Explore Medford, 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 Medford, 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 Medford.
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.

Medford maintains a quiet presence upon the flat, inland plains of southern New Jersey, defined by the steady, dark flow of Sharps Run as it winds through the landscape. It lies 4.2 miles east-southeast of Mount Laurel, NJ (from Mount Laurel, NJ: bearing 123°T), and is situated 8.8 miles north-northeast of Jackson. The terrain here is low and unassuming, characterized by a persistent sense of distance from the bustling urban corridors that define much of the state. Oliphants Lake rests just a mile from the center, its surface often mirroring the heavy, gray clouds that drift in from the west. To the southeast, the horizon hints at the vast, dense expanse of Wharton State Forest, which exerts a subtle, wild influence on the local atmosphere. On clear days, the distant silhouette of Sandy Ridge offers a faint, jagged reminder of the earth’s varied elevation far beyond these level, wooded fields.
Medford traces its origins to early colonial settlement, where the land was shaped by the needs of agriculture and the water-powered mills that once utilized the local streams. The economy has transitioned over time from a reliance on the soil to a diverse mix of small businesses and professional services that support the modern resident. Industrial activity remains modest, favoring specialized trade and local commerce over the heavy manufacturing of the past. Residents often move through their days with a focus on the immediate neighborhood, where the pace is set by the changing light rather than the frantic demands of a city. The quiet industry of the region allows for a deliberate lifestyle, grounded in the maintenance of historic properties and the careful preservation of the local landscape.
Medford Village Park serves as the primary communal gathering space, providing a central point where the rhythm of the day slows to a human scale. This location retains a distinct cultural character that values the preservation of its older architecture, particularly along the streets that retain a modest, nineteenth-century aesthetic. Local events throughout the year emphasize a connection to the changing seasons, drawing people out into the cooling air of autumn or the humid, vibrant growth of late spring. While the area is largely defined by its own internal social currents, it has been the home of individuals like the singer Christina Grimmie, whose artistic contributions remain a point of quiet recognition for many. The life of the place is marked by these small, persistent connections, creating a stable environment where the weight of history is felt in the simple, everyday maintenance of the streets.

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.
