How to Use This Roosevelt, New York Map

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

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 Roosevelt, New York

Roosevelt is a locality in Nassau County, New York, United States. It has a population of 18,066. The population density is 3940.9 people per km². Roosevelt is located at 40.6787°N, 73.5890°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 11575.

Roosevelt emerges from the flat, salt-kissed plains of Long Island as a place where the horizon feels wide and unencumbered. It lies 1.5 miles north-northwest of Freeport, NY (from Freeport, NY: bearing 348°T), and is situated 5.6 miles south-southeast of North Hempstead. The landscape remains defined by the proximity of the Atlantic, with the waters of Randall Bay waiting only three miles to the south to catch the evening light. Life here turns on the quiet presence of Smith Pond, a mile away, and the steady, unseen progress of Milburn Creek as it winds through the local terrain. While the Appalachian Mountains loom over a hundred miles to the west, their distant presence offers only a vague, blue memory against the sky. Residents often find solace in the open stretches of TOWN OF HEMPSTEAD Land, which anchors the local topography and provides a necessary reach of green space.

Roosevelt reflects a complex history of development that has seen its economy shift from modest agrarian roots to a dense, suburban existence. The early settlers found a land shaped by the rhythms of the seasons, eventually trading rural solitude for the steady hum of commerce and regional industry. Today, the local economy draws its strength from the labor and ambition of those who commute toward the wider metropolitan pulse while maintaining their lives within these specific borders. Small shops and local trades support the day-to-day needs of the people, keeping the gears of the neighborhood turning with a reliable, working-class persistence. The memory of Smith Meadow, located four miles away, reminds one that this ground was once part of a much larger, quieter expanse of earth.

Roosevelt maintains a distinct cultural character defined by the resilience and creativity of its residents, who have long nurtured a vibrant sense of identity. Public life centers on the shared experiences of the neighborhood, where local events and community gatherings serve to strengthen the bonds between neighbors. Notable figures such as the poet Walt Whitman and the civil rights activist Roy Wilkins have historical ties to this general region, infusing the local consciousness with a sense of intellectual and social gravity. Fighting Island remains a quiet, peripheral landmark in the coastal distance, visible to those who look toward the water when the air turns clear and sharp. The light at dusk here carries a particular weight, casting long, amber shadows across the pavement as the day finally yields to the cooling influence of the Atlantic.

About This Roosevelt Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Roosevelt, New York. Coordinates: 40.678713, -73.589017. 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 Roosevelt includes the ZIP code (11575), telephone area code (516), county seat of Nassau County (Mineola), and school district assignment (Roosevelt Union Free 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.
