How to Use This Avalon, New Jersey Map

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

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.

Avalon occupies a slender barrier island, a stretch of sand and salt-grass where the horizon dissolves into the rhythmic surge of the Atlantic Ocean. It lies 5.5 miles east of Middle, NJ (from Middle, NJ: bearing 80°T), and is situated 7.5 miles south of Upper. The air here holds a heavy, briny weight, cooling the skin even as the afternoon sun bleaches the dunes to a pale, bone-white hue. Beyond the immediate reach of the surf, the land tapers toward the quiet, brackish veins of Long Reach, while the distant, dark silhouette of Cabin Ridge remains a mere suggestion against the hazy western sky. Travelers often find themselves drawn to the Fishing Pier, a structure that leans into the tide as if listening to the deep, percussive pulse of the water, providing a singular vantage point where the land finally yields to the open sea.

Avalon has long maintained a character defined by the cyclical migration of seasonal visitors, a pattern that shapes the quiet, deliberate pace of its local economy. While the bustle of commerce ebbs and flows with the calendar, the surrounding landscape remains anchored by the influence of Belleplain State Forest and the low, marshy expanse of Poor House Flat, which serve as silent, wild sentinels against the encroaching suburban sprawl. The history of the area is written in the shifting sands and the steady, patient work of those who navigate the waters near Upper Island, where the sea spray carries the scent of ancient, undisturbed salt marsh. Life in Avalon moves in harmony with these natural boundaries, a place where the stillness of a late-summer evening feels as enduring as the tides themselves.
