Explore Carlstadt, 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 Carlstadt, 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 Carlstadt.
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.

Carlstadt emerges from the flat, industrious stretch of northern New Jersey as a place defined by the steady pulse of movement and the sharp clarity of the horizon. The land here carries a heavy, damp quality, owing much to the proximity of Berrys Creek, which winds through the low-lying terrain. While the bustling influence of the distant coastline reaches toward the horizon, the air in Carlstadt retains a distinct, inland stillness. Residents often look toward the distant silhouette of First Watchung Mountain, which anchors the western skyline in a deep, permanent gray. On quiet afternoons, the nearby Yantacaw Pond offers a singular point of calm, its surface reflecting the changing moods of the sky.
Carlstadt traces its roots to a deliberate vision of order and collective ambition, established by pioneers who sought to build a structured life upon this marshy foundation. The local economy grew from the strength of its industrious spirit, evolving into a landscape of warehouses and specialized manufacturing that serves the wider regional commerce. This heritage of hard work remains visible in the functional architecture of the district, where the rhythm of the workweek dictates the pace of the streets. Stoltz Park provides a necessary green pause in this dense environment, offering a space for the community to gather away from the hum of the nearby transit routes. The evolution of Carlstadt reflects a pragmatic commitment to growth, ensuring that the legacy of its founders survives in the persistent activity of its modern industrial corridors.
The cultural character of Carlstadt is shaped by a quiet, enduring pride and a deep connection to the regional identity of the northern meadows. Local life finds its center in the small, traditional gatherings that mark the calendar, fostering a sense of continuity among those who call the borough home. While the Great Lawn provides a distant, expansive reference point for the region, the daily experience remains grounded in the tangible reality of the local neighborhood. Notable figures such as the renowned actor Joe Pesci have roots in this corner of the state, carrying with them the distinct, no-nonsense temperament that defines the local atmosphere. Visitors might catch a glimpse of the powerful Passaic Falls during a day trip, yet they always return to the familiar, unpretentious streets of Carlstadt. Through every season, the town maintains a steady, deliberate grace that honors its place in the landscape.

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.
