Explore Florence, 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 Florence, 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 Florence.
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.

Florence unfolds across a landscape defined by the steady, dark transit of the Pump Branch, which carves a quiet path through the low-lying terrain. It lies 2.6 miles southwest of Waterford, NJ (from Waterford, NJ: bearing 215°T), and is situated 4.2 miles southwest of Jackson. The earth here is damp and heavy, holding the shadows of the White Cedards that stretch out to define the local horizon. In the late afternoon, the light turns a bruised, autumnal gold, catching the iron-rich soil and reflecting off the stagnant pools of the lowlands. Six miles to the east, the silhouette of Pine Hill rises as a singular, muted landmark against the sky, while five miles to the north, the waters of Lake George remain a calm, glassy expanse in the deep greenery. The air feels dense with the respiration of the nearby Wharton State Forest, carrying the scent of pine needles and wet earth that settles over the streets when the wind dies down.
Florence retains the lingering weight of its industrial origins, where the rhythmic pulse of manufacturing once dictated the daily migration of laborers through the grid of streets. The economy has long since shifted from those heavy, forge-lit beginnings, leaving behind a stillness that settles into the brickwork of older buildings and the quietude of the residential blocks. Life moves with an unforced cadence, shaped by the proximity of the surrounding woodlands and the persistent, slow-moving presence of the local creek. People here recognize the passage of time not through grand monuments, but in the slow reclamation of the land by native flora and the way the seasons alter the color of the canopy. It is a place where the history of toil remains etched into the very architecture of the neighborhood, grounding the present in a persistent, working-class endurance.

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.
