How to Use This Harrison, New Jersey Map

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

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.

Harrison rises from the flat, industrious lowlands where the gray light of dusk often clings to the industrial steel. It lies 1.1 miles northeast of Newark, NJ (from Newark, NJ: bearing 48°T), and is situated 8.2 miles west-northwest of New York. The landscape around Harrison is defined by the steady, dark flow of the Passaic River, which edges the western boundary and anchors the town to the earth. To the west, the silhouette of the First Watchung Mountain stands firm against the horizon, providing a rugged backdrop to the urban density. Local residents enjoy the quiet green spaces of Municipal Park, a small sanctuary that offers a reprieve from the rhythmic hum of the surrounding transit lines. While the open coastline of the Atlantic remains ten miles away, the air carries a faint, salt-tinged memory of the distant Wallabout Channel during the humid summer months.

Harrison grew from a foundation of iron and machine works, transforming the local economy through decades of heavy manufacturing and labor. The Morris Canal Basin, resting seven miles away, once served as a vital artery for the transport of coal and raw materials that fueled the early growth of the region. Today, the economy has shifted toward modern commercial development and transit-oriented housing, though the sturdy frame of the past remains visible in the brick facades of older warehouses. The proximity to Ellis Island, just seven miles distant, reflects the deep immigrant roots that continue to shape the workforce and the local flavor of the streets. People here labor with a focus that mirrors the persistent, unyielding current of the local river, moving forward even as the machinery of industry evolves into new forms.

Cultural life in Harrison vibrates with a diverse energy, where the scent of international kitchens fills the narrow avenues during the evening hours. Red Bull Arena stands as a prominent landmark, drawing crowds of passionate fans to witness professional soccer matches that echo across the nearby water. Residents often gather for local festivals that celebrate the varied heritage of the families who have made Harrison their home for generations. While the roar of the stadium defines the weekend, the quiet beauty of Weequahic Lake, four miles away, provides a reflective space for those seeking a slower pace. The town is the birthplace of the famous actress Dorothy Stickney, whose legacy remains a point of pride for those who appreciate the quiet, resilient spirit of the residents. Even the distant, cascading sound of Maple Falls, eight miles away, feels like a distant whisper compared to the vibrant, constant motion of daily life in the streets.
