How to Use This Bloomfield, New Jersey Map

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

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.

Bloomfield occupies a landscape defined by the persistent, winding presence of the Third River as it carves through the suburban terrain. It lies 1.7 miles southwest of Nutley, NJ (from Nutley, NJ: bearing 231°T), and is situated 8.2 miles northwest of Bergen.

The Third River serves as a vital artery for the region, its waters flowing steadily toward the distant horizon where the atmosphere eventually carries the faint, salt-tinged promise of Bushwick Inlet. To the west, the silhouette of First Watchung Mountain rises against the sky, grounding the perspective of those walking the streets of Bloomfield. Within the immediate vicinity, the quiet surface of Clarks Pond offers a reflective stillness that contrasts with the rhythmic movement of local life. Residents often find respite at Bloomfield Township Park, a space that anchors the neighborhood in green, open relief. Beyond these immediate boundaries, the terrain occasionally shifts toward the distant Preakness Valley, creating a sense of connection to the wider, complex geography of the state.

Historical development in Bloomfield emerged from early industrial ambitions, which transformed the landscape into a hub of manufacturing and production. The economy shifted over time from its mill-based origins to a diverse commercial environment, sustaining a steady, industrious pace that defines the local character. Workers once labored in factories that relied on the nearby waterways, building a foundation for the residential density that persists today. This history of labor remains visible in the sturdy architecture and the practical layout of the streets, which favor functionality and accessibility. While the specific industries have evolved, the spirit of the early makers continues to inform the way the local economy functions within the modern regional framework.

Bloomfield maintains a distinct cultural character, shaped by the convergence of diverse populations and a long-standing commitment to community civic life. The architecture is punctuated by historic structures and landmarks that offer a sense of continuity, while local events draw crowds to the public squares throughout the changing seasons. Notable figures such as the musician Wayne Shorter have roots here, lending a creative weight to the local identity that resonates well beyond the township lines. Life here moves with a deliberate, steady cadence, reflecting a deep familiarity with the surrounding environment and the nearby transit corridors. On quiet evenings, the quality of light falling across the facades of the older homes recalls a simpler, more measured era of American domesticity.
