Explore Cresskill, 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 Cresskill, 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 Cresskill.
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.

Cresskill defines itself through the quiet, persistent movement of the Tenakill Brook as it flows through the local landscape. It lies 1.1 miles north of Tenafly, NJ (from Tenafly, NJ: bearing 10°T), and is situated 8.0 miles northwest of Bronx. The ground in Cresskill rises gently from the banks of this waterway, offering a topography that feels both intimate and expansive. Residents often find their way to the Shore Trail, which provides a connection to the natural world just a short distance away. On clear days, the silhouette of Castle Ridge emerges on the horizon, anchoring the view toward the west. While the air carries a faint salt-tinged breeze from Eastchester Bay ten miles away, the immediate surroundings remain defined by the calm surface of Pfisters Pond.
Cresskill began as a modest settlement that slowly transitioned from its agricultural roots into a residential enclave. Early commerce relied heavily on the proximity of the rail line, which facilitated the movement of goods and allowed the local economy to integrate with the broader regional market. Today, the economy of Cresskill functions primarily as a service-oriented hub, with many residents commuting to professional centers while maintaining a quiet life at home. The development of Ackerman Place Fields has preserved vital open space, ensuring that the land remains a functional part of the daily experience. Industry has largely faded from the immediate vicinity, leaving behind a suburban character that values the preservation of its quiet, tree-lined residential sectors.
Cultural life in Cresskill centers around the shared experiences of its residents and the active participation in local educational and social initiatives. The atmosphere is one of thoughtful reserve, where the quality of light at dusk across the local playing fields often captures a sense of enduring peace. Notable individuals who have spent time here include the actor Glenn Close, whose presence once added a distinct thread to the local narrative. Public gatherings at Ackerman Place Fields serve as a frequent venue for community engagement, reflecting the steady rhythm of the seasons. Life in Cresskill unfolds with a deliberate, steady pace that prioritizes the comfort of the neighborhood over the frenetic energy of the nearby urban centers.

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.
