Explore Carneys Point, 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 Carneys Point, 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 Carneys Point.
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.

Carneys Point emerges from the flat, industrious landscape of western New Jersey as a place defined by its sturdy, inland character. It lies 4.7 miles north-northeast of Pennsville, NJ (from Pennsville, NJ: bearing 32°T), and is situated 4.7 miles east-southeast of Wilmington.
Hanby Creek winds through the terrain, providing a quiet, constant presence that shapes the immediate surroundings. The land stretches out in a series of open, low-lying fields and pockets of dense vegetation that catch the long, golden light of late afternoon. While the horizon remains largely level, the distant silhouette of Big Mannington Hill marks the far edge of the view. Residents often find respite in the quiet green space of Salem City 1, a local park that offers a brief, intentional pause from the pace of daily work. Those seeking a longer excursion might head toward the wooded expanse of Red Lion State Forest, while the waters of Phillips Pond remain a distant, quiet landmark to the north.
Development in Carneys Point has long been tethered to the rhythm of regional manufacturing and the movement of goods through the state’s complex network of inland transit. The local economy draws strength from its proximity to major industrial arteries, reflecting a history of labor that has sustained families for generations. Sturdy warehouses and specialized manufacturing plants define the skyline, standing as functional monuments to the town’s role in the broader regional economy. Even as the nature of industry evolves, the workforce maintains a connection to the practical, hands-on traditions that first established the area. This reliance on production and logistics gives the streets a purposeful, unadorned energy that persists through the changing seasons.
Cultural life in Carneys Point is marked by a modest, neighborly sincerity that favors quiet gatherings over loud displays. The community observes local events with a consistency that binds the neighborhood together, often centered around school athletics or seasonal commemorations. While the pace of life is dictated by the steady turn of the work week, the area has seen individuals of genuine national note, such as the storied professional athlete Mike Trout, who grew up within the broader regional orbit. Landmarks here are defined by their utility and longevity, serving as reliable anchors for those who walk the streets daily. Above all, Carneys Point retains an authentic, grounded personality that resists the influence of more crowded, suburban centers nearby.

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.
