Explore Bridgeton, 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 Bridgeton, 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 Bridgeton.
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.

Bridgeton defines the landscape through the rhythmic, dark passage of the Cohansey River as it winds through the quiet, inland plains. It lies 10.5 miles west of Millville, NJ (from Millville, NJ: bearing 280°T), and is situated 7.7 miles south-southwest of Pittsgrove. The Cohansey Riverfront provides a verdant sanctuary where the stillness of the water mirrors the shifting light of the afternoon sky. Beyond the immediate banks, the land stretches out in flat, fertile expanses that catch the golden haze of dusk in an almost permanent, amber glow. On the distant horizon, the faint, jagged silhouette of Cabin Ridge breaks the monotony of the flat horizon, reminding observers of the broader geology at play. Eddy Pond sits undisturbed nearby, its surface a glassy stillness that deepens the profound, meditative quality of the local terrain.
Bridgeton emerged as a center for industry, drawing its strength from the fertile soil and the reliable flow of the river that powered early mills. Glassmaking became a defining pursuit, with the local furnaces shaping the economic identity of the region for generations. As the years turned, agricultural production and food processing took root in the surrounding acreage, grounding the labor force in the seasonal cycles of the earth. The town maintains a sturdy, work-worn character that speaks to a history of manual craftsmanship and industrial resilience. Today, the economy continues to evolve, balancing the legacy of its manufacturing roots with the changing demands of a modern, inland commerce.
Cultural life in Bridgeton centers on the preservation of its architectural heritage, which includes a collection of historic homes that have survived the slow erosion of time. The town celebrates its identity through community gatherings that honor the diverse threads of its population, fostering a resilient and neighborly spirit. Notable landmarks, such as the various historic districts, offer a glimpse into the aesthetic values of previous eras, grounded in brick and shadow. Among those who have walked these streets, the legendary athlete Mike Trout spent his formative years in the region, carrying the quiet, industrious spirit of the area into his professional career. The pace of life remains deliberate, characterized by a steady adherence to tradition and a deep, unspoken connection to the land that sustains it.

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.
