Explore Haledon, 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 Haledon, 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 Haledon.
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.

Haledon emerges from the landscape as a place defined by the steady, rhythmic passage of the Molly Ann Brook. It lies 1.5 miles north-northwest of Paterson, NJ (from Paterson, NJ: bearing 330°T), and is situated 5.5 miles north-northwest of Clifton. The terrain rises toward the Second Watchung Mountain, which anchors the western horizon in a heavy, basalt-strewn silhouette. Residents often walk the quiet perimeter of Oldham Pond, where the water catches the muted gray light of early spring. Though the region feels grounded in its inland topography, one senses the proximity of the coast, as the air occasionally carries a faint, salt-tinged weight that travels inland from the direction of Wallington Reach. The nearby Preakness Valley offers a slight, verdant dip in the earth, separating the suburban density from the wilder, wooded reaches of Ramapo Mountain State Forest.
Haledon traces its industrial roots to the era of silk mills, when the clatter of machinery defined the local economy and drew laborers from across the Atlantic. These early manufacturing ventures transformed the landscape, leaving behind a legacy of brick structures that now house a shifting, modern service-oriented economy. The town maintains a utilitarian character, shaped by the hard-working ethos of those who first harnessed the nearby water power. While the mills have largely quieted, the architecture remains a persistent reminder of a time when the labor of the hands dictated the pulse of the streets. Haledon continues to balance these echoes of the past with the practical demands of current commerce and residential life.
Cultural life in Haledon finds its primary expression in the shared spaces of Roe Athletic/Braen Memorial, where the community gathers to mark the changing seasons. The sight of the water cascading over the rocks at Passaic Falls serves as a natural monument that draws observers to its turbulent, churning energy. Among the figures associated with the broader regional heritage, the labor activist and orator Elizabeth Gurley Flynn famously spent time in this vicinity, leaving a mark on the local historical identity. Life here moves with a specific, purposeful cadence, where the morning commute often feels like an extension of the state's broader, complex narrative. Haledon preserves its personality through these intersections of public memory, industrial grit, and the quiet beauty of its natural surroundings.

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.
