Explore Fairview, 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 Fairview, 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 Fairview.
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.

Fairview maintains a humble presence upon the landscape, defined by its dense suburban character and proximity to the shifting light of the horizon. It lies 6.0 miles south of Phillipsburg, NJ (from Phillipsburg, NJ: bearing 170°T), and is situated 6.1 miles south-southeast of Easton. Wolf Creek traces a quiet path just one mile away, offering a narrow, winding artery that drains the local terrain. Three miles to the west, the Great Lawn forms a gentle basin, while to the east, the distant influence of Bowery Bay suggests the proximity of the open coastline. During the golden hour, the silhouettes of the First Watchung Mountain range emerge twelve miles off, anchoring the western view in deep, jagged charcoal. Residents often gather in Columbus Park, a green refuge that serves as the immediate lungs of the neighborhood.
Fairview grew from the persistent efforts of families who recognized the value of a steady, industrious life near the metropolitan edge. Its economy has long mirrored the broader regional shift from small-scale manufacturing to a service-oriented rhythm, with many residents commuting to the dense centers of commerce nearby. The local industries once relied on the movement of goods through this transit corridor, a legacy that remains visible in the utilitarian architecture of older workshops and warehouses. Today, the streets hum with the steady motion of workers heading toward the transit hubs that link Fairview to the wider world. The town holds the memory of its past in the brickwork of its older homes, where the echoes of mid-century labor still linger in the evening air.
Cultural life in Fairview finds its center in the shared traditions of its diverse residents, who foster a sense of belonging amidst the suburban density. Public spaces like Columbus Park serve as the stage for local events, where the smell of seasonal gatherings drifts through the trees. While the town does not claim the birthplaces of national figures, it thrives on the quiet contributions of its own citizens who shape the daily vitality of the streets. Those who seek adventure might travel nine miles to reach the Shore Trail, or gaze toward the distant form of Mill Rock, which sits four miles away in the water. Life in Fairview proceeds with a deliberate, grounded pace, reflecting the persistence of a community that values its place within the vast, complex expanse of the state.

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.
