How to Use This Bayonne, New Jersey Map

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

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.

Bayonne occupies a slender, industrious peninsula that stretches southward into the salt-tinged air of the harbor, defined by its intimate proximity to the water. It lies 4.5 miles south-southwest of Jersey City, NJ (from Jersey City, NJ: bearing 205°T), and is situated 6.5 miles west-southwest of New York. The landscape is shaped by the relentless, rhythmic pulse of the Kill Van Kull, which flows just one mile away, serving as a vital maritime artery that connects the local shoreline to the broader reaches of the Atlantic. While the terrain remains largely flat and urbanized, the distant silhouette of Todt Hill rises five miles away as a gentle reminder of the topographical variety found in the region. Residents often gather at the 28th Street Playground, a local space that anchors the neighborhood, while the quiet waters of Stump Pond rest six miles inland, offering a stark, still contrast to the busy, tidal currents of the shipping lanes.

Settlement in Bayonne began with the enduring influence of Dutch colonial farmers who recognized the strategic utility of this narrow strip of land extending toward the sea. Over the generations, the arrival of diverse immigrant populations transformed the character of the community, turning it into a dense, working-class enclave that flourished alongside the expansion of the maritime trade. The history of the place is etched into its very street patterns and the industrial remnants that line the waterfront, reflecting a legacy of labor and resilience. Even as the decades have passed, the echoes of those early settlers persist in the grid of the streets, where the salt air seems to carry the weight of a long, industrious past.

Bayonne maintains a robust economic identity rooted in its history as a major hub for logistics, shipping, and energy infrastructure, which continues to drive the local labor market today. The proximity to the Morris Canal Basin, located five miles away, serves as a historical nod to the sophisticated transport networks that once defined the regional commerce. While there are no major universities within the immediate borders, the infrastructure supports a steady, professional workforce that commutes easily to the surrounding metropolitan centers. The local economy remains anchored by its maritime facilities and the steady flow of goods passing through the channel, ensuring that Bayonne functions as a vital, functional link in the regional supply chain.

Cultural life in Bayonne is defined by a deep-seated pride in its local identity, often expressed through the vibrant festivals and community gatherings held near the shore. The proximity to the water allows for a unique perspective on the harbor, where the sight of large vessels passing by on the Kill Van Kull becomes a familiar, almost meditative part of the daily routine. While no major professional sports teams play within the local limits, the enthusiasm for regional competition is palpable, and the influence of nearby urban centers ensures that the residents are never far from major cultural events. Notable individuals, such as the acclaimed author George R.R. Martin, have roots here, carrying the spirit of the peninsula into their work, while the sight of Shooters Island sitting three miles off the coast serves as a quiet, natural landmark that defines the visual horizon for those who call Bayonne home.
