How to Use This Blackwood, New Jersey Map

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

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.

About Blackwood, New Jersey

Blackwood is a locality in Camden County, New Jersey, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,622. The population density is 1462.8 people per km². Blackwood is located at 39.8023°N, 75.0641°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 08012.

Blackwood emerges from the flat, wooded landscape of southern New Jersey as a place defined by the steady, persistent flow of Farrows Run. It lies 3.1 miles north-northwest of Washington Gloucester County, NJ (from Washington Gloucester County, NJ: bearing 343°T), and is situated 6.8 miles north-northeast of Gloucester. The water carves a quiet path through the terrain, feeding into the still, dark surface of Blackwood Lake, where the reeds lean low against the banks under the heavy, humid heat of midsummer afternoons. Beyond the immediate reach of these waters, the land stretches out in a series of modest elevations and dense thickets, far removed from the jagged peaks of Sandy Ridge that haunt the distant horizon. In the quiet hours of dusk, the light here turns a bruised, singular violet, casting long shadows across the open expanse of Harwan Park and settling into the sediment of the creek beds with an ancient, unhurried weight.

Blackwood carries the echoes of early colonial settlement, having served as a crossroads for travelers long before the modern grid of roads and suburban sprawl took hold. The local economy, once tethered to the slow turn of mills and the cultivation of the surrounding soil, has evolved into a rhythm of transit and commerce that sustains the daily lives of those who remain. While the sprawling reaches of Wharton State Forest lie fifteen miles to the east, the character of Blackwood remains grounded in the practical, working-class spirit of the region. The proximity to the low-lying basin of League Island informs the damp, fertile quality of the air, ensuring that even as the years pass, the land retains a stubborn, verdant persistence that shapes the outlook of everyone who walks these streets.

About This Blackwood Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Blackwood, New Jersey. Coordinates: 39.802336, -75.06406. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Blackwood includes the ZIP code (08012), telephone area code (856, 609), county seat of Camden County (Camden), and school district assignment (Black Horse Pike Regional School District).

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.
