Explore Bethlehem, 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 Bethlehem, 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 Bethlehem.
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.

Bethlehem exists as a patchwork of verdant fields and quiet woodlands, defined by the steady, unpretentious geography of the New Jersey interior. It lies 8.4 miles east-southeast of Phillipsburg, NJ (from Phillipsburg, NJ: bearing 105°T), and is situated 9.1 miles northwest of Hunterdon. The landscape rises and falls in long, muscular swells of earth, providing a natural buffer against the bustle of the modern world. To the horizon, the silhouette of Old Hound Ridge offers a permanent, darkening anchor to the sky, while the immediate ground is occupied by the rugged terrain of the Jugtown Mountain Reserve. The air here holds a distinct, cool clarity, especially when the golden light of late afternoon catches the tall, swaying grasses that line the local lanes. Just a mile away, the Musconetcong River carves its path through the bedrock, its waters reflecting the passing clouds with a dark, persistent clarity that seems to slow the very pulse of the day.
History in Bethlehem is written in the stone foundations of old farmsteads and the stubborn persistence of rural industry that has long defined the local economy. Farmers and craftsmen have worked this soil for generations, finding a rhythm that aligns with the changing seasons rather than the ticking of a clock. While the Musconetcong Valley serves as a low-lying cradle for agriculture and local commerce, the broader region remains marked by a sense of self-reliance and quiet labor. Those seeking the stillness of water often gravitate toward Spruce Run Reservoir, where the surface remains glassy and undisturbed under the morning mist. Life in Bethlehem moves with an intentional, deliberate pace, where the sound of wind through the trees and the distant, rhythmic hum of agricultural machinery serve as the primary soundtrack to a day well spent.

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.
