How to Use This Wheatley Heights, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Wheatley Heights, 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 Wheatley Heights.
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 Wheatley Heights, New York
Wheatley Heights is a locality in Suffolk County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 5,140. The population density is 1505.7 people per km². Wheatley Heights is located at 40.7637°N, 73.3698°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 11798.Wheatley Heights anchors a quiet transition between the suburban pulse of the island and the lingering wildness of the woodland floor. The terrain here holds a subtle, patient elevation, where the earth feels less like a flat expanse and more like a gentle, deliberate rise toward the horizon. Dense patches of TOWN OF HUNTINGTON Land offer a sanctuary of deep shade and tangled brush, while the cool, steady currents of Carlls River carve a modest path through the soil just a mile away. On humid summer evenings, the air carries a faint, salt-tinged memory of the tides from Oyster Bay, though the nearest shore remains a world away. Even the surface of Wyandanch Spring Lake, a mile from the center, reflects a sky that seems wider and more expansive than the density of the surrounding architecture would suggest.
Wheatley Heights exists as a place of steady, domestic persistence, where the rhythm of daily life is shaped by the legacy of mid-century expansion and the quiet ambition of those who sought a firm footing in the landscape. While the distant, blue-hued Appalachian Mountains might occupy the dreams of those looking toward the far western interior, the local economy remains tethered to the industrious currents of the region, favoring a flow of commuters and small-scale enterprise. The land bears the marks of careful subdivision, yet the presence of Little Plains, seven miles distant, serves as a reminder of the geological history that once defined these stretches. Whether one looks toward the isolation of Indian Island or the mundane comforts of the local streets, Wheatley Heights maintains a character defined not by grand monuments, but by the quiet, consistent accumulation of lives lived in the shadow of the pines.

About This Wheatley Heights Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wheatley Heights, New York. Coordinates: 40.76371, -73.369843. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Wheatley Heights includes the ZIP code (11798), telephone area code (516), county seat of Suffolk County (Riverhead), and school district assignment (Half Hollow Hills Central 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.
