Explore Orange, 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 Orange, 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 Orange.
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.

Orange reveals a landscape defined by its proximity to the subtle, shifting tides of the distant Wallabout Channel and the more immediate presence of the East Branch Rahway River. It lies 1.5 miles west of East Orange, NJ (from East Orange, NJ: bearing 279°T), and is situated 9.2 miles west-northwest of Bergen. The terrain rises gently toward the elevation of Stony Hill, creating a varied topography that feels both grounded and expansive under the shifting sky. Residents often find quiet beauty in the way the afternoon light catches the water of Butler Pond, a mere five miles away. This atmosphere of suburban density is tempered by the nearby green expanse of the Ramapo Mountain State Forest, which waits on the horizon as a reminder of the wilder, wooded reaches of the state. Life here unfolds across a textured ground that manages to balance its settled, residential character with the persistent pull of the surrounding geography.
Orange grew from a legacy of industrious innovation, once serving as a center for the production of fine hats that defined the regional economy for generations. This history of skilled labor and manufacturing left a lasting imprint on the local landscape, where the echoes of past factories still inform the rhythm of daily life. The economy has since evolved into a diverse mix of services and commerce, reflecting the adaptability of a place that values its working-class roots. Even as the nature of local industry shifts, the commitment to professional development and economic stability remains a core value for those who reside here. The spirit of the early craftsmen persists in the persistent, quiet work of the people who keep the local machinery of life running today.
Orange maintains a distinct cultural identity anchored by the active presence of Bell Stadium, a local venue that serves as a focal point for community gatherings and collective energy. The town has been shaped by the presence of notable figures such as Lauryn Hill, whose artistic influence resonates far beyond these streets, and the enduring legacy of Thomas Edison, who famously conducted his work in the vicinity. Landmarks throughout the area offer glimpses into a past that is continuously integrated into the modern experience of the residents. Local events often draw neighbors together, fostering a sense of shared purpose that characterizes the daily social life of the population. Whether through the lens of its historic figures or the vitality of its current inhabitants, the character of the place remains firmly rooted in its own unique heritage and ongoing evolution.

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.
