Explore Beachwood, 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 Beachwood, 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 Beachwood.
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.

Beachwood maintains a quiet presence along the banks where the Jakes Branch flows, its waters tracing a path through the low-lying terrain. It lies 1.1 miles south-southeast of Toms River, NJ (from Toms River, NJ: bearing 165°T), and is situated 6.6 miles east-southeast of Ocean County. The air here carries a faint, salt-tinged promise from the Atlantic Ocean, which sits only six miles away as a distant, unseen boundary. Beyond the immediate reach of the waterways, the landscape remains flat and unassuming, marked by the steady growth of pine and oak. Swordens Pond lies four miles distant, offering a still reflection of the sky that contrasts with the rhythmic movement of the nearby currents. On the horizon, the silhouette of Sandy Ridge stands as a faint, jagged reminder of the earth’s varied elevation far from these coastal plains.
Beachwood grew from its early foundations as a modest settlement, gradually maturing into a residential enclave defined by its connection to the surrounding woodland. The local economy shifted over the decades from early resource-based activities to a suburban structure that supports a quiet, working-class rhythm. Residents often commute to broader industrial centers, yet the town preserves its own distinct character through the maintenance of neighborhood shops and small-scale service providers. The proximity to the Rails to Trails network provides a persistent connection to the land’s history, turning former passages into paths for modern reflection. This legacy of transition ensures that Beachwood remains a place where the pace of life feels tethered to the changing seasons rather than the frantic pulse of the nearby urban corridors.
Cultural life in Beachwood finds its expression in the communal gatherings that animate the local parks and public spaces. The Rails to Trails corridor serves as a primary landmark, inviting residents to walk beneath the canopy and observe the subtle shifts in light that characterize the late afternoon. While Cattus Island remains a sanctuary five miles away, its influence on the coastal ecology is felt in the migration of birds and the damp, cooling winds that sweep through the streets. Although the region has nurtured many lives, it is defined more by the collective spirit of its people than by the celebrity of any single individual. The town maintains a steady, unremarkable grace, valuing the simple clarity of a day spent near the water or within the shade of the quiet, sandy soil.

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.
