Explore Deptford, 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 Deptford, 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 Deptford.
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.

Deptford maintains a steady, deliberate presence upon the flat, inland plains of the region. It lies 1.8 miles east-southeast of Woodbury, NJ (from Woodbury, NJ: bearing 116°T), and is situated 9.0 miles south-southeast of Philadelphia. Woodbury Creek traces a quiet path through the landscape, its slow movement offering a sense of permanence to the surrounding fields. The horizon remains wide and unobscured, occasionally hinting at the distant prominence of Pine Hill to the south. During the late afternoon, the light settles heavily over the flat terrain, turning the sky a muted, dusty gold that emphasizes the quiet scale of the earth. Residents often gather at the Fasola Recreation Area, where the open spaces provide a necessary breath of air amidst the suburban reach.
Deptford bears the weight of a long settlement history that transitioned from early agricultural roots to a modern, commerce-driven identity. The local economy grew alongside the expansion of arterial roads, transforming the landscape into a hub for retail and industry that serves the broader region. Small remnants of the past linger in the architecture of older structures, standing in contrast to the bustling centers of trade that define the current era. This shift toward a service-oriented economy has reshaped the way the day unfolds, favoring the steady hum of transit over the seasonal rhythms of the farm. Despite these changes, the fundamental character of the land remains anchored in its utility and its capacity to support a dense, working population.
Cultural life in Deptford finds its expression in the daily habits of those who move through its spaces, marked by a pragmatic and unpretentious spirit. Notable landmarks include the various centers of commerce that act as unofficial gathering points, grounding the social life of the neighborhood in the mundane reality of the present. While the area does not claim the fame of major urban centers, it is recognized as the birthplace of the influential singer-songwriter Jim Croce, whose music captured a sense of place that resonates with many. Local events often center on the shared use of public facilities, where the pace of conversation slows to match the drift of the clouds. This quiet, persistent character defines the experience of living here, offering a sense of stability that persists regardless of the changing world outside.

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.
