Explore Dumont, 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 Dumont, 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 Dumont.
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.

Dumont holds a quiet presence where the gentle flow of Hirshfeld Brook shapes the rhythm of the local landscape. It lies 2.0 miles east-southeast of Rockaway, NJ (from Rockaway, NJ: bearing 108°T), and is situated 6.2 miles east-northeast of Randolph. This waterway carves a path through the terrain, offering a cooling influence that defines the character of the neighborhood. Residents often find respite at Cooper Pond, a serene body of water that mirrors the shifting sky just a mile away. While the distant Watchung Mountains frame the western horizon, the land itself remains defined by the modest, purposeful intersection of suburban architecture and natural drainage. Even as the air carries a faint, salt-tinged breeze reminiscent of the distant Eastchester Bay, the atmosphere remains grounded in the steady, terrestrial life of the interior.
Dumont emerged from early agricultural roots, gradually transitioning into the residential hub that defines its modern identity. The local economy grew in tandem with the expansion of regional transit, allowing the workforce to balance professional lives elsewhere with the stability of a settled, structured environment. Small-scale commerce and service industries thrive here, supported by a population that values the integrity of their daily surroundings. History persists in the older street patterns and the enduring maintenance of Sirosis Park, which serves as a vital green anchor for the public. The development of the area reflects a commitment to maintaining a functional, orderly pace of life that prizes consistency over rapid, disruptive growth.
Dumont cultivates a distinct cultural character through its local gatherings and the dedicated stewardship of its public spaces. The community spirit finds its most vibrant expression during seasonal events at Sirosis Park, where neighbors congregate to celebrate the simple traditions of the calendar year. While the roar of Passaic Falls remains a distant, powerful murmur to the north, the town prefers the quietude of its own well-kept streets and the recreational paths like the Shore Trail. Notable figures such as the actress Loretta Swit have roots tied to the region, adding a modest layer of recognition to the local narrative. Life here moves with a deliberate, unassuming grace, favoring the steady bonds of proximity and the shared experience of changing seasons.

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.
