How to Use This Boonton, New Jersey Map

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

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.

Boonton emerges from the rugged terrain of northern New Jersey, defined by the persistent, winding energy of the Rockaway River that cuts through its center. It lies 1.5 miles southwest of Montville, NJ (from Montville, NJ: bearing 235°T), and is situated 7.0 miles west-southwest of Wayne. The landscape here is characterized by steep inclines and deep, shaded ravines that anchor the geography of Boonton firmly within the inland topography. To the west, the distant silhouette of the Kittatinny Mountains defines the horizon, providing a sharp, blue-gray edge against the evening sky. Residents often find solace in the quiet expanse of Grace Lord Park, where the remnants of old ironworks merge with the wild, unkempt beauty of the riverbank. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the dense canopy of Norvin Green State Forest offers a vast, emerald sanctuary for those seeking the stillness of the woods.

Boonton grew from the grit and heat of the iron industry, as the power of the Rockaway River once fueled the furnaces that shaped the early regional economy. The legacy of these industrious years remains visible in the stone foundations and lingering architectural remnants that mark the path of the old Morris Canal. While the heavy manufacturing of the past has quieted, the local economy has transitioned into a diverse collection of small businesses and professional services that occupy the historic storefronts along the main thoroughfare. The proximity of the Boonton Reservoir ensures a reliable, steady presence of water that has influenced the development of the surrounding basin for generations. Today, the town maintains a steady pulse, balancing its industrial heritage with a modern focus on commerce and the preservation of its distinct, functional identity.

Boonton carries a cultural character shaped by a blend of long-standing family lines and a steady influx of those drawn to the town’s authentic, unpretentious atmosphere. Grace Lord Park serves as a focal point for public life, where the sound of rushing water provides a constant, rhythmic backdrop to seasonal gatherings and community events. The town has been home to notable figures like the American novelist and short story writer John O'Hara, who spent formative years in the area, absorbing the specific nuances of the regional landscape. Life moves with an observant, deliberate quality, reflected in the way light shifts across the brick facades during the quiet transition from afternoon to dusk. This place retains a sharp, clear sense of itself, avoiding the artificial polish of more suburbanized landscapes in favor of a grounded, enduring reality.
