Explore Oradell, 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 Oradell, 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 Oradell.
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.

Oradell reveals itself through the gentle, persistent movement of the Van Saun Mill Brook as it traces a path through the landscape. It lies 1.9 miles north-northwest of New Milford, NJ (from New Milford, NJ: bearing 330°T), and is situated 7.5 miles west-northwest of Yonkers. The presence of the Oradell Reservoir anchors the northern horizon, providing a vast, reflective stillness that dictates the quiet pace of the morning light. Beyond the immediate water, the terrain shifts into the subtle, undulating topography of the Saddle River Valley, which provides a natural cradle for the local flora. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Watchung Mountains marks the edge of the world, reminding observers of the geologic shifts that shaped this region. Though the air often carries a hint of the salt-heavy breeze from Eastchester Bay, the land remains firmly rooted in the inland woods and the protected, quiet groves of Lotus Woods.
Oradell began its recorded life as a modest settlement where the promise of water power invited early industry to harness the flowing streams. These pioneers established mills that transformed the local economy, shifting over generations from agrarian roots to the industrious, commuter-focused character that defines the modern era. While the echoes of early manufacturing have faded, the legacy of careful land stewardship remains, ensuring that the local commercial corridors remain tidy and well-tended. The economy now thrives on a foundation of service and professional enterprise, mirroring the wider shifts of the surrounding region. Residents maintain a steady, industrious rhythm, balancing the demands of modern employment with a deep appreciation for the stability of their home.
Cultural life in Oradell centers on a shared commitment to preserving its heritage, with community gatherings often spilling out into the verdant spaces of Lotus Woods. The architecture reflects a blend of styles that speak to various eras of prosperity, standing as quiet witnesses to the people who have shaped the neighborhood’s identity. The local landscape is marked by landmarks of civic pride, while the occasional visitor might recognize the name of actor Jeffrey Donovan, who spent his formative years walking these streets. Events throughout the seasons bring neighbors together to celebrate the specific light of an autumn afternoon or the thaw of early spring. The atmosphere remains one of purposeful calm, as citizens move through their days with a clear sense of belonging to a place that values both its past and its enduring, quiet vitality.

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.
