Explore Water Mill, 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 Water Mill, 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 Water Mill.
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.

Water Mill maintains a quiet gravity where the flat, fertile earth meets the heavy, salt-laden air of the Atlantic. It lies 2.5 miles northeast of Southampton, NY (from Southampton, NY: bearing 46°T), and is situated 9.6 miles west-southwest of East Hampton. Mill Pond anchors the center of the landscape, its still, dark surface mirroring the shifting gray clouds that drift in from the nearby coast. Beyond the immediate periphery, the land remains defined by the Southampton Town Lands, a vast expanse of preserved terrain that keeps the horizon open and uncluttered. Even from this low elevation, one might imagine the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains, though they remain a phantom of the far interior, far removed from the damp, coastal winds that move through the tall grasses near Calf Creek.
Water Mill carries the weight of a long agricultural legacy, its identity forged in the steady turning of gears and the cultivation of soil that once fed a growing nation. While the modern economy has shifted toward seasonal commerce and the quiet maintenance of private estates, the historic identity of the locality persists in the weathered wood of its namesake structure. The proximity to Mecox Bay influences the local rhythm, drawing the tide of visitors toward the water and ensuring that the pace of life remains tethered to the natural cycles of the season. Far from the density of urban centers, the character of Water Mill is found in the deliberate preservation of its open fields and the persistent, unhurried focus on the land itself.

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.
