How to Use This Garfield, New Jersey Map

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

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.

Garfield occupies a flat, industrious stretch of land defined by the persistent flow of the Fleischer Brook. It lies 1.6 miles west of Lodi, NJ (from Lodi, NJ: bearing 268°T), and is situated 9.9 miles northeast of Essex. This local waterway carves a path through the landscape, acting as a quiet artery that connects the suburban density of the region. To the west, the distant outline of the First Watchung Mountain offers a sturdy horizon, while the nearby Dahnerts Lake provides a calm, reflective surface for the surrounding neighborhood. Though the air often carries the heavy, humid scent of the distant Bushwick Inlet, the ground remains firmly grounded in the basin of the Preakness Valley. Even on hazy afternoons, the light catches the metallic edges of the town, revealing a place shaped by human persistence and the slow, steady movement of water.

Garfield emerged from a tradition of manufacturing and hard-wrought labor that defined the industrial character of northern New Jersey. Early factories and textile mills drew workers to the site, establishing an economy rooted in the strength of immigrant ambition and steady production. The legacy of these industries persists in the brick facades and functional infrastructure that still support local businesses today. Residents often look toward the nearby Passaic Falls for a reminder of the raw power that once fueled the region’s development, recognizing that the current economy relies on a different, more modern rhythm. Commerce here moves with the deliberate pace of a freight train, echoing the grit and pragmatism of the generations that built the place from the ground up.

Garfield maintains a distinct cultural identity forged by the overlapping stories of families who have called these streets their own for decades. Bellmont Park serves as a central gathering space where the textures of daily life—the sound of children playing or the quiet observation of a neighbor—become the true landmarks of the area. While the town does not claim the sprawling fame of major metropolitan centers, it has nurtured individuals like the iconic comedian Joe Piscopo, whose roots reflect the local spirit of persistence and humor. The atmosphere is marked by a deep, understated loyalty to the neighborhood, visible in the upkeep of homes and the enduring presence of local gathering spots. At dusk, the sky over the rooftops turns a soft, muted violet, casting a glow that makes the familiar streets feel entirely new.
