Explore Cedar Grove, 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 Grove, 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 Grove.
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 Grove occupies a landscape where the terrestrial weight of the earth meets the soft, humid breath of the Atlantic Ocean, which sits only five miles to the east. It lies 2.1 miles northeast of Toms River, NJ (from Toms River, NJ: bearing 49°T), and is situated 7.6 miles east of Ocean County. Long Swamp Creek carves its path through the lower reaches of the terrain, a narrow, winding ribbon of water that anchors the local ecosystem and dictates the drainage of the soil. Beyond the residential plots and the quiet, paved arteries of the neighborhood, the horizon remains flat and unburdened by any significant elevation, save for the distant, hazy suggestion of Stony Hill rising seven miles away. At dusk, the light here turns a bruised, metallic violet, catching the reeds that lean into the creek and casting long, sharp shadows across the manicured lawns of Skyview Park, where the stillness of the evening air is broken only by the distant, rhythmic hum of transit.
Cedar Grove evolved from an agrarian past into a suburban landscape, its character defined by the steady, measured pace of a professional class that commutes toward the larger centers of commerce. The economy reflects a modern transition away from the small-scale cultivation of its early days, yet the proximity to the saltwater marshes and the presence of Cattus Island nearby remind residents of the proximity to the coastline. While Forge Pond remains a quiet, seven-mile sanctuary for those seeking the stillness of inland water, the life of the place is tethered to the infrastructure that facilitates the daily movement of its inhabitants. Cedar Grove maintains a certain stoic reserve, a quality found in the architecture of its homes and the way the community organizes itself around the local schools and the open, accessible spaces of Skyview Park, balancing the demands of a complex, industrious state with a private, residential quietude.

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.
