Explore Cedar Glen Lakes, 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 Cedar Glen Lakes, 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 Cedar Glen Lakes.
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.

Cedar Glen Lakes emerges from the flat, sandy soil of the Pine Barrens, where the landscape is defined by a low, persistent horizon and the scent of damp earth. It lies 1.1 miles west of Manchester, NJ (from Manchester, NJ: bearing 263°T), and is situated 4.7 miles west of Ocean County. Old Hurricane Brook carves a quiet, tea-colored path through the scrubby pines and oaks, its steady flow shaping the moisture-heavy ground that defines the local topography. Sunlight here possesses a peculiar quality, filtering through the dense canopy of Brendan T. Byrne State Forest to cast long, amber shadows across the brush. The air remains still and heavy, carrying the silence of a vast, inland expanse that stretches toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Sandy Ridge.
Cedar Glen Lakes functions as a quiet extension of the regional woodland, maintaining a pace dictated by the seasonal shifts of the surrounding pines. The economy remains tethered to the slow, deliberate rhythms of the interior, far removed from the frantic pace of the state’s urban corridors. Residents often look toward the nearby serenity of Harry Wrights Lake, a localized point of reprieve from the vast, forested isolation that characterizes the outer reaches of the county. Life moves with the unpretentious gravity of those who live among the scrub-oaks, where the history of the land is written in the resilient, sandy soil rather than in monuments or grand architecture.

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.
