Explore Lyndhurst, 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 Lyndhurst, 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 Lyndhurst.
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.

Lyndhurst occupies a landscape where the heavy, humid breath of the lowlands meets the hard edges of industrial transit. It lies 1.4 miles southwest of Rutherford, NJ (from Rutherford, NJ: bearing 223°T), and is situated 9.2 miles northwest of New York. Yantacaw Pond serves as a quiet, reflective mirror to the sky, offering a brief respite from the constant hum of the nearby Passaic River. To the west, the First Watchung Mountain stands as a distant, hazy silhouette that defines the horizon when the evening light begins to fail. The atmosphere here carries the scent of damp earth and cooling asphalt, a reminder of the proximity to the moisture of the distant Bushwick Inlet. Even within the dense grid of streets, Town Hall Park provides a small, contained space where the wind shifts through the trees with a sudden, sharp clarity.
Lyndhurst emerged from the steady expansion of regional trade, finding its footing as the labor of the surrounding basin gave shape to a working population. The economic pulse of the area has long been tied to the movement of goods, drawing strength from the proximity to the Morris Canal Basin and the transit corridors that stitch the region together. Small workshops and logistics hubs continue to populate the industrial zones, maintaining a heritage of hands-on production that resists the total abstraction of the modern economy. The rhythm of daily life is dictated by the steady flow of commuters and the persistent, low-frequency vibration of freight moving through the periphery. Generations of families have anchored their lives here, finding stability in the persistent, functional nature of the local workforce.
Lyndhurst possesses a cultural character built upon the endurance of its residents and a quiet pride in its modest, brick-lined streets. Notable figures such as the legendary baseball player Joe DiMaggio once graced the local landscape, leaving a flicker of national recognition upon the suburban quiet. The Morris Canal Basin reminds visitors of the sophisticated engineering that once fueled the growth of the entire region, while the distant, rushing water of Passaic Falls provides a dramatic contrast to the stillness of local afternoons. Community gatherings often center on the simple rituals of the calendar, grounding the collective identity in shared experiences rather than grand monuments. Looking toward the horizon, one might catch a glimpse of the history embodied by the proximity of Ellis Island, a silent sentinel that has watched over the movement of millions. This place remains a collection of lives lived in the shadow of larger forces, each day unfolding with a deliberate, unadorned honesty.

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.
