Explore North Arlington, 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 North Arlington, 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 North Arlington.
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.

North Arlington occupies a distinct position on the edge of the meadowlands where the rhythm of urban life meets the quiet persistence of the natural world. It lies 2.7 miles west-northwest of Bridgewater, NJ (from Bridgewater, NJ: bearing 283°T), and is situated 7.3 miles north-northwest of Hamilton. The landscape is defined by the winding presence of the Passaic River just a mile away, which serves as a constant reminder of the region's fluid boundaries. To the west, the First Watchung Mountain rises on the horizon, catching the low-hanging amber light of late afternoon. Residents often find solace in the open spaces of North Arlington Borough 1, a local park that anchors the neighborhood with its calm, green expanse. Though the nearest open coastline remains ten miles distant, the air here carries a faint, salt-tinged memory of the atmosphere toward Bushwick Inlet.
North Arlington carries the weight of a history rooted in the grit of industrial transition and the steady labor of generations. The local economy grew from the necessity of these regional veins, finding purpose in the manufacturing and commerce that once defined the surrounding basins. While the heavy machinery of the past has largely receded, the industrious spirit remains embedded in the character of the streets. The Morris Canal Basin, seven miles away, once facilitated the movement of goods that built the foundations of this place. Today, the economy leans into a suburban vitality, balancing a quiet residential existence with the demands of a modern workforce. Even with the passage of time, the echoes of the area's development continue to shape the way commerce and daily life unfold.
North Arlington maintains a cultural identity shaped by the diverse threads of those who have made it their home. The quiet dignity of the streets is punctuated by the presence of landmarks that offer a sense of continuity in a rapidly changing world. Visitors might look toward the distant silhouettes of Ellis Island or seek the cooling mist of Passaic Falls, which lies nine miles away, to find a connection to the broader geography of the region. The community takes pride in its steady character, where the pace is marked by the cycles of the seasons rather than the frantic tempo of the nearby metropolis. Notable individuals like the journalist and television host Connie Chung have spent time within the orbit of this region, reflecting the area's place in the larger American narrative. Life here moves with a deliberate, grounded grace that honors the traditions of the past while looking toward the horizon.

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.
