Explore Far Hills, 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 Far Hills, 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 Far Hills.
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.

Far Hills reveals its character through the slow, deliberate meander of Mine Brook, which carves a quiet path through the terrain as it reflects the shifting light of the afternoon sky. It lies 2.1 miles north-northwest of The Hills, NJ (from The Hills, NJ: bearing 337°T), and is situated 6.3 miles north of Bridgewater. The land here rises and falls in long, grassy swells that suggest the persistence of ancient glacial activity, punctuated by the shadow of Mount Saint John looming four miles to the north. At the Belcher Fairgrounds, the earth remains open and expansive, offering a sense of scale that contrasts with the dense, verdant thickets of the surrounding landscape. During the autumn months, the air takes on a crisp, metallic edge, sharpening the silhouette of the trees and deepening the palette of the soil to a rich, dark umber.
History in Far Hills is written in the preservation of large, pastoral estates that define the local economy, favoring legacy and land stewardship over industrial expansion. The pace of life is dictated by the turning of the seasons rather than the rush of distant commerce, maintaining a quietude that has persisted since the region’s early agrarian settlement. Local tradition leans into the equestrian culture and the maintenance of open space, ensuring that the character of the land remains largely undisturbed by modern density. Even as the decades pass, the inhabitants of Far Hills continue to value the stillness found in the transition between the fading day and the onset of a starlit night, keeping the area tied to its roots as a place of quiet, deliberate permanence.

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.
