How to Use This Willets Point, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Willets Point, 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 Willets Point.
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 Willets Point, New York
Willets Point is a locality in Queens County, New York, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 18.0 people per km². Willets Point is located at 40.7580°N, 73.8380°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 11354, 11368.Willets Point occupies a low-lying, industrial threshold where the brackish waters of Flushing Bay press against the land, blurred by the constant, rhythmic pulse of Flushing Creek as it carves its path toward the sea. It lies 1.2 miles southwest of Linden Hill Queens, NY (from Linden Hill Queens, NY: bearing 224°T), and is situated 9.3 miles east-northeast of New York. The horizon here is defined by the sharp geometry of scrap metal and the sprawling, green expanse of Flushing Meadows Corona Park, a vast public space that offers a quiet, verdant counterpoint to the grit of the pavement. At dusk, the light catches the oily sheen of the tide and the jagged silhouettes of nearby salvage yards, casting a long, metallic glow that makes the air feel thick with the heavy scent of salt and turning gears. Far to the west, one might imagine the distant, hazy rise of the Appalachian Mountains, though they remain entirely absent from the immediate, flat reality of this coastal edge.
Willets Point has evolved through a century of transformation, its economy built upon the labor of mechanics and the steady, clattering industry of automotive repair shops that have defined its character for generations. While the history of the ground is layered with the detritus of progress, the daily pace is dictated by the turning of wrenches and the transit of vehicles navigating the narrow, uneven streets. The proximity to the water—some three miles from the shores of Tallman Island—adds a maritime melancholy to the neighborhood, where the remnants of past endeavors rest in piles of steel and iron. It is a place of stark utility, where the landscape is constantly being erased and rewritten, yet it retains a singular, stubborn identity that persists even as the city around it reaches toward a different future.

About This Willets Point Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Willets Point, New York. Coordinates: 40.758, -73.838. 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 Willets Point includes the ZIP code (11354, 11368), telephone area code (718, 347), county seat of Queens County, and school district assignment.
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.
