How to Use This Middle, New Jersey Map

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

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 Middle, New Jersey

Middle is a locality in Cape May County, New Jersey, United States. It has a population of 19,400. The population density is 95.0 people per km². Middle is located at 39.0875°N, 74.8187°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 08210.

Middle occupies a low-lying stretch of land where the persistent flow of Crooked Creek carves a path toward the nearby Atlantic Ocean. It lies 9.8 miles north-northeast of Lower, NJ (from Lower, NJ: bearing 32°T), and is situated 7.6 miles east-northeast of Villas. The horizon remains largely flat and open, occasionally interrupted by the distant silhouette of Cabin Ridge visible on the clearest days. Water defines the edges of the landscape, with the protected expanse of the Cape May Coastal Wetlands Wildlife Management Area providing a sanctuary for migratory birds and native grasses. Pennsylvania Ponds sit quietly three miles away, offering a still counterpoint to the salt-tinged breeze that drifts in from the coast. To the east, Gull Island rises from the marshes, a small patch of earth that shifts slightly with the turning of the tides.

Middle maintains a history rooted in the rhythmic cycles of the soil and the seasonal demands of the local economy. Agriculture and small-scale manufacturing have long formed the backbone of the region, evolving alongside the changing needs of the state. The proximity to the marshes and the fertile earth of Poor House Flat encouraged early settlement, where families learned to work the heavy, nutrient-rich ground. Today, the local industry remains tethered to these traditions, balancing modern commerce with the older, slower patterns of regional trade. Workers often travel toward the busier corridors of the state, though the local spirit remains anchored in the quiet persistence of the land itself.

Middle fosters a cultural character defined by a profound awareness of the changing seasons and the muted light that settles over the wetlands at dusk. While the pace of life reflects the steady, unpretentious nature of the region, the community maintains a deep connection to the natural world just beyond its doorstep. Visitors might observe the way the light catches the reeds near the wildlife management area, revealing a stark, quiet beauty that persists regardless of the decade. Though the area remains modest in its public profile, it stands as a testament to the endurance of those who choose to live away from the crowded centers. Residents take pride in the simple, honest geography that surrounds them, finding a distinct sense of place in the transition between the forest and the sea.

About This Middle Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Middle, New Jersey. Coordinates: 39.087456, -74.818683. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Middle includes the ZIP code (08210), telephone area code (609, 640), county seat of Cape May County (Middle Township), and school district assignment.

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.
