Explore East Newark, 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 East Newark, 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 East Newark.
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.

East Newark maintains a stubborn, industrial gravity along the western banks of the Passaic River, where the tidal pulse of the water dictates the rhythm of the shoreline. The land here is defined by a dense, paved flatness that stretches toward the horizon, where the distant, hazy silhouette of First Watchung Mountain rises like a jagged spine against the sky. Within this compact grid, the Municipal Park offers a small, green reprieve from the surrounding brickwork, serving as an anchor for the neighborhood’s daily movements. The air carries a heavy, humid weight, reminiscent of the salt-tinged atmosphere found ten miles away at the Wallabout Channel, though the local environment remains firmly rooted in the grit of the river valley. When the light hits the water at dusk, the surface turns a bruised, metallic violet, reflecting the industrial legacy that continues to color the character of the soil.
Generations of workers built the foundation of East Newark through a reliance on manufacturing and the steady, churning motion of the river trade. The proximity to the Morris Canal Basin, seven miles away, once funneled the raw materials of commerce through these streets, leaving behind a heritage of brick factories and row houses that define the local aesthetic. While the bustle of the nearby Ellis Island, seven miles away, suggests the vastness of the wider world, East Newark stays focused on its own internal mechanics and the quiet persistence of its inhabitants. Residents occasionally look toward the calm, reflective waters of Weequahic Lake, three miles distant, as a contrast to the swift, dark flow of the Passaic River that has long powered the local economy. Even with the distant, cascading sound of Maple Falls seven miles away, the locality remains defined by its functional, unadorned industriousness, a place where the work of the day is written into the very density of the architecture.

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.
