How to Use This Shinnecock Hills, New York Map

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

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 Shinnecock Hills, New York

Shinnecock Hills is a locality in Suffolk County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,282. The population density is 312.3 people per km². Shinnecock Hills is located at 40.8909°N, 72.4637°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 11968.

Shinnecock Hills reveals itself as a landscape of dramatic, glacially-sculpted knolls that rise abruptly from the coastal plain, their sandy, erratic soil supporting a tapestry of salt-stunted scrub oak and coarse dune grasses. It lies 3.2 miles east-northeast of Hampton Bays, NY (from Hampton Bays, NY: bearing 62°T), and is situated 3.9 miles west of Southampton. The air here holds a distinct, bracing salinity, carried by the prevailing winds from the open coastline only one mile away, where the tides exert a rhythmic influence on the nearby reaches of Middle Pond. To the northwest, the horizon is flattened by the vast expanse of the Atlantic, yet the topography remains rugged and uneven, a stark contrast to the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains that anchor the continental interior far beyond the coastal flatlands. Within the quiet boundaries of the Southampton Town Lands, the land feels ancient and indifferent, its pale, sandy paths winding through a terrain that seems to shiver under the shifting, silvery light of the late afternoon.

Shinnecock Hills maintains a character defined by its deep, enduring connection to the indigenous people who have stewarded this territory for millennia, a legacy that remains the bedrock of its cultural identity. While the local economy has evolved through cycles of maritime trade and the subsequent influx of seasonal residents, the presence of Sebonac Creek serves as a reminder of the historical importance of the sheltered waterways that once sustained early settlement and commerce. Economic activity is now punctuated by the presence of renowned golf courses that utilize the natural, links-style contours of the terrain, drawing visitors who appreciate the challenging, wind-swept topography. Further inland, the serene presence of Big Fresh Pond and the distant, sheltered geography of Ram Island offer a sense of scale to the peninsula, while the proximity to Henrys Hollow provides a rare, low-lying relief in a region otherwise dominated by the elevation of the ridges. Life in Shinnecock Hills moves with the tides and the seasons, a quiet endurance that persists even as the modern world presses against its borders.

Detailed location data for Shinnecock Hills includes the ZIP code (11968), telephone area code (914, 845), county seat of Suffolk County (Riverhead), and school district assignment (Tuckahoe Common 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.
