Explore Monmouth, 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 Monmouth, 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 Monmouth.
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.

Monmouth holds a quiet permanence upon the earth, defined by a landscape where the subtle rise of Lippincort Hill anchors the horizon. It lies 3.2 miles southeast of Colts Neck, NJ (from Colts Neck, NJ: bearing 128°T), and is situated 4.5 miles west of Ocean. The terrain shifts from suburban patches of green into the low, hushed movement of Hockhockson Brook, which carves a modest path through the soil only a mile away. Though the horizon remains grounded in local topography, the influence of the Atlantic Ocean, resting seven miles to the east, permeates the air with a faint, salt-heavy dampness that clings to the evening light. Further inland, the Swimming River Reservoir offers a still, reflective surface three miles out, providing a cool contrast to the steady, rhythmic expansion of the surrounding meadows and residential lanes.
Founders of Monmouth looked to the surrounding fields and proximity to early trade routes to establish a foothold that would eventually blossom from modest agricultural beginnings into a more complex, structured reality. The early years were defined by the slow, deliberate labor of clearing land and establishing the connections that would link these disparate plots into a cohesive identity. Over generations, the footprint of Monmouth expanded, absorbing the lessons of its own development as it transformed from a scattering of homesteads into a place that balances its deep-rooted past with the persistent, forward-moving pressure of modern expansion. The architecture of the older streets still whispers of those formative times, holding onto the brick and timber echoes of a period when the pace of life was dictated by the sun and the season.
Monmouth supports a modern economy that draws its strength from a diverse mix of professional services, specialized industries, and the reliable flow of regional commerce. Infrastructure in Monmouth is designed to handle the daily migration of its workforce, with roads that act as the arteries for a population that balances local labor with the broader economic reach of the state. Education remains a cornerstone of the regional character, as nearby institutions provide a steady stream of intellectual capital and community engagement that keeps the local outlook sharp. The presence of Shark River Park, a short distance away, serves as a vital patch of preserved wilderness, offering a necessary expanse of natural ground for those who work and study within the organized, bustling grids of the area.
Culture in Monmouth is defined by a shared attachment to the seasonal cycles of the coast and the high-energy pulse of regional athletics. While residents often look toward the broader orbit of major professional leagues, there is a distinct pride in the local school sports that draw families to the sidelines on crisp autumn evenings. The proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and the distant Shark River Island informs the weekend habits of many, who favor the quiet solitude of the shoreline over the dense, gray-toned activity of the work week. Landmarks throughout the region serve as touchstones for the community, grounding the collective memory in physical spaces that endure long after the festivals and annual celebrations have concluded for the year.

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.
