Explore Lincroft, 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 Lincroft, 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 Lincroft.
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.

Lincroft emerges from the flat, verdant landscape of Monmouth County as a place defined by its quiet transition between inland woods and the distant, salty influence of the Atlantic Ocean. It lies 2.1 miles north-northwest of Tinton Falls, NJ (from Tinton Falls, NJ: bearing 329°T), and is situated 5.0 miles north of Monmouth. The terrain here holds a subtle, patient stillness, anchored by the presence of the Swimming River that flows just a short distance away. To the west, the subtle rise of the Mount Pleasant Hills creates a soft horizon line that breaks the monotony of the coastal plain. Residents often walk through the nearby Middletown Township Wooded Lot, where the light filters through the canopy in long, amber shafts during the late afternoon. Even the Swimming River Reservoir adds a reflective, glass-like clarity to the local geography, mirroring the changing colors of the sky as day turns toward dusk.
Lincroft retains a character shaped by its evolution from colonial agricultural roots into a modern suburban space where the pace of life remains steady and industrious. While the local economy is largely integrated into the broader regional professional sector, traces of its past as a quiet farming outpost remain in the older, generous plots of land. Neighbors often share the quiet labor of maintaining gardens and properties, keeping the spirit of a working-class heritage alive in the way they care for their homes. Small businesses and professional offices dot the area, supporting a population that balances local commitment with the broader demands of the New Jersey economy. This version of Lincroft functions with a quiet efficiency, where the rhythm of the workweek is marked by the steady movement of commuters and the hum of suburban commerce.
Cultural life in Lincroft finds its focus in the educational institutions and community spaces that serve as the bedrock of local identity. Brookdale Community College stands as a primary landmark, acting as a center for intellectual pursuit and public gathering that draws many individuals from across the region. The area has seen the growth of notable figures such as the actor Danny DeVito, who spent his formative years in the vicinity, carrying the distinct energy of the region into his long career. Annual events often bring people together in the open air, celebrating the seasonal shifts that define the year in this part of the state. Lincroft maintains a grounded, unassuming personality that favors neighborly connection over grand displays, reflecting a community that values the slow accumulation of shared experience.

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.
