Explore Fair Lawn, 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 Lawn, 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 Lawn.
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 Lawn reveals its character through the steady, rhythmic pulse of the Little Diamond Brook as it winds through the suburban landscape. It lies 1.3 miles east-southeast of Hawthorne, NJ (from Hawthorne, NJ: bearing 118°T), and is situated 2.6 miles northeast of Paterson. The terrain here slopes toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Watchung Mountains, which frame the horizon with a quiet, persistent presence. Residents often find a moment of stillness at Everett Park, where the green expanse offers a respite from the intensity of the surrounding region. The air carries a faint, salt-tinged memory of the coast, located only seventeen miles away, while the nearby waters of Wallington Reach remind one of the proximity to the wider world. On quiet evenings, the reflected light upon the surface of Van Winkles Pond captures the slow transition of colors in the sky.
Fair Lawn grew from its agricultural roots into a diverse residential center, shaped by the post-war expansion that defined the character of the region. Local industry once thrived on the production of textiles and machinery, drawing a workforce that valued the stability of a well-planned community. Today, the economy remains focused on light manufacturing and professional services, maintaining a balance between labor and commerce that keeps the streets active during the work week. The nearby Saddle River Valley serves as a historical reminder of the area’s early development, providing a corridor for both transit and trade. The presence of Passaic Falls nearby underscores the industrial heritage of the broader landscape, where water power once drove the engines of progress.
Fair Lawn cultivates a distinct cultural identity that honors its mid-century architecture and the persistent, industrious spirit of its citizens. The town remains a place of quiet pride, where residents gather for seasonal events that fill the local parks with the sounds of community life. Public spaces are marked by a sense of order, reflecting a long-standing commitment to maintaining a high quality of life for every family. Notable individuals who have walked these streets include the influential author and poet William Carlos Williams, whose work often explored the texture of life in this very region. The influence of such voices remains embedded in the collective consciousness, grounding the everyday experience of Fair Lawn in a tradition of thoughtful observation.

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.
