How to Use This Inwood, New York Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Inwood, 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 Inwood 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 Inwood.

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 Inwood, New York

Inwood is a locality in New York County, New York, United States. Inwood is located at 40.8657°N, 73.9268°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 11559.0.

Inwood, a verdant northern extremity of Manhattan, unfolds with a distinctively wild grace, a stark contrast to the urban sprawl that defines much of New York City. It lies 2.3 miles south-southwest of Riverdale The Bronx, NY (from Riverdale The Bronx, NY: bearing 197°T), and is situated 6.0 miles north-northeast of Manhattan. Here, the land rises and falls in gentle swells, crowned by the ancient, glacially-carved rock formations of Inwood Hill Park, a sanctuary of old-growth forest where the air, even in the thickest summer heat, carries a cool, damp breath. The park’s marshy edges meet the confluence of the Harlem River and the Spuyten Duyvil Creek, their waters reflecting the sky in shifting patterns of gray and cerulean, a constant, murmuring presence. Along the park’s periphery, the neighborhood’s residential streets, lined with mature trees that cast dappled shadows on the sidewalks, offer a quieter cadence, a sense of contained breathing amidst the city’s ceaseless exhale. The very soil of Inwood whispers of deep history, a place where Native American tribes, the Lenape, once trod, their presence still palpable in the ancient palisades and the echoes of their settlements. Later, Dutch colonists and English landowners shaped its early contours, and the area became a strategic point during the Revolutionary War, its hills overlooking crucial waterways. Inwood’s modern identity is a rich mosaic, a testament to waves of immigrants, particularly Irish, Jewish, and more recently, Dominican and other Latin American communities, who have woven their lives and cultures into its fabric. The local economy, once tied to its proximity to the Hudson River and the industrial docks that once lined its shores, has largely transformed into a residential and commercial hub, supporting a vibrant array of bodegas, bakeries, and family-owned restaurants that serve as the neighborhood’s beating heart. The striking Gothic Revival architecture of the former St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, a landmark visible from afar, stands as a silent sentinel to Inwood's evolving narrative, a place where the city’s relentless forward march softens into a more contemplative stride.
