Explore Atlantic City, New Jersey, 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 Atlantic City, New Jersey. 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 Jersey 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 Atlantic City.
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.

Atlantic City rises from the low, sandy barrier islands that define the edge of the New Jersey coast. It lies 3.3 miles east-northeast of Ventnor, NJ (from Ventnor, NJ: bearing 62°T), and is situated 8.9 miles south-southeast of Galloway. The vast Atlantic Ocean stretches eastward, its rhythmic tides shaping the shifting shoreline and bringing a salt-heavy breeze that defines the local atmosphere. Inland, the flat, marshy terrain gives way to the tidal waters of Clam Creek, which meanders through the landscape just a mile from the center. To the west, the horizon remains dominated by the distant silhouette of Sandy Ridge, while the serenity of Green Bank State Forest waits seventeen miles away. Sunlight often catches the spray of the surf at dusk, casting a long, amber glow over the expansive beaches that stretch out toward the horizon.
Atlantic City evolved from a quiet coastal outpost into a major destination, fundamentally shaped by the ambition to draw visitors to the water’s edge. The local economy has long leaned heavily on tourism and the hospitality industry, creating a complex cycle of seasonal activity that pulses through the neighborhood. Beyond the immediate reach of the boardwalk, the town supports a diverse workforce that maintains the infrastructure of a busy, year-round maritime gateway. While the Atlantic City Reservoir provides essential resources seven miles away, the surrounding environment remains a testament to the persistent influence of the sea. Residents navigate a landscape where the history of commercial development is constantly challenged by the encroaching dunes and the salt air.
Cultural character in Atlantic City is forged in the intersection of high-energy entertainment and the quiet, working-class resilience of those who call the island home. Notable landmarks like the iconic boardwalk serve as the stage for daily life, often playing host to visitors from across the country. Local events capture the spirit of the shore, drawing crowds to the park area known as Boe / Pennsylvania and Arctic, where the community gathers for open-air activity. The region has been home to influential figures such as the novelist Nelson Algren and the celebrated musician Dean Martin, both of whom have connections to the area's vibrant past. Whether looking out toward Mankiller Island or walking the busy streets, one feels the persistent, unpretentious energy of a place that remains deeply engaged with the sea.

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.
