How to Use This New Vernon, New Jersey Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for New Vernon, 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 New Vernon.
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.

ZIP codes: 07960, 07976.New Vernon occupies a quiet expanse of land where the horizon is defined by the silhouette of Mount Kemble, rising two miles away to break the flat regularity of the surrounding terrain. It lies 3.6 miles south-southwest of Morristown, NJ (from Morristown, NJ: bearing 193°T), and is situated 9.0 miles north-northwest of Plainfield. Great Brook meanders through the landscape just one mile from the center, its steady movement providing a soft, percussive rhythm to the low-lying fields and wooded corridors that shape the local geography. Within the immediate vicinity, the quiet grounds of Bayne Park offer a patch of managed green space, serving as a focal point for the stillness that settles over the area when the sun dips behind the western ridges. The air here holds a crisp, inland quality, devoid of any moisture from distant reaches, leaving the light to fall clear and sharp across the earth as evening approaches.
History in New Vernon echoes through the preservation of its rural character, long ago transitioned from early agricultural roots to a sanctuary for those seeking distance from the frenetic pace of larger centers. The local economy persists as a blend of professional life and quiet stewardship, where the inhabitants value the maintenance of the land over rapid commercial expansion. While the distant, cascading waters of Buttermilk Falls lie seven miles away and the waters of Powder Mill Pond sit eight miles out, the community remains anchored by its own immediate, modest topography. Daily life here moves with a deliberate, measured cadence, reflecting a collective preference for the stability found in these woods and the enduring, unadorned presence of the landscape.

About This New Vernon Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of New Vernon, New Jersey. Coordinates: 40.738889, -74.480459. 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 New Vernon includes the ZIP code (07960, 07976), telephone area code (908), county seat of Morris County (Morristown), and school district assignment (Harding Township 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.
