How to Use This Ocean View, New Jersey Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Ocean View, 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 Ocean View.

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 Ocean View, New Jersey

Ocean View is a locality in Cape May County, New Jersey, United States. It is a small community with a population of 685. The population density is 91.0 people per km². Ocean View is located at 39.2013°N, 74.7437°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 08230.

Ocean View emerges from the flat, marshy expanse of the coastal plain, defined by the slow, brackish pulse of Mill Creek as it carves a winding path toward the horizon. It lies 2.7 miles southwest of Upper, NJ (from Upper, NJ: bearing 215°T), and is situated 7.7 miles northeast of Middle. The landscape here possesses a raw, unvarnished quality, where the air hangs heavy with the salt-tinged scent of the Atlantic Ocean, situated only three miles to the east. Across the horizon, the low-lying terrain of Sedge Island breaks the line of the water, a quiet witness to the shifting tides that dictate the rhythm of the soil. The light at dusk here is a bruised purple, casting long, thin shadows over the grasses of the Cape May Wetlands Wildlife Management Area, where the boundary between solid earth and rising water seems to dissolve into a singular, shimmering gray.

Ocean View carries the quiet weight of a region shaped by the intersection of agrarian roots and the encroaching influence of the sea. While the local economy has transitioned from the seasonal harvests of the past to a more modern, service-oriented pace, the character of the place remains tethered to the land and the nearby waterways. Residents navigate a life defined by the proximity of the Cape May Wetlands Wildlife Management Area, observing the seasonal migration of birds that find shelter in the dense, tangled undergrowth. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the landscape stretches toward the distant, wooded expanse of Belleplain State Forest and the low, unassuming stretch of Poor House Flat, grounding Ocean View in a geography that values the quietude of the wetlands over the clamor of the shoreline.

About This Ocean View Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ocean View, New Jersey. Coordinates: 39.201263, -74.743738. 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 Ocean View includes the ZIP code (08230), telephone area code (609, 640), county seat of Cape May County (Middle Township), and school district assignment (Dennis 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.
