How to Use This Cedar Glen West, New Jersey Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cedar Glen West, 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 West.

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 Cedar Glen West, New Jersey

Cedar Glen West is a locality in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,379. The population density is 501.8 people per km². Cedar Glen West is located at 40.0421°N, 74.2926°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 08759.

Cedar Glen West occupies a flat, sandy expanse where the horizon is defined by the persistent, upright silhouettes of pitch pines and scrub oaks. It lies 5.4 miles north of Ocean County, NJ (from Ocean County, NJ: bearing 11°T), and is situated 5.5 miles southwest of Lakewood. The landscape here is characterized by porous, acidic soil that drinks the rain quickly, leaving the terrain dry and quiet under the expansive New Jersey sky. Only a mile away, the Ridgeway Branch carves a narrow, tea-colored path through the undergrowth, its slow movement marking the most active geography for miles. Beyond the immediate perimeter, the Manchester Wildlife Management Area offers an uninterrupted reach of protected brush and timber, while the distant, hazy blue of the Mount Pleasant Hills remains a mere suggestion against the western sky, far removed from the immediate, level reality of the plains.

History in Cedar Glen West is written in the deliberate, low-slung lines of residential development that transformed these former woodlands into a quiet, structured retreat. The local economy and daily rhythm reflect a preference for steady, unassuming patterns, largely detached from the frantic pulse of the northern metropolitan corridors. Residents often look toward the nearby Jackson State Forest for a sense of scale, or find a different sort of stillness three miles away at the edge of Horicon Lake, where the water reflects the amber light of late afternoon with a heavy, glass-like clarity. Life here persists in the intervals between the pines, favoring a measured pace where the primary sound is the wind moving through the needles, a constant, dry rustle that persists long after the work day has faded into evening.

About This Cedar Glen West Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cedar Glen West, New Jersey. Coordinates: 40.04206, -74.292646. 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 Cedar Glen West includes the ZIP code (08759), telephone area code (732, 848), county seat of Ocean County (Toms River), and school district assignment (Manchester 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.
