Explore Kinnelon, 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 Kinnelon, 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 Kinnelon.
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.

Kinnelon occupies a rugged expanse of northern terrain where the topography is defined by deep woodlands and uneven, rocky ground. It lies 4.0 miles west of Pompton Lakes, NJ (from Pompton Lakes, NJ: bearing 266°T), and is situated 7.1 miles northwest of Wayne. Stone House Brook cuts a quiet path through the terrain, providing a consistent, rhythmic sound that accompanies the local wildlife. To the north, the vast expanse of Norvin Green State Forest offers a dense canopy that cools the air during the height of summer. On the horizon, the distant Kittatinny Mountains rise in shades of hazy violet, marking the boundary of the regional landscape. Maple Lake serves as a local focal point for reflection, its surface often catching the amber light of a late afternoon sun.
Kinnelon emerged from a history rooted in iron production and industrial experimentation during the nineteenth century. The local economy has long since shifted away from those heavy extraction efforts toward a professional, residential character that values privacy and space. While the iron furnaces have cooled, the remnants of that era persist in the layout of the land and the quiet remnants of old mining infrastructure. Residents today participate in a regional economy that relies on professional services, reflecting a transition from raw industry to a modern, service-oriented stability. The transition from a site of intense labor to one of deliberate quietude defines the character of the property owners who maintain the wooded estates found throughout Kinnelon.
Cultural life in Kinnelon remains private, favoring the seclusion of the forest over the bustling activity of larger urban centers. The community gathers for local events that emphasize the natural environment, often centered around the preservation of the landscape that defines the region. Notable landmarks include the historic Smoke Rise area, which preserves a sense of architectural continuity that many residents strive to protect. While the region is not typically associated with celebrity, individuals such as the author Mary Higgins Clark have lived in the vicinity, finding inspiration in the quiet isolation of the woods. The pace of daily life is measured by the change of seasons, from the vibrant greens of spring to the stark, skeletal beauty of the trees in winter.

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.
