Explore Pennsville, 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 Pennsville, 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 Pennsville.
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.

Pennsville presents a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of inland plains and the subtle shifts of a temperate, continental climate. It lies 11.7 miles west-southwest of Woolwich, NJ (from Woolwich, NJ: bearing 240°T), and is situated 6.6 miles south-southeast of Wilmington. Stonebank Creek winds its way through the local terrain just one mile from the center, acting as a steady, quiet artery that feeds the surrounding soil. To the north, the gentle rise of Big Mannington Hill offers a modest vantage point over the expansive, flat stretches of land that characterize this portion of the state. The air here often carries the scent of damp earth and seasonal change, particularly when the light softens in the late afternoon. Residents find a sense of continuity in the proximity of Riverview Beach Park, which serves as a vital green space for the community to gather under the open sky.
Pennsville grew from a foundation of agrarian industry, slowly evolving alongside the changing tides of regional commerce and manufacturing. The local economy has long relied on the steady labor of its residents, who have transitioned through various sectors while maintaining a grounded, working-class resilience. Fields that once supported intensive farming still dictate the rhythm of the seasons, even as modern industrial interests have left their own marks on the infrastructure. The proximity of the Red Lion State Forest, only eight miles away, suggests a history deeply connected to the timber and natural resources of the surrounding landscape. Economic life in Pennsville remains tethered to these traditional roots, favoring a steady, functional approach to growth and maintenance.
Cultural life in Pennsville is marked by a modest, neighborly character that prioritizes local connections over grand, artificial spectacle. The town functions with an unpretentious pace, where the daily routines of citizens create a steady, reliable hum of activity throughout the year. Local events are often hosted within the grounds of Riverview Beach Park, providing a central venue for public life and communal interaction. While the area does not claim the birthplaces of world-famous icons, the strength of the local spirit is defined by the generations of families who have built their lives here. The landscape remains the primary landmark, with the distant, tranquil presence of Phillips Pond thirteen miles away offering a point of interest for those seeking the quietude of inland waters. Pennsville maintains its identity through this steady adherence to its own specific, uncomplicated geography and the enduring habits of its people.

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.
