How to Use This Hampton, New Jersey Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Hampton, 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 Hampton.
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.

About Hampton, New Jersey
Hampton is a locality in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,438. The population density is 368.9 people per km². Hampton is located at 40.7046°N, 74.9715°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. Hampton is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 08827.Hampton defines itself through the steady, low-slung rhythm of the earth, where the Alpaugh Brook carves a persistent path through the local topography. It lies 9.9 miles north-northwest of Hunterdon, NJ (from Hunterdon, NJ: bearing 347°T), and is situated 3.8 miles south-southeast of Washington. The air here holds a crisp, terrestrial weight, devoid of any salt-heavy breeze, carrying instead the scent of damp loam and cooling minerals from the nearby Jackson Valley. On the horizon, the faint, jagged silhouette of the Fox Hill Range offers a silent boundary to the west, while the landscape closer to home shifts between dense thickets and clearings reclaimed by the morning frost. At the center of this quiet expanse, Hampton Borough Park serves as a communal anchor, providing a sliver of maintained green space where the light at dusk settles in long, bruised purples over the dormant grass.
Industry in Hampton retains the echoes of an older, industrial pulse, having grown from the heavy work of iron and rail that once dictated the movement of goods through these inland corridors. While the economy has transitioned into a quieter, more modern domesticity, the structural bones of the place remain, marked by the steady transit of those who move between the small-town stillness and the wider world beyond. Life proceeds with a deliberate pace, anchored by the proximity of Spruce Run Reservoir, which mirrors the gray, shifting skies of the mid-Atlantic interior. The legacy of the region persists not in grand monuments, but in the way the residents navigate the intersection of a demanding history and the persistent, quiet cycles of the seasons.

About This Hampton Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hampton, New Jersey. Coordinates: 40.70457, -74.971525. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Hampton includes the ZIP code (08827), telephone area code (908), county seat of Hunterdon County (Flemington), and school district assignment (Hampton Borough School District).
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.
