Explore Collingswood, 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 Collingswood, 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 Collingswood.
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.

Collingswood maintains a deliberate stillness amidst the expansive suburban landscape of southern New Jersey. It lies 1.4 miles west-northwest of Westmont, NJ (from Westmont, NJ: bearing 295°T), and is situated 5.4 miles east-southeast of Philadelphia. The topography surrounding Collingswood remains largely flat and terrestrial, positioned fifty-two miles inland from the nearest coastline. Residents often find solace in the green expanse of Knight Park, which serves as a central artery for public life. Just one mile away, the Cooper River flows steadily, carving a quiet path through the terrain. To the distant west, the Falls of Schuylkill provide a subtle reminder of the region’s geological history, while the horizon occasionally offers a glimpse of the distant Sandy Ridge.
Development in Collingswood traces back to early agrarian roots that gradually transitioned into a transit-oriented residential hub. The local economy relies heavily on a vibrant downtown corridor where small businesses, professional services, and independent restaurants define the commercial fiber. Industry in the region has moved away from the manufacturing centers of the past, favoring instead a service-based economy that supports the daily needs of the dense residential population. Commuters often utilize the nearby transit lines, reflecting a shift from local production to a role as a regional residential anchor. The economic rhythm here remains closely tied to the stability of the surrounding professional landscape, moving at a pace dictated by the morning train and the evening return.
Cultural life in Collingswood centers on a progressive, community-oriented spirit that values historic preservation and local engagement. Public gatherings frequently animate the streets, with seasonal markets and community festivals drawing visitors to the corridors near the serene waters of Cooper River Lake. Notable landmarks include the preserved architecture that lines the older residential blocks, reflecting a commitment to maintaining the town's original character. Among those who have called the region home, the poet Walt Whitman remains the most prominent figure, having spent his final years in the nearby area, leaving a legacy of contemplative observation that still resonates through the local temperament. Collingswood continues to nurture a distinct identity, balancing the quietude of its public parks with an active, modern civic life.

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.
