How to Use This High Bridge, New Jersey Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for High Bridge, 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 High Bridge.
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 High Bridge, New Jersey
High Bridge is a locality in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,546. The population density is 572.6 people per km². High Bridge is located at 40.6670°N, 74.8957°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. High Bridge is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 08829.High Bridge occupies a rugged expanse of terrain where the South Branch Raritan River carves a persistent, winding path through the darkened stone of the landscape. It lies 7.0 miles north of Hunterdon, NJ (from Hunterdon, NJ: bearing 8°T), and is situated 7.7 miles southeast of Washington. This waterway dictates the rhythm of the local topography, pushing past the shadow of Mount Kipp and moving toward the quiet basin of Long Valley. The air here holds a crisp, terrestrial weight, devoid of any maritime influence, settling instead over the iron-rich soil that defines the earth. At the center of the terrain, Mini Park provides a small, human-scaled clearing amidst the dense woodland, while the waters of Spruce Run Reservoir sit just a mile away, reflecting the pale, shifting light of the inland sky.
High Bridge grew from the strength of its subterranean resources, transforming from a site of early iron production into a settlement defined by the labor of the furnace and the forge. The economy, once tethered to the rhythmic output of local ore, has shifted, yet the architectural bones of the nineteenth century remain etched into the streetscape, marking the transition from industrial grit to a slower, contemporary pace. Residents move through a geography shaped by the legacy of the foundry, where the influence of the river remains a constant, moving force against the quietude of the surrounding hills. The character of High Bridge persists in this balance, a place where the memory of heavy industry fades into the steady, unadorned movement of daily life.

About This High Bridge Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of High Bridge, New Jersey. Coordinates: 40.667045, -74.895723. 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 High Bridge includes the ZIP code (08829), telephone area code (908), county seat of Hunterdon County (Flemington), and school district assignment (High Bridge 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.
