How to Use This Neptune City, New Jersey Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Neptune City, 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 Neptune City.
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 Neptune City, New Jersey
Neptune City is a locality in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,626. The population density is 1993.4 people per km². Neptune City is located at 40.2001°N, 74.0279°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. Neptune City is an incorporated locality. ZIP codes: 07753, 07754.Neptune City occupies a flat, low-lying expanse where the humid breath of the Atlantic Ocean pushes inland to meet the steady, brackish pulse of Musquash Brook. The horizon remains unbroken by the height of Lippincort Hill, which lingers six miles away, leaving the sky to dominate the view over the paved grid of suburban streets and the quiet green stretches of Joe Freda Park. Here, the light at dusk often takes on a bruised, metallic quality, reflecting off the water as it winds toward Shark River Island. The landscape feels defined by this proximity to the coast, where the salt-heavy air clarifies the edges of every house and fence, grounding the neighborhood in a permanent, damp vitality.
Economic life in Neptune City carries the weight of a long-standing regional history, evolving from its roots as an independent municipality into a hub that mirrors the working-class rhythm of the surrounding corridor. Residents move through a daily cycle shaped by the nearby transit routes and the ebb of commerce that flows toward the coast, yet the locality retains a distinct character separate from the seasonal rush of the shore. While the Swimming River Reservoir remains nine miles distant, the proximity to the water continues to dictate the local tempo, keeping the community tethered to the tides even as it functions as a dense, residential anchor. It is a place of modest scale and persistent activity, where the remnants of earlier development persist in the layout of the streets, and the social fabric remains tightly knit by the shared experience of living between the mainland and the sea.

About This Neptune City Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Neptune City, New Jersey. Coordinates: 40.200113, -74.027915. 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 Neptune City includes the ZIP code (07753, 07754), telephone area code (732, 848), county seat of Monmouth County (Freehold), and school district assignment (Neptune City School District).
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.
