How to Use This Clark, New Jersey Map

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

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.

It lies 1.7 miles southwest of Union County, NJ (from Union County, NJ: bearing 222°T), and is situated 9.3 miles west-northwest of Staten Island. The Rahway River Parkway serves as a vital green artery for Clark, offering residents a lush corridor of trees and open space that balances the suburban landscape. Nearby, the quiet waters of Bloodgoods Pond reflect the changing sky, providing a calm point of stillness amidst the activity of daily life. While the terrain remains largely level, the distant silhouette of Long Hill rises on the horizon to break the line of the clouds. The air here holds a crisp, terrestrial quality, carrying a faint suggestion of the salt-tinged breeze that arrives from the Gulfport Reach only a short distance away.

Clark evolved from its early agrarian roots into a resilient residential enclave, shaped by the steady expansion of regional industry and commerce. The local economy relies on a diverse range of neighborhood services and businesses that sustain the daily needs of its residents while maintaining a sense of professional stability. Historically, the transition from open land to a structured suburban environment occurred with a deliberate pace, ensuring that the character of the place remained grounded in its original layout. Employment opportunities in the wider region often pull commuters toward larger centers, yet the industrious spirit of Clark remains visible in its well-maintained commercial corridors. The labor of previous generations persists in the sturdy architecture of local schools and municipal buildings, which anchor the identity of the people who live here.

Clark fosters a cultural atmosphere defined by its active community life and the shared pride of its residents. The annual events held throughout the year bring neighbors together, turning common spaces into vibrant settings for local interaction and celebration.
