Explore Atlantic, 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, 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.
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 occupies a quiet expanse of inland terrain defined by the steady, unhurried flow of the Watering Race Branch. It lies 6.2 miles north-northwest of McKee City, NJ (from McKee City, NJ: bearing 337°T), and is situated 9.4 miles southeast of Hammonton. The surrounding landscape is characterized by flat, sandy soil and dense thickets that define the character of the Makepeace Lake Wildlife Management Area. Visitors looking toward the horizon might catch a glimpse of the distant Jemima Mount, which rises thirteen miles away to anchor the view. The atmosphere remains still and heavy with the scent of pine, especially as the golden light of dusk settles over the fields. Makepeace Lake rests just three miles away, providing a serene point of focus for the local geography.
Atlantic developed from the industrious nature of the regional settlers who sought to tame the dense scrublands through agriculture and modest trade. The local economy has long relied upon the careful management of the land, with various industries emerging to process the natural resources harvested from the surrounding plains. Small-scale manufacturing and service-oriented businesses now provide the primary livelihood for the residents who maintain the quiet productivity of the region. Work here follows the rhythm of the seasons, as the cycle of planting and harvest dictates the pace of the calendar year. Economic stability in Atlantic stems from this disciplined connection to the soil and the legacy of those who first cleared the brush to build their homesteads.
Cultural life in Atlantic centers on the shared traditions of the people who find contentment in the silence of the woods and the simplicity of rural life. Residents often gather for seasonal events that celebrate the bounty of the land and the endurance of their neighbors. While the area avoids the clamor of larger urban centers, it maintains a distinct identity through the preservation of the Makepeace Lake Wildlife Management Area, which serves as a vital landmark for those who value the outdoors. The character of the people reflects a sturdy, grounded spirit, much like the resilient flora that thrives in the sandy earth nearby. Life in Atlantic moves with a deliberate grace, allowing for long, contemplative afternoons under the expansive sky that covers this protected portion of the state.

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.
