Explore Locust Valley, 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 Locust Valley, 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 Locust Valley.
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.

Locust Valley maintains a distinct, quiet composure where the topography shifts from the salt-tinged air of the northern shore toward a landscape of verdant, wooded slopes. It lies 2.1 miles east-northeast of Glen Cove, NY (from Glen Cove, NY: bearing 64°T), and is situated 3.5 miles west-northwest of Oyster Bay. The terrain is defined by its proximity to the tidal influence of Hempstead Harbor, which lies only three miles away, casting a faint, briny humidity over the morning mist. To the west, the gentle, freshwater stillness of West Pond provides a localized sanctuary for migratory birds, while the modest, winding path of Mill Neck Creek flows just a mile from the village center. Though the Appalachian Mountains loom far beyond the horizon, the immediate environment remains one of low-slung, deliberate elevation, where the light at dusk catches the edges of the trees, turning the foliage into a deep, burnished bronze.
Locust Valley evolved from its early agricultural roots into a locale shaped by the grand, sprawling estates that once defined the northern coast of the island. While the economy now favors a blend of boutique commerce and refined residential living, the remnants of that legacy persist in the architecture and the deliberate pace of the village streets. Residents frequent the Parking Field as a central point of activity, a practical anchor for a life that balances professional pursuits with the preservation of local character. East Island remains a visible, quiet presence on the water’s edge, emphasizing a geographic isolation that keeps the daily rhythm steady and private. Despite its proximity to the relentless pace of larger metropolitan hubs, Locust Valley retains a sense of singular focus, where the seasonal change in the air is felt more keenly than the passage of industry.

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.
