Explore Cliffside Park, 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 Cliffside Park, 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 Cliffside Park.
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.

Cliffside Park maintains a high elevation that provides a commanding perspective over the surrounding terrain. It lies 4.4 miles south-southwest of Winslow, NJ (from Winslow, NJ: bearing 193°T), and is situated 9.6 miles south-southeast of Sicklerville. The land slopes steadily toward the Hudson River, which traces the eastern boundary with a persistent, fluid energy that defines the local horizon. To the west, the distant silhouette of the First Watchung Mountain offers a rugged contrast to the suburban density of the immediate streets. The Great Lawn provides a gentle, low-lying basin three miles away, while The Pool serves as a quiet aquatic anchor just two miles from the center. Residents often find solace in the Senior Citizen Honor Park, a local space that anchors the neighborhood with a steady, grounding presence.
Cliffside Park evolved from its early agricultural roots into a bustling residential hub that reflects the broader industrial shifts of the region. Local commerce has long flourished through a network of small businesses and professional services that cater to a diverse and industrious population. The proximity to major transit corridors has historically allowed the economy to remain vibrant, drawing strength from the steady hum of nearby urban centers. While the landscape is no longer defined by the farms of the past, the spirit of labor and development remains deeply embedded in the civic identity. Mill Rock stands four miles away as a silent witness to the maritime history that once shaped the broader movement of goods through these waterways. Even the distant influence of Bowery Bay, six miles to the southeast, reminds one of the maritime connection that historically facilitated the growth of this entire corridor.
Cliffside Park fosters a cultural character defined by its blend of immigrant heritage and a steadfast, working-class resilience. The streets often echo with the cadence of many languages, creating a social texture that feels both dense and remarkably cohesive. Notable individuals such as the actor Ed Harris have roots in this environment, reflecting the creative potential that often emerges from such a focused, grounded setting. Residents occasionally venture eight miles away to access the Shore Trail, where the rhythmic pace of the outdoors provides a necessary counterpoint to the busy daily life of the borough. Seasonal events frequently bring neighbors together in public squares, reinforcing a sense of belonging that transcends the modern suburban experience. The quality of light during a late autumn dusk, casting long shadows across the pavement, reveals an understated beauty in the way the architecture meets the sky.

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.
