How to Use This Pequannock, New Jersey Map

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

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 Pequannock, New Jersey

Pequannock is a locality in Morris County, New Jersey, United States. It has a population of 15,600. The population density is 1050.0 people per km². Pequannock is located at 40.9523°N, 74.2988°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 07444, 07440.

Pequannock occupies a stretch of land defined by the flat, fertile expanse of the Pompton Plains, which provides a steady, open horizon beneath the shifting New Jersey sky. It lies 1.1 miles south of Pompton Plains, NJ (from Pompton Plains, NJ: bearing 188°T), and is situated 7.1 miles west-northwest of Paterson. The terrain remains largely level, though the silhouette of the Second Watchung Mountain rises five miles away as a dark, serrated edge against the dusk. Residents often walk the quiet perimeter of McDonalds Ponds, where the water catches the pale light of late afternoon in a way that feels both ancient and immediate. Nearby, the water of East Ditch moves with a slow, deliberate purpose through the low-lying terrain, carving a path that has defined the drainage of this inland basin for generations. The air here holds a distinct stillness, particularly in the quiet hours when the light flattens against the meadows and the distant trees.

Pequannock traces its development back to early agricultural roots, when the deep, silty soil of the Pompton Plains sustained farms that fed a growing regional population. Over time, the local economy shifted from these agrarian foundations toward the industrial and suburban patterns that characterize much of the modern landscape. The proximity to rail lines and evolving transit corridors gradually transformed the fields into structured residential neighborhoods, though the memory of the early settlers persists in the layout of the streets. While industry has ebbed and flowed, Pequannock maintains a steady commercial pulse that supports its daily life without the frenetic pace of larger metropolitan hubs. The land has been shaped by a transition from the plow to the commuter, reflecting the broader economic evolution of the state.

Cultural life in Pequannock centers on a shared appreciation for the local landscape and the communal spaces that bring neighbors together, such as the quiet acreage of Rockledge Park. On clear days, the view toward the horizon captures the rugged profile of the Second Watchung Mountain, a reminder of the more dramatic elevation changes that lie just beyond the plains. While the waterfall known as Passaic Falls draws visitors from further afield, the local rhythm is defined by smaller, quieter traditions and community gatherings. Notable individuals like the musician Zakk Wylde have roots in this region, bringing a measure of recognition to the area’s creative spirit. Whether exploring the trails toward the distant Ramapo Mountain State Forest or attending a local event, residents find a particular stability in the intersection of suburban life and the natural features that frame their daily existence.

About This Pequannock Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Pequannock, New Jersey. Coordinates: 40.95232, -74.29876. 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 Pequannock includes the ZIP code (07444, 07440), telephone area code (973, 862), county seat of Morris County (Morristown), and school district assignment.

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.
