Nassau County (Mineola), and school district assignment (Great Neck 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.
