Explore Oak Ridge, 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 Oak Ridge, 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 Oak Ridge.
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.

Oak Ridge breathes in the damp, salt-tinged air that drifts inland from the Atlantic Ocean, its character defined by the quiet persistence of the Toms River as it carves a path through the low, sandy terrain. It lies 1.9 miles northwest of Toms River, NJ (from Toms River, NJ: bearing 314°T), and is situated 4.7 miles east of Ocean County. The landscape here is defined by a flat, porous horizon where the sky feels vast and heavy, often casting a bruised, violet light over the scrubby vegetation as the day retreats. Residents find a singular peace in the proximity of Winding River Park, a sprawling expanse of green that serves as a buffer against the encroaching suburban sprawl, grounding the local geography in a stillness that feels older than the houses standing upon it.
Economic life in Oak Ridge has long moved in the shadow of the shifting regional tides, transitioning from early agricultural roots to a modern rhythm dictated by the demands of the wider coastal economy. While the bustle of the Atlantic Ocean defines the seasonal cycle for many, the daily experience here remains tied to the steady, dark waters of the Toms River and the quietude of the surrounding woodlands. History is not etched in grand monuments but in the modest architecture and the way the light catches the reeds near Forge Pond, reflecting a community that has quietly adapted to the complexities of its environment. Life in Oak Ridge proceeds with a measured intensity, where the influence of the nearby coast is felt as a gentle pressure, shaping the habits and the temperament of those who make their lives in this corner of the world.

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.
