How to Use This Manahawkin, New Jersey Map

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

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.

About Manahawkin, New Jersey

Manahawkin is a locality in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,413. The population density is 505.0 people per km². Manahawkin is located at 39.6899°N, 74.2427°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 08050.

Manahawkin emerges from the flat, sandy expanse of the coastal plain, defined by the quiet passage of Mill Creek as it winds toward the salt marshes. It lies 1.4 miles south-southwest of Stafford, NJ (from Stafford, NJ: bearing 202°T), and is situated 4.4 miles south-southwest of Barnegat. The landscape here holds a particular stillness, where the low-lying terrain gives way to the dark, tea-colored waters of Manahawkin Lake, a mirror for the towering pines that stand guard along its banks. On clear days, the horizon toward the Atlantic Ocean feels close enough to invite the scent of brine into the humid air, while the dense, scrubby woodlands provide a buffer against the wider world. A Paul King Park offers a sanctuary of open grass and managed paths, grounding the local geography in a space where the earth feels soft, damp, and ancient.

History in Manahawkin lingers in the intersection of old transit routes and the persistent pulse of the nearby coast, serving as a gateway for travelers moving between the inland woods and the barrier islands. The economy has shifted from the early reliance on timber and bog iron to a modern rhythm of service and trade, reflecting the practical needs of a population balanced between the quiet of the pines and the seasonal influx of visitors heading toward Thorofare Island. Despite the encroachment of modern development, the silence of the Bass River State Forest remains a short drive away, and the distant, hazy silhouette of Sandy Ridge offers a rare elevation to a region otherwise content to remain level with the sea. Life here moves with the tide, a steady, unadorned endurance that persists long after the summer crowds have retreated to the cities.
