Explore Landing, 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 Landing, 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 Landing.
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.

Landing occupies a space where the dense, humdrum rhythm of suburban life gives way to the stillness of a glacial basin. It lies 1.9 miles south of Hopatcong, NJ (from Hopatcong, NJ: bearing 189°T), and is situated 5.1 miles northeast of Mount Olive. The terrain around Landing is defined by the expansive presence of Lake Hopatcong, whose waters act as a mirror for the shifting, bruised purples of a late-autumn sky. To the west, the land rises in subtle, rhythmic folds, eventually leading the eye toward the distant silhouettes of the Kittatinny Mountains that sharpen the horizon line. Only a mile away, the Musconetcong River carves a quiet, persistent path through the underbrush, drawing moisture from the surrounding woodland and keeping the soil perpetually cool beneath a canopy of oak and maple.
Economic life in Landing remains tethered to the historic transition from an industrial corridor to a commuter’s threshold, shaped by the legacy of canals and rail lines that once moved goods through the Succasunna Plains. Hopatcong State Park serves as the primary anchor for the locality, preserving a fragment of the wild where the echoes of nineteenth-century commerce have long since faded into the sound of wind moving through trees. Thirteen miles to the west, the dense, shadowed thickets of Jenny Jump State Forest stand as a reminder of the rugged, untamed geology that persists just beyond the reach of the local grid. In the quiet hours of the morning, the air in Landing carries a faint, sharp scent of damp earth and cooling asphalt, marking the transition of a place that finds its character in the steady, unremarkable persistence of the inland landscape.

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.
