Explore Livingston, 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 Livingston, 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 Livingston.
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.

Livingston occupies a verdant expanse of inland terrain defined by the quiet persistence of the Canoe Brook as it winds through the local landscape. It lies 2.6 miles west of Essex, NJ (from Essex, NJ: bearing 272°T), and is situated 9.5 miles north of Union County.
The Canoe Brook offers a sanctuary of preserved greenery that anchors the daily rhythms of the residents. To the west, the silhouette of the First Watchung Mountain rises against the sky, providing a firm boundary to the horizon. The landscape remains defined by its gentle elevation changes rather than dramatic peaks, creating a sense of grounded continuity. Residents often look toward the nearby Commonwealth Water Company Reservoir Number Three, where the light catches the surface in the late afternoon. Four miles away, the waters of Maple Falls provide a singular, rhythmic punctuation to the surrounding woods.
Livingston traces its lineage back to early agrarian roots, eventually evolving into a robust hub of suburban commerce and professional enterprise. The local economy has shifted from the labor of the soil to a diversified landscape of corporate offices, specialized medical services, and retail corridors. This transition reflects a broader regional capacity for adaptation, where the quiet diligence of the past informs the industrious pace of modern business. Many inhabitants find their professional lives integrated into the dense network of regional trade that characterizes this sector of the state. The infrastructure of the area supports a steady flow of commerce, maintaining a standard of living that favors both stability and growth.
Livingston maintains a distinct cultural character that values academic excellence and a quiet, deliberate pace of life. The Oval serves as a central gathering space for the community, hosting seasonal events that bring neighbors together under the changing foliage. Notable figures such as the actress Chelsea Handler and the musician Jason Alexander emerged from the local environment, carrying the influence of their upbringing into the wider world. Educational institutions here are frequently recognized for their rigor, reflecting a broader regional commitment to intellectual development. Throughout the year, the atmosphere remains steady, marked by the simple beauty of the changing seasons as they settle over the streets and common grounds.

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.
