Explore Lawrence, 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 Lawrence, 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 Lawrence.
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.

Lawrence occupies a flat, low-lying expanse of land that feels the persistent, rhythmic breath of the nearby Atlantic Ocean. It lies 1.0 miles east-southeast of Inwood, NY (from Inwood, NY: bearing 116°T), and is situated 9.9 miles south-southeast of Queens. Expansive horizons define the local perspective, where the sky seems to stretch wider than the earth itself across the INC VILLAGE OF LAWRENCE Land. The proximity to Big Hassock provides a sense of maritime scale, while the quiet waters of Sage Pond reflect the changing moods of the afternoon sun. Bannister Creek winds its way through the landscape, acting as a subtle artery that drains the surrounding soil toward the distant coast. Far off on the horizon, one might imagine the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains, though they remain a mere memory in this coastal terrain.
Lawrence traces its development to the steady expansion of suburban growth that transformed these once-quiet fields into an established residential enclave. Local commerce flourishes within the village center, where businesses serve the daily needs of residents who value both accessibility and a measured pace of life. Industry here is defined by professional services and small-scale trade rather than heavy manufacturing, reflecting an economy built upon stability and suburban infrastructure. The legacy of the region is written in the architecture of its homes and the careful maintenance of public spaces, which prioritize a sense of order. Development has followed the natural contours of the land, respecting the West Meadow as a reminder of the area's geological past. Economic vitality remains tied to the broader regional market, ensuring that Lawrence maintains its role as a quiet, productive neighbor in a dense landscape.
Lawrence fosters a character marked by a refined sense of community and a deep appreciation for the quiet moments of the day. The local culture is reflected in the well-tended beauty of the INC VILLAGE OF LAWRENCE Land, where residents gather to enjoy the crisp air that carries a faint, salt-tinged breeze. Among the notable figures associated with the broader heritage of the region, the legendary fashion designer Ralph Lauren once resided here, leaving an indelible mark on the area’s aesthetic identity. Community events occur with a steady, predictable grace, highlighting the traditions that define the social fabric of the neighborhood. Landmarks remain understated, preferring the quiet dignity of historic homes and leafy streets over grand, imposing monuments. Life in Lawrence continues with a rhythmic consistency, where the quality of light at dusk softens the edges of the built environment into something altogether serene.

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.
