How to Use This Point Lookout, New York Map

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

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 Point Lookout, New York

Point Lookout is a locality in Nassau County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,527. The population density is 2175.6 people per km². Point Lookout is located at 40.5923°N, 73.5807°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 11569.

Point Lookout occupies a slender, wind-swept stretch of sand where the land yields abruptly to the rhythmic pulse of the Atlantic Ocean. It lies 4.1 miles east of Long Beach, NY (from Long Beach, NY: bearing 86°T), and is situated 8.1 miles south-southeast of Hempstead. Salt-heavy air clings to the shingles of houses, and the horizon remains dominated by the vast, shifting gray of the tides that define the edge of Alder Island. A mile inland, the elevation rises slightly toward the High Meadow, a quiet contrast to the constant motion of the surf that shapes the shoreline. Beyond the immediate coastal reach, the landscape flattens into a low-lying expanse, far removed from the distant, jagged silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains that anchor the horizon of the continent. The light here possesses a singular, piercing clarity, washing over Point Lookout Town Park where the dunes provide a fragile buffer against the winter gales.

Historical tides have long dictated the rhythm of commerce and residence in Point Lookout, shifting from its early roles as a seasonal outpost to a permanent, tight-knit enclave. The local economy remains tethered to the sea, reflecting a heritage of maritime resilience that persists despite the encroachment of modern development. Residents navigate the daily cycle of the tides, often looking toward the nearby waters of Milburn Creek or the more distant Milburn Pond to understand the shifting character of the local hydrology. Life here is defined by an intimate proximity to the elements, where the persistence of the sea serves as a constant measure of time. The architecture, weathered by salt and wind, reflects a pragmatic approach to a landscape that offers both profound beauty and the occasional, sharp reminder of its raw, unyielding power.
