How to Use This North Merrick, New York Map

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

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.

North Merrick reveals its character through the steady, quiet passage of East Meadow Brook as it winds past residential lanes and manicured gardens. It lies 1.6 miles west of North Bellmore, NY (from North Bellmore, NY: bearing 269°T), and is situated 5.7 miles southeast of North Hempstead. The landscape remains defined by the presence of Mullener Pond, a small, tranquil body of water that mirrors the changing color of the sky throughout the seasons. While the Appalachian Mountains loom over one hundred miles away on the horizon, the terrain here stays low and level, shaped by the proximity of the coast. Residents often catch the scent of salt air drifting inland from Randall Bay, which lies four miles to the south. North Merrick maintains a grounded, suburban stillness, punctuated by the rhythmic rustle of leaves in the TOWN OF HEMPSTEAD Land that serves as a verdant buffer against the rush of the outside world.

North Merrick emerged from its rural origins as a settlement that slowly transitioned alongside the development of the surrounding region. The local economy relies less on heavy industry and more on the professional contributions of those who commute to the metropolitan centers of the state. Commerce is centered in small, accessible hubs that support the daily needs of families and long-term residents. History here is marked by the gradual transformation of farmland into the tight-knit neighborhoods that define the current layout of the streets. While the proximity to major transit routes encourages movement, the internal rhythm of the area remains anchored in the stability of its schools and local businesses.

North Merrick fosters a culture of quiet engagement, where the local schools and the expansive grounds of the TOWN OF HEMPSTEAD Land provide a common ground for social life. The atmosphere is one of deliberate calm, where the quality of light during a late autumn afternoon casts long, thin shadows across the sidewalks. Famous individuals who once walked these paths include the musician Joan Jett, whose early life reflects the spirited, independent nature often found in those raised in this region. Landmarks are subtle, often consisting of established local institutions that have anchored the neighborhood for generations. Community life pulses through seasonal gatherings, where the focus remains on the preservation of a comfortable, unpretentious way of living.

About This North Merrick Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of North Merrick, New York. Coordinates: 40.691212, -73.563183. 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 North Merrick includes the ZIP code (11566), telephone area code (516), county seat of Nassau County (Mineola), and school district assignment (Bellmore-Merrick Central High 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.
