How to Use This Highland Park, New Jersey Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Highland Park, 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 Highland Park.
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 Highland Park, New Jersey
Highland Park is a locality in Camden County, New Jersey, United States. It has a population of 15,072. The population density is 3195.7 people per km². Highland Park is located at 40.5008°N, 74.4279°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. Highland Park is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 08030.Highland Park occupies a modest, elevated plateau that rises above the surrounding terrain, defined by the quiet passage of the South Branch Newton Creek. The air here holds a distinct, inland dryness, far removed from the brackish dampness of the distant coast, and the light at dusk settles in long, amber slats across the residential streets. Directly adjacent to the domestic geometry of the grid lies Johnson Park, an expanse of preserved green space that softens the transition between the built environment and the natural landscape. In the distance, the silhouette of Lemon Hill breaks the horizon, a singular point of interest in a region otherwise characterized by the subtle, persistent undulations of the inland plains.
Development in Highland Park reflects a layered history of mid-Atlantic settlement, where the proximity to regional transit arteries has long influenced its economic pulse. The local character is shaped by a dense, walkable rhythm, where the architecture of earlier eras sits comfortably beside modern infrastructure, supporting a stable, professional population that values its quietude. While Hopkins Pond remains a distant reference point four miles away, the community maintains its own internal focus, often oriented toward the nearby academic and commercial centers that provide the primary vitality for the region. Life in Highland Park is marked by a deliberate, steady pace, where the seasonal change of foliage provides a visual clock for the residents who navigate the shade-dappled lanes each day.

About This Highland Park Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Highland Park, New Jersey. Coordinates: 40.500795, -74.427911. 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 Highland Park includes the ZIP code (08030), telephone area code (856, 609), county seat of Camden County (Camden), and school district assignment (Highland Park 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.
