How to Use This Fortescue, New Jersey Map

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

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.

Fortescue occupies a solitary stretch of low-lying earth where the land yields slowly to the tides. It lies 13.4 miles south-southwest of Millville, NJ (from Millville, NJ: bearing 212°T), and is situated 7.7 miles west of Maurice River. Salt-heavy air hangs over the flat expanse of the Glades Wildlife Refuge, which encompasses the perimeter of Fortescue and dictates the quiet, rhythmic expansion of the marshlands. To the north, the faint, hazy silhouette of Cabin Ridge breaks the horizon, providing a distant anchor for a landscape otherwise dominated by the soft, gray-green transition of water and grass. Beadon Creek carves a winding path through the silt toward the nearby expanse of Beadon Cove, pulling the brackish current in a perpetual, slow-motion dance. In the stillness of evening, the light catches the surface of Courtney Ponds two miles inland, mirroring the vast, unencumbered sky that defines this coastal edge.

Fortescue retains the weathered character of a place built upon the labor of the harvest, historically rooted in the bounty pulled from the nearby waters. The local economy persists as a quiet reflection of maritime tradition, where the daily pulse is measured by the coming and going of small vessels and the seasonal demands of the fishing industry. Beyond the immediate docks, the proximity to The Glades keeps the surrounding terrain wild and largely untouched, resisting the encroaching density found elsewhere in the state. Lores Island sits offshore as a sentinel of the shifting mudflats, marking a geography that remains indifferent to the frantic pace of the modern world. Life in Fortescue moves with the tide, preserving a sense of isolation that feels both fragile and enduring, anchored by a community that understands the necessity of living in constant dialogue with the water.
