Explore Fair Haven, 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 Fair Haven, 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 Fair Haven.
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.

Fair Haven emerges from the landscape where the Fourth Creek carves a quiet path through the terrain, defining the movement of water toward the horizon. It lies 1.7 miles northeast of Red Bank, NJ (from Red Bank, NJ: bearing 56°T), and is situated 8.4 miles north-northeast of Monmouth. This locality exists as a coastal environment, feeling the subtle pull of the tides that rise and fall just four miles from the vast Atlantic Ocean. Beyond the immediate banks of the creek, the land stretches out in a subtle transition toward the distant Mount Pleasant Hills that frame the view. Residents often find stillness near the waters of Shippees Pond, a small, reflective basin that anchors the local scenery. The air here holds a distinct salt-tinged moisture, cooling the evenings and settling softly over the grasses near the water’s edge.
Fair Haven maintains a history rooted in the industry of the water, where earlier generations relied on the bounty of the coastal reach to sustain their modest livelihoods. The local economy has shifted over time from maritime labor to a quieter, service-oriented presence that supports the daily needs of those who dwell here. Small businesses remain the backbone of the local commerce, operating with a steady, deliberate pace that honors the legacy of those who first settled these banks. While industrial growth once defined the regional footprint, the current landscape favors a blend of residential tranquility and local enterprise. The rhythm of the work day flows with the changing light, mirroring the ebb and flow of the nearby Atlantic Ocean tides.
Fair Haven cultivates a cultural character defined by its open spaces and the communal spirit found at the Youth Center Fields. This public area serves as a gathering point for local events, where the energy of the day-to-day life is most visible against the backdrop of the verdant grounds. Those who visit or reside here often look toward the sight of Barley Point Island, which punctuates the water with its singular, quiet presence. While many individuals have passed through these streets, the place is remembered for its connection to the actor and director Kevin Smith, who spent his formative years absorbing the atmosphere of the neighborhood. The identity of the locale rests not in grand monuments, but in the persistent, quiet beauty of the creek and the enduring connection to the coastal sky.

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.
