Explore Haskell, 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 Haskell, 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 Haskell.
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.

Haskell maintains a grounded presence where the persistent flow of Posts Brook shapes the immediate terrain. The landscape surrounding Haskell is defined by the proximity of the Wanaque Reservoir, which holds a quiet stillness just a mile away, and the expansive greenery of Ramapo Mountain State Forest. To the west, the distant Kittatinny Mountains rise as a jagged silhouette against the horizon, providing a permanent backdrop to the inland geography. The ground near Washington Lake offers a modest, local expanse of natural space, while the broader Pompton Plains stretch out five miles away as a reminder of the region’s geological depth. Sunlight often catches the surface of the waterways here, turning the water a deep, muted silver as the day fades into evening.
Haskell carries the weight of its industrial heritage, having long served as a vital center for the production of explosives that fueled regional development. This history of manufacturing left a permanent mark on the local economy, transitioning over time from heavy production to a diverse array of professional and service-oriented trades. The rhythm of daily life in Haskell reflects a sturdy, working-class resilience that has evolved alongside the shifting demands of the modern economy. Small businesses and neighborhood enterprises now occupy the spaces where older, larger factories once defined the skyline. The community remains tethered to these roots, balancing a memory of intensive labor with the quieter pace of contemporary suburban life.
Cultural character in Haskell is defined by a sense of shared belonging and a respect for the surrounding woodland environment. Residents often gravitate toward the outdoors, seeking the quiet trails that wind through the local landscape, though they must travel seven miles to reach the established paths of the Cannonball Trail. While the area is not defined by grand monuments, the modest presence of Washington Lake serves as a frequent gathering point for those who value the intersection of community and wilder, unmanicured spaces. The air here holds a crisp, earthen quality, especially during the transition of seasons when the foliage turns deep shades of amber and gold. Life in Haskell moves with a measured cadence, favoring the comfort of familiar streets and the steady reliability of a place that understands its own quiet importance.

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.
