Explore Demarest, 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 Demarest, 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 Demarest.
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.

Demarest holds the Tenakill Brook as its primary artery, a winding ribbon of water that shapes the low-lying terrain and nourishes the surrounding woodland. It lies 2.1 miles east-northeast of Dumont, NJ (from Dumont, NJ: bearing 56°T), and is situated 9.0 miles northwest of Bronx. The landscape remains defined by a quiet, terrestrial modesty, where the elevation rises and falls with a subtle, rhythmic persistence that speaks of ancient geological shifts. While the horizon remains flat and dense with suburban foliage, the air often carries the heavy, humid weight of the distant Eastchester Bay, a reminder of the coastal proximity that influences the local climate. Within the immediate borders, the green expanse of Demarest Borough Park provides a communal anchor, offering a preserved space where the earth feels less manicured and more reflective of the original, damp soil. On clear days, one might catch a faint, jagged suggestion of Castle Ridge rising in the distance, a slate-gray silhouette that marks the boundary of the familiar valley world.
History in Demarest is etched into the transition from agricultural roots to the steady, residential pulse that characterizes its modern economy. The presence of the Oradell Reservoir nearby serves as a quiet sentinel of the town’s water needs, reflecting the sky in a mirror of still, dark glass that contrasts with the constant, hurried movement of the modern commuter. Residents often find their way toward the Shore Trail, a path that invites a slower pace and connects the local experience to the broader, untamed geography of the state. Life here moves with a deliberate, measured cadence, informed by a legacy of careful stewardship and a collective preference for the shade of mature trees over the glare of industry. Even as the decades have smoothed the rough edges of early settlement, the fundamental character of Demarest remains tied to the brook and the woods, maintaining a grounded, unpretentious existence that favors the local over the transient.

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.
