Explore Jefferson, 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 Jefferson, 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 Jefferson.
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.

Jefferson displays a terrain defined by the quiet persistence of inland woodlands and the subtle elevation changes of the regional landscape. It lies 2.9 miles south-southeast of East Greenwich, NJ (from East Greenwich, NJ: bearing 151°T), and is situated 6.3 miles west-northwest of Gloucester. The earth here holds a certain weight, grounding the traveler in a space far removed from any coastline. Gentle slopes define the horizon, leading the eye toward the distant South Valley Hills that mark the edge of the sky. Within the immediate borders, the tranquil waters of Mullica Hill Pond reflect the shifting colors of the canopy, while the nearby flow of Rattling Run carves a steady path through the underbrush. The air possesses a crisp, earthen quality, especially as light fades and the shadows of the trees stretch across the open ground.
Jefferson maintains a steady rhythm born from a history of industry that once leaned heavily on the extraction and processing of local resources. Over time, the economy transitioned from its early foundations into a diverse network of small businesses and suburban enterprise that sustains the population today. This shift mirrors the broader evolution of the region, where the labor of previous generations paved the way for modern commerce. The land itself, once marked by the tools of early trade, now serves as the backdrop for a more quiet, professional existence. Residents navigate a landscape where the remnants of past industry are slowly reclaimed by the encroaching forest, softening the edges of the built environment.
Jefferson fosters a cultural character rooted in the simple, deliberate pace of daily life, where the presence of Pleasant Valley Park offers a shared space for reflection and recreation. The community gathers for local events that celebrate the turning of the seasons, reinforcing bonds that remain resilient despite the rapid pace of the modern world. While the area does not claim the fame of global icons, it values the quiet contributions of those who have built their lives in these woods. Visitors might find solace in the stillness of the afternoon, when the only sound is the wind moving through the branches. The spirit of the place is found not in grand monuments, but in the enduring connection between the people and the land they call home.

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.
