Explore Lebanon, 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 Lebanon, 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 Lebanon.
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.

Lebanon occupies a quiet stretch of land defined by the steady, persistent flow of the South Branch Rockaway Creek. It lies 6.6 miles northeast of Hunterdon, NJ (from Hunterdon, NJ: bearing 38°T), and is situated 7.2 miles northwest of Readington. The inland terrain surrounding Lebanon consists of gentle rises and expansive fields that hold the soft, golden light of late afternoon with a particular, lingering intensity. Only a mile away, the expansive waters of Round Valley Reservoir offer a stillness that contrasts with the rhythmic movement of the nearby waterway. On the distant horizon, the silhouette of the Fox Hill Range anchors the view, providing a constant, muted backdrop to the daily cycle of the sun. The air here carries the weight of inland earth rather than the volatility of the coast, remaining crisp and grounded through the changing seasons.
Lebanon emerged from the early patterns of agricultural settlement, slowly transitioning from a rural outpost into a place where the vestiges of older trade routes still inform the layout of the streets. The local economy has long since moved past its agrarian origins, shifting toward a service-oriented framework that supports the modern needs of its residents while maintaining a modest, industrious scale. Small enterprises and professional services define the current commercial landscape, replacing the mills and heavy manufacturing that once characterized the region’s early development. Neighbors often commute to larger regional hubs, yet they return to the quiet, predictable pace that defines the local work-life balance. This economic evolution has preserved the structural integrity of the area, allowing the remnants of its history to persist alongside the quiet efficiency of contemporary life.
Cultural life in Lebanon revolves around the shared spaces that bring neighbors together, such as the Lebanon Borough Playground, which serves as a central point for weekend gatherings and civic engagement. Residents often look toward the nearby Pottersville Falls for a sense of natural wonder, or they venture out toward the regional expanse of Long Valley to experience the deeper topography of the county. While the area does not claim global icons, its character is formed by the quiet persistence of individuals who value a life centered on privacy and local connection. The rhythm of the days is marked by the changing foliage and the maintenance of personal properties, reflecting a collective dedication to the preservation of local identity. Even as the modern world presses in from the edges, the people of Lebanon maintain a focus on the immediate, tangible reality of their own backyards and the enduring presence of the 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.
