Explore Hackettstown, 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 Hackettstown, 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 Hackettstown.
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.

Hackettstown reveals itself through the steady, insistent movement of Hackery Brook as it carves a path through the landscape. It lies 5.0 miles west of Mount Olive, NJ (from Mount Olive, NJ: bearing 272°T), and is situated 9.6 miles west of Roxbury. The surrounding terrain is defined by its inland position, far removed from the coast, where the ground rises into gentle slopes that eventually look toward the distant Kittatinny Mountains on the horizon. Residents often find quiet in the proximity of Mine Hill Reservoir, which sits only two miles from the center of activity. To the west, the expansive greenery of Jenny Jump State Forest offers a contrast to the local fields, while the nearby German Valley provides a deep, natural basin that anchors the region. The air here holds a crisp, terrestrial weight, especially at dusk when the shadows stretch long across the open, fertile earth of Hackettstown.
Hackettstown grew from a settlement built upon the necessity of trade and the strength of the surrounding soil. Early industry relied on the natural resources of the area, transitioning over time from milling and agriculture to the more complex manufacturing processes that define the modern economy. Today, the town maintains a steady industrial pulse, balancing smaller enterprises with larger operations that provide consistent employment for the workforce. The rhythm of daily life is dictated by these local industries, which have long shaped the architecture and the practical character of the streets. Hackettstown serves as a primary hub for those living in the immediate vicinity, functioning as a point of stability where the labor of the past still informs the commerce of the present.
Cultural life in Hackettstown finds its expression in the active spaces of the Hackettstown Rec Center, where the community gathers for recreation and local events. The town possesses a distinct, unpretentious character shaped by its academic and professional residents, including notable individuals like the educator and author William Feeney, who left a lasting impression on the local intellectual environment. Landmarks are marked by a blend of historic brick facades and modern facilities that honor the town's longevity without relying on artifice. Throughout the year, seasonal gatherings bring a specific vibrancy to the public squares, emphasizing the connections between long-term inhabitants and newcomers alike. This place remains a quiet study in consistency, where the focus stays on the immediate, tangible elements of the environment and the people who inhabit it.

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.
