Explore Roslyn, 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 Roslyn, 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 Roslyn.
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.

Roslyn emerges from the uneven topography of the North Shore, where the land tilts toward the tide with a deliberate, quiet grace. It lies 3.0 miles southeast of Port Washington, NY (from Port Washington, NY: bearing 126°T), and is situated 8.4 miles east-northeast of Queens. The air here holds the salt-heavy weight of Hempstead Harbor, a presence that tempers the afternoon heat and catches the fading light in long, shimmering ribbons across the surface of Roslyn Pond. From the higher elevations of the local terrain, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains occasionally haunts the western horizon, though the immediate world remains defined by the intimate, sheltered verdancy of the TOWN OF NORTH HEMPSTEAD Land. The landscape is a study in verticality and water, where the moisture of the harbor seems to seep into the very stone of the foundations, lending a cool, damp permanence to the earth.
Roslyn retains the architectural echoes of a nineteenth-century milling hub, its past defined by the turning of wheels and the steady, industrious work of early commerce. While the economic character has shifted from the grinding of grain to the quiet affluence of a residential enclave, the remnants of that original purpose remain etched into the streetscapes and the enduring preservation of historic structures. Life in Roslyn moves with a rhythmic, measured cadence, far removed from the frantic pace of the metropolis, yet always anchored by the proximity to the coast. Even as the modern day unfolds, the legacy of the region persists, felt in the way the morning mist clings to the low-lying sectors and the enduring silence that settles over the greenery once the sun has dipped below the harbor line.

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.
