Explore Old Field, 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 Old Field, 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 Old Field.
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.

Old Field presents a low, maritime horizon where the land yields to the restless push of Conscience Bay. It lies 1.8 miles northwest of East Setauket, NY (from East Setauket, NY: bearing 316°T), and is situated 8.1 miles north-northeast of Smithtown. The shoreline defines the physical character of Old Field, marked by the salt-crusted edges of the Flax Pond State Tidal Wetland, where tidal rhythms govern the shifting mudflats and the growth of cordgrass. A mile to the west, the slow, brackish currents of West Meadow Creek drain into the sound, carving channels through the coastal landscape. While the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains remains a faint memory on the horizon, the immediate terrain here stays flat and exposed to the salt air, creating a climate where the light seems to sharpen against the water, turning the evening sky a bruised, metallic violet before the dark settles over the marshes.
History clings to the wood-shingled architecture and the quiet, winding lanes that reflect the agricultural origins of Old Field, long before the area transitioned into a residential enclave of singular privacy. The economy of Old Field is rooted in the preservation of its natural perimeter, as the land serves less as a site for industry and more as a protected buffer for the fragile ecology of the shoreline. Residents look toward the waters of Conscience Bay and the sanctuary of the nearby Flax Pond State Tidal Wetland, where the stillness of the environment dictates a pace far removed from the urban density found elsewhere in the state. Distant landmarks like Crystal Brook Hollow or the far-flung Youngs Island serve as subtle markers of a wider geography, yet life remains centered on the stewardship of the immediate coast and the preservation of the open, windswept character that has defined this stretch of the shore for generations.

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.
