How to Use This Burlington City, New Jersey Map

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

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.

Burlington City occupies a modest expanse of earth defined by the steady, persistent flow of the Delaware River. The terrain remains low and grounded, marked by the modest rise of Laurel Hill nearby, which offers a slight vantage point over the flat, sprawling mid-Atlantic landscape. Residents often note how the light at dusk catches the surface of the Delaware River, turning the water into a sheet of hammered silver that reflects the shifting colors of the sky. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the land stretches out toward the quietude of the Five Mile Woods Forest Preserve, providing a necessary contrast to the built environment. Every season leaves a distinct mark here, from the crisp, dry air of late autumn to the humid, heavy stillness that descends during the height of summer.

Burlington City carries the weight of a long timeline, having served as a colonial hub that watched the nation evolve from its earliest days of settlement. The local economy has transformed through the decades, shifting from the labor of early riverfront commerce into a modern blend of small-scale industry and regional service work. Men and women here have long relied on the steady rhythms of the local trade, sustaining a working-class persistence that defines the character of the streets. While the heavy manufacturing of the past has largely faded, the legacy of that era remains in the sturdy, red-brick architecture that lines the older commercial districts. Burlington City continues to adapt, balancing the preservation of its physical history with the practical demands of a contemporary economy that values resilience over rapid expansion.

Public life in Burlington City centers on the shared spaces of the community, where neighbors gather to maintain the continuity of their traditions. John F Kennedy Park serves as a quiet green anchor for the residents, offering a place to walk under the trees or simply observe the pace of the afternoon. Among the figures who have walked these streets, James Fenimore Cooper stands out as a globally recognized literary voice who spent his formative years in this environment. The town hosts periodic community events that bring people together, fostering a sense of connection that feels both deliberate and unforced. Burlington City maintains an atmosphere of understated endurance, where the focus remains on the daily tasks and the quiet interactions that form the bedrock of local identity.

About This Burlington City Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Burlington City, New Jersey. Coordinates: 40.078824, -74.852483. 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 Burlington City includes the ZIP code (08016), telephone area code (856, 609), county seat of Burlington County (Mount Holly), and school district assignment (Burlington City 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.
