How to Use This Ledgewood, New Jersey Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Ledgewood, 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 Ledgewood.

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.

Ledgewood occupies a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of Drakes Brook, which cuts a narrow path through the terrain.

The water of Drakes Brook provides a constant, low-frequency hum that anchors the atmosphere of Ledgewood against the shifting light of the afternoon. To the west, the distant Kittatinny Mountains rise in a soft, bruised purple against the horizon, serving as a silent boundary to the wider world. Closer at hand, the terrain flattens into the Succasunna Plains, an expanse that feels expansive and deliberate under the vast New Jersey sky. Ledgewood Pond remains a still, reflective presence, holding the mirror of the clouds near the center of the local geography. Beyond the developed corridors, the High Bridge Branch River Greenway offers a preserved corridor of earth and vegetation that invites a slower pace of movement.

Ledgewood evolved from a landscape of raw resource extraction into a modern center of commerce and transit. The iron and rail industries once dictated the rhythm of labor here, leaving behind a legacy of industriousness that still informs the local character. Today, the economy of Ledgewood relies on a diverse base of retail and professional services that occupy the land where tracks and mills previously stood. The proximity to regional transit hubs ensures that the flow of goods and people remains a permanent feature of the daily cycle. Residents recognize the value of this industrious heritage, which continues to shape the way the neighborhood organizes its growth. As the seasons change, the transition from industrial past to suburban present remains a subtle, ongoing process of renewal.

Cultural life in Ledgewood finds its expression in the quiet gathering of neighbors and the shared rituals of the calendar year. Public spaces like the High Bridge Branch River Greenway host the occasional local event, providing a neutral ground for the community to assemble away from the bustle of the main roads. While the area avoids the clamor of larger metropolitan centers, it maintains a distinct identity grounded in its specific geography and history. The proximity to the expansive Jenny Jump State Forest offers a necessary wildness, a reminder of the dense, complicated state that surrounds these borders. Notable individuals, such as the actor and comedian Joe Piscopo, have roots in the surrounding region, lending a flicker of external recognition to the local narrative. Life here moves with a steady, unadorned momentum that favors the practical over the performative.

About This Ledgewood Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ledgewood, New Jersey. Coordinates: 40.883268, -74.668029. 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 Ledgewood includes the ZIP code (07852), telephone area code (732, 848), county seat of Morris County (Morristown), and school district assignment (Roxbury Township 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.
