How to Use This Milltown, New Jersey Map

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

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 Milltown, New Jersey

Milltown is located at 40.4502°N, 74.4348°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. Milltown is an incorporated locality. ZIP codes: 08098, 07081, 08850.

Milltown sustains its quiet character through the steady, patient flow of the Salem River, which traces a winding path through the local landscape. It lies 7.4 miles south-southeast of Woolwich, NJ (from Woolwich, NJ: bearing 163°T), and is situated 9.0 miles south-southwest of Jefferson. The terrain here is defined by a subtle, inland topography where the earth shifts from level ground into gentle, wooded rises that anchor the horizon. At the center of this terrain, Avis Millpond holds the sky in its glass-still surface, reflecting the changing light of the seasons as it serves as a cooling focal point for the surrounding acreage. Residents often seek the shaded pathways of Camp Crockett Park, where the dense canopy provides a sanctuary from the bustle of the nearby corridors. On clear days, the distant silhouette of Cabin Ridge rises against the western sky, a reminder of the elevation that defines the broader region far beyond these local plains.

Milltown carries the weight of a long industrial legacy, having evolved from early milling operations that harnessed the local water power into a modern residential enclave. This economic transition has left a mark on the local architecture, where modest, sturdy structures stand as quiet witnesses to generations of labor and steady growth. While the pulse of the local economy has shifted toward professional services and suburban commerce, the rhythm of daily life remains tethered to the history of those early enterprises. The legacy of these roots persists in the way the local streets organize themselves, favoring a pattern that respects the older, established boundaries of the land. Even as modern life moves forward, the residents maintain a connection to the stillness of the interior, where the influence of the distant Red Lion State Forest suggests a vast, untamed wilderness waiting just past the reach of the paved roads.

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.
