How to Use This Chatham, New Jersey Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Chatham, 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 Chatham.

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.

Chatham occupies a quiet expanse of inland terrain where the horizon is defined by the gentle, rising silhouette of Long Hill. It lies 1.3 miles west of Summit, NJ (from Summit, NJ: bearing 268°T), and is situated 7.2 miles west-southwest of Essex. The landscape here is shaped by the steady flow of the Passaic River, which meanders through the territory just one mile from the center. Residents often gather in Firehouse Park to observe the seasonal shift of light as it filters through the trees during the late afternoon. Beyond the immediate municipal borders, the terrain remains largely defined by inland topography rather than coastal influences. A short distance away, the waters of Canoe Brook Reservoir Number 2 provide a stillness that contrasts with the rhythmic pace of daily life.

Chatham traces its origins to early colonial settlement, evolving from agricultural roots into a residential hub that values its established character. The local economy has shifted over the decades, moving away from its early reliance on milling and small-scale manufacturing to support a diverse array of professional services and retail enterprises. Many residents commute to larger commercial centers, yet the local business district maintains a distinct vitality that serves the immediate population. This economic stability allows the infrastructure to remain well-maintained, supporting both historic residential architecture and modern functional spaces. The legacy of these industrious beginnings remains visible in the thoughtful preservation of older buildings that anchor the center of Chatham.

Cultural life in Chatham revolves around a shared commitment to education and the preservation of local heritage, reflected in the vibrant activity found in its schools and public gathering spaces. Notable landmarks include the varied architecture that captures the town's progression through different eras of American design. While the area is largely residential, it has been the home of figures such as the renowned author Thomas Fleming, who found inspiration in the surroundings of the region. Local events foster a sense of continuity among neighbors, often drawing people together to celebrate the changing seasons or observe significant holidays. Visitors traveling through the region might catch a glimpse of the impressive flow at Maple Falls, located four miles away, which serves as a quiet reminder of the natural features defining this inland geography.
