How to Use This Moriches, New York Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Moriches, 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 Moriches.

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.

About Moriches, New York

Moriches is a locality in Suffolk County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,026. The population density is 563.9 people per km². Moriches is located at 40.8073°N, 72.8212°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 11955.

Moriches reveals itself through the steady, amber-hued passage of Ely Creek, which meanders through the landscape as a quiet artery feeding the low-lying reaches of the terrain. It lies 1.1 miles east-northeast of Mastic, NY (from Mastic, NY: bearing 71°T), and is situated 5.3 miles east-northeast of Brookhaven. The air here holds a distinct salt-laden quality, filtered by the four-mile distance to the Atlantic Ocean, leaving a faint, persistent brine upon the siding of older homes. East Millpond rests as a dark, reflective mirror against the surrounding earth, its surface often ruffled by the coastal breeze that drifts inland. The landscape is defined by this proximity to the water, where the horizon remains flat and expansive, far removed from the distant shadows of the Appalachian Mountains. Within the boundaries of TOWN OF BROOKHAVENC/O DEPT OF FINANCE Land, the scrub and native grasses thrive in the damp soil, creating a rugged perimeter that separates the quiet, inland residential pockets from the shifting dunes of New Made Island visible toward the coast.

Moriches carries the weight of a long-standing maritime heritage, once sustained by the bounty of the water and the seasonal rhythms of the harvest. The economy has shifted from its early reliance on the local catch to a more tempered existence, where the bustle of modern commerce is muffled by the deliberate pace of daily life. Remnants of this history persist in the weathered architecture and the specific ways the locals navigate the changing tides of the season. Far from the industrial intensity of the western reaches of the state, the character of Moriches is defined by the preservation of its modest scale and the quietude of its streets. It remains a place where the light at dusk settles long and heavy over the water, turning the reeds of the creek into silhouettes that mark the end of another day in a region shaped by the slow, inevitable pull of the sea.
