Explore Franklin Hunterdon County, 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 Franklin Hunterdon County, 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 Franklin Hunterdon County.
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.

Franklin Hunterdon County reveals itself through a landscape of persistent, deliberate earth, where the soil holds the memory of ancient glacial retreats in its heavy, iron-rich clay. It lies 1.4 miles west of Hunterdon, NJ (from Hunterdon, NJ: bearing 267°T), and is situated 7.6 miles southwest of Lebanon. The land here does not rise into dramatic peaks, though the distant Fox Hill Range occasionally catches the fading light of dusk, appearing as a soft, violet bruise against the horizon. Below these heights, the terrain settles into a quiet sequence of folds and ridges, drained by the meandering path of Lockatong Creek as it carves a slow, purposeful route through the woodland floor. Nearby, the Capoolong Creek Wildlife Management Area offers a sanctuary of tangled brush and quiet canopy, a place where the air remains cool and damp even in the height of midsummer, and the stillness is broken only by the sudden, percussive flight of a startled bird.
Franklin Hunterdon County carries the weight of a long agricultural inheritance, where the foundations of early stone dwellings still anchor the edge of fields that have been turned by the plow for generations. The local economy has shifted from the agrarian demands of the past into a quiet, modern rhythm, yet the character of the place remains tethered to the land, far removed from the frantic pace of the urban centers to the east. Residents often look toward the quiet expanse of Jutland Lake for a moment of reflection, or find their way toward the deeper, more secluded terrain of Hermit Hollow, where the shadows lengthen early and the silence feels earned. Life here moves with a steady, unadorned pulse, defined by the changing color of the leaves and the reliable, seasonal passage of the water through the lowlands, maintaining a stubborn, modest independence that keeps the sprawl at bay.

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.
