Explore Lindenhurst, 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 Lindenhurst, 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 Lindenhurst.
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.

Lindenhurst anchors a landscape where the subtle pulse of the tides dictates the slow turning of the seasons. It lies 1.4 miles east-northeast of Copiague, NY (from Copiague, NY: bearing 75°T), and is situated 9.0 miles west-southwest of Islip. Neguntatogue Creek meanders through the terrain, its quiet waters serving as a persistent reminder of the proximity to the distant, vast Atlantic Ocean. The horizon remains level and open, far removed from the distant shadows of the Appalachian Mountains, creating an expansive sky that glows with a pale, silver light at dusk. Residents often traverse the local SUFFOLK COUNTY Land, which provides a natural refuge amidst the flat, coastal plains. Beyond the immediate shorelines, the nearby Indian Island stands as a solitary feature in the salt-tinged air, while the refreshing waters of Belmont Lake offer a different, inland perspective on the local environment.
Lindenhurst evolved from its early agricultural and maritime roots into a destination that once thrived on the industrious spirit of its inhabitants. The local economy shifted over time, moving away from the traditional harvesting of the land and water toward a diverse array of small businesses and suburban commerce. This transition reflects a broader regional history where the demand for craftsmanship and specialized labor shaped the character of the neighborhood. The rhythm of daily life here is defined by a commitment to steady, practical work that keeps the local economy functioning with quiet efficiency. Even as the decades passed, the connection to the harbor and the surrounding geography remained a constant influence on how the people of Lindenhurst organize their professional lives.
Lindenhurst maintains a cultural identity forged by generations of families who appreciate the balance between quiet residential streets and the nearby coastal atmosphere. Notable landmarks reflect a preference for modest, enduring architecture that stands in contrast to the grander, more ornate estates found elsewhere in the region. The community frequently gathers for local events that celebrate the shared history of the area, reinforcing bonds between neighbors who have known one another for years. While many residents lead private lives, the area has been home to individuals such as the comedian Pat Cooper and the artist Louis Comfort Tiffany, both of whom left their mark on the cultural consciousness. Life in Lindenhurst moves with a deliberate, unassuming pace, favoring the comfort of familiar streets and the cooling breeze that drifts in from the water.

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.
