How to Use This Cold Spring Harbor, New York Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cold Spring Harbor, 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 to zoom in and out.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, 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).

Drag the map to pan to any area of New York or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Cold Spring Harbor and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.

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. 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 Cold Spring Harbor.

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 Cold Spring Harbor, New York

Cold Spring Harbor is a locality in Suffolk County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,220. The population density is 353.4 people per km². Cold Spring Harbor is located at 40.8715°N, 73.4568°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 11724.

Cold Spring Harbor rests on the north shore of Long Island, its namesake inlet a deep cut into the land, reflecting the ever-changing sky in its still, gray waters. It lies 1.6 miles west of Huntington, NY (from Huntington, NY: bearing 278°T), and is situated 4.0 miles east of Oyster Bay. The terrain rises gently from the harbor's edge, a mosaic of dense woodlands and manicured estates, where the air carries the faint, briny scent of the Atlantic and the sweeter perfume of pine needles. Broad lawns spill down towards the water, dotted with ancient oaks and maples whose leaves, in autumn, ignite the landscape with fiery hues. The physical character of Cold Spring Harbor is one of understated elegance, a place where nature's untamed beauty meets human cultivation with a quiet grace, the light at dusk often painting the scene in soft, diffused golds and rose. This tranquil setting belies a history woven with the robust threads of maritime enterprise and scientific endeavor. For generations, Cold Spring Harbor was a hub for whaling and fishing, the sturdy wooden docks and boatyards a testament to its seafaring past. Later, the natural seclusion and pristine waters attracted institutions dedicated to marine biology, most notably the renowned Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, which continues to be a world leader in genetic research, drawing scientists and scholars from across the globe. The local economy, while no longer dominated by the harpoon and sail, retains a connection to the sea through its marinas and a thriving artisanal food scene that favors fresh, local catches. The pace of life in Cold Spring Harbor is deliberate, a gentle ebb and flow that mirrors the tides, inviting contemplation and a deep appreciation for its enduring natural and intellectual heritage.

About This Cold Spring Harbor Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cold Spring Harbor, New York — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 40.871487, -73.456788. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service, with current observations and a 7-day forecast also powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while a Wikipedia summary or an editorially written description provides background on Cold Spring Harbor and Suffolk County.

Detailed location data for Cold Spring Harbor includes the ZIP code (11724), telephone area code (516), county seat of Suffolk County (Riverhead), and school district assignment (Cold Spring Harbor Central School District). These are among the most commonly searched location details for any US city or town.

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 — ensuring the correct Cold Spring Harbor is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
