How to Use This Burleigh, New Jersey Map

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

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 Burleigh, New Jersey

Burleigh is a locality in Cape May County, New Jersey, United States. It is a small community with a population of 766. The population density is 194.2 people per km². Burleigh is located at 39.0457°N, 74.8516°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 08210.

Burleigh emerges from the flat, sandy expanse of the southern peninsula as a quiet crossroads defined by the persistent, brackish pulse of Cresse Creek. It lies 3.4 miles south-southwest of Middle, NJ (from Middle, NJ: bearing 211°T), and is situated 6.4 miles north-northeast of Lower. The landscape here is characterized by a low, horizontal intensity, where the sky seems to weigh heavily upon the muted greens of the Cape May Coastal Wetlands Wildlife Management Area. To the east, the air carries a faint, salt-crusted memory of the Atlantic Ocean, though the immediate terrain is dominated by the sprawling, marshy reaches that shift with the tidal pull. Beyond the nearby Great Flat, the horizon remains stubbornly level, lacking the distant silhouette of Cabin Ridge, leaving the land to be shaped by the cyclical moisture of the soil and the slow, encroaching growth of salt-tolerant vegetation.

Burleigh maintains a modest, utilitarian rhythm, its history tied to the movement of goods and travelers navigating the narrow corridor toward the shore. While the nearby Pennsylvania Ponds and the shifting sands of Buck Island provide minor diversions, the local economy remains tethered to the services and seasonal fluctuations of the surrounding region. Life in Burleigh unfolds with a deliberate, unadorned pace, far removed from the dense urban centers to the north, yet deeply sensitive to the ecological boundaries of the wetlands that press against its edges. The light at dusk here possesses a particular, silvered quality, catching the reeds of the creek and transforming the mundane utility of the roads into something stark and strangely permanent under the fading sun.

About This Burleigh Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Burleigh, New Jersey. Coordinates: 39.045669, -74.851558. 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 Burleigh includes the ZIP code (08210), telephone area code (609, 640), county seat of Cape May County (Middle Township), and school district assignment (Middle Township 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.
