How to Use This Roxbury, New York Map

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

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 Roxbury, New York

Roxbury is a locality in Queens County, New York, United States. Roxbury is located at 40.5665°N, 73.8907°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 11697, 12474.

Roxbury emerges from the salt-tinged air as a persistent threshold where the terrestrial edge meets the vast, rhythmic pull of the Atlantic Ocean. It lies 2.7 miles east-southeast of Manhattan Beach Brooklyn, NY (from Manhattan Beach Brooklyn, NY: bearing 108°T), and is situated 6.6 miles south-southeast of Brooklyn. The landscape here is defined by a low-lying, porous geography, where the saline breath of the sea shapes the character of the soil and dictates the movement of the tides against the shore. To the west, the flat expanse is interrupted only by the subtle depression of Riches Meadows, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains serves as a quiet reminder of the rugged interior far beyond this coastal fringe. Water acts as the primary architect, with the meandering path of Gerritsen Creek carving through the marshy terrain toward the horizon, and the still, brackish surface of West Pond reflecting the heavy, humid light that settles over the region at the end of the day.

Roxbury exists as a protected enclave within the sprawling boundaries of Gateway National Recreation Area, a designation that preserves the fragile balance between the encroaching tide and the migratory pathways of local wildlife. The economic pulse of the area has shifted away from older, labor-intensive maritime pursuits, leaving behind a quietude that favors conservation and the slow, deliberate pace of life found near Willets Hassock. History here is written in the shifting sands and the reclamation of the land by the sea, a process that continues to dictate the rhythm of the day for those who dwell in this exposed, wind-swept corridor. While the urban centers of the state hum with a frenetic energy, Roxbury remains tethered to the elemental cycles of the coast, where the grit of the earth and the brine of the water define the boundaries of human presence.
