Explore Little Silver, 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 Little Silver, 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 Little Silver.
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.

Little Silver reveals its character through the quiet, winding path of Little Silver Creek as it makes its way toward the distant Atlantic Ocean. It lies 1.2 miles southeast of Red Bank, NJ (from Red Bank, NJ: bearing 128°T), and is situated 6.7 miles northeast of Monmouth. The landscape maintains a subtle, low-lying posture, where the presence of water defines the shifting light of the afternoon. Only a mile away, Mohawk Pond offers a reflective stillness that contrasts with the salt-tinged breeze drifting in from the coast four miles to the east. On the distant horizon, the faint silhouettes of the Mount Pleasant Hills provide a rugged boundary to an otherwise gentle terrain. Residents often find their way to Markham Playground, a local space that serves as a quiet anchor for the neighborhood.
Little Silver grew from early agricultural roots into a residential enclave that reflects the steady, industrious nature of the region. The economy here has long shifted away from the fields, favoring professional services and the commerce that flows naturally through suburban corridors. Historically, the proximity to the water shaped the movement of goods and people, grounding the development of the area in a practical, maritime-influenced heritage. Local industries remain quiet and unobtrusive, supporting a lifestyle that values stability over rapid expansion. The rhythm of daily work is punctuated by the transition of seasons, where the cool air from the Atlantic Ocean influences the pace of life in every office and storefront.
Little Silver fosters a culture defined by a deep sense of permanence and a quiet appreciation for its immediate surroundings. One might spot a local resident enjoying the shade near Markham Playground or walking the paths that lead toward the banks of Little Silver Creek. While the area is modest in its scale, it has been home to individuals of note, such as the accomplished author Peter Benchley, who once resided here and drew upon his deep familiarity with the sea. Local events often center on the school calendar and communal gatherings, reinforcing the bonds that keep neighbors connected. Whether one is watching the tide shift toward Raccoon Island or simply observing the evening shadows lengthen, the spirit of the place remains firmly rooted in its own distinct geography.

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.
