Explore South Huntington, 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 South Huntington, 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 South Huntington.
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.

South Huntington manifests as a quiet expanse where the land holds the soft, lingering memory of glacial retreat. It lies 2.2 miles south-southeast of Huntington Station, NY (from Huntington Station, NY: bearing 162°T), and is situated 7.5 miles east-southeast of Oyster Bay. The terrain unfolds across a suburban topography that balances residential life with the protected greenery found within TOWN OF HUNTINGTON Land. While the horizon remains flat and expansive, the distant Appalachian Mountains loom in the imagination as a far-off, jagged reminder of the continent's greater reach. Residents often look toward the northern edge, where the atmosphere grows heavy with the salt-tinged influence of Huntington Bay. The modest elevation shifts near the Little Plains, creating a subtle, undulating rhythm in the earth that catches the long, golden shadows of a late afternoon sun.
South Huntington carries a history defined by the steady transition from agrarian roots to a modern, service-oriented economy. Local commerce thrives in the bustling corridors where retail and small professional offices anchor the daily industry of the populace. Though life here lacks the clamor of a major manufacturing hub, the local labor force contributes significantly to the broader economic vitality of the region. The proximity to Carlls River provides a gentle, watery boundary that has historically influenced the settlement patterns of those who sought a life away from the dense urban centers. Nearby, the presence of Mill Pond serves as a quiet witness to the generations who have built their lives upon this solid, reliable ground. Education and local governance remain the pillars of the social structure, ensuring that the character of the neighborhood remains stable and focused on the future.
South Huntington fosters a cultural identity that prizes the intersection of suburban comfort and accessible, communal activity. Residents often gather for seasonal events that celebrate the specific, changing colors of the year, from the vibrant green of spring to the muted gray of deep winter. The landscape is punctuated by the presence of Bird Island, which sits at a distance as a quiet sanctuary for the natural world. Among those who have walked these streets and gained broad recognition, the actor Ralph Macchio stands out as a figure who emerged from the local environment to capture the public imagination. Life proceeds with a deliberate, measured pace, defined by the sound of tires on pavement and the rustle of trees within the managed borders of TOWN OF HUNTINGTON Land. The spirit of the place is not found in grand monuments, but in the persistent, quiet interactions of people who value the steady rhythm of their daily routines.

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.
