How to Use This Folsom, New Jersey Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Folsom, 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 Folsom.

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.

Folsom emerges from the flat, sandy expanse of the inland terrain as a quiet collection of clearings carved into the dense, scrubby woodland. It lies 3.2 miles southwest of Hammonton, NJ (from Hammonton, NJ: bearing 222°T), and is situated 4.0 miles south-southeast of Winslow. The landscape here is defined by a subtle, porous earth where the air often holds a heavy, resinous scent of pine, lingering long after the sun has dipped below the horizon to cast long, thin shadows across the fields. Only a mile away, the Great Egg Harbor River carves a dark, tea-colored path through the landscape, its slow, deliberate current shaping the low-lying terrain. While Makepeace Lake lies six miles distant and the vast, protected expanses of Wharton State Forest sit eight miles to the north, the immediate vicinity remains dominated by a rural stillness, interrupted only by the rustle of wind through the pitch pines that characterize this stretch of the interior.

Folsom maintains a character rooted in its agricultural heritage, with expansive tracts of land dedicated to the cultivation of blueberries, a crop that defines the local economy and rhythms of the harvest season. This industrious spirit is visible in the working fields that border the Great Egg Harbor River Wildlife Management Area, where the land is managed with a careful, pragmatic attention to the cycles of the soil. Life in Folsom moves with a deliberate, unadorned pace, far removed from the denser suburban development found elsewhere in the region. Residents here exist in a quiet proximity to the natural world, acknowledging the history of a place where the economy has long been tethered to the unique, acidic earth and the endurance of those who work it.

About This Folsom Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Folsom, New Jersey. Coordinates: 39.602061, -74.842665. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Folsom includes the ZIP code (08037), telephone area code (856, 609), county seat of Atlantic County (Mays Landing), and school district assignment (Folsom Borough School District).

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.
