How to Use This Pohatcong, New Jersey Map

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

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.

Pohatcong maintains a steady, quiet composure across a landscape defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of Lopatcong Creek. It lies 2.0 miles southeast of Phillipsburg, NJ (from Phillipsburg, NJ: bearing 127°T), and is situated 3.3 miles east-southeast of Easton. Sunlight filters through the canopy in long, angular shafts, illuminating the heavy, fertile soil that characterizes this inland expanse. To the west, the horizon catches the distant, hazy silhouette of Old Hound Ridge, a reminder of the geologic patience that shaped the terrain. Residents often find their way to the Parkside Ballfield, where the evening light softens the edges of the grass and turns the air a cooling, dusty gold. Life here moves in concert with the seasons, far removed from the clamor of the coast, finding its own stillness in the quietude of the interior plains.

Pohatcong carries the weight of a working history, once defined by the industries that drew strength from the land and the nearby waterways. While the echoes of older, heavier labor have faded, the economy remains grounded in a pragmatic, agrarian spirit that honors the legacy of its founders. The proximity of Frost Hollow and the quiet depths of Ingersoll Reservoir offer a reprieve from the daily grind, providing spaces where the silence is broken only by the movement of wildlife. Occasionally, the distant, thundering rush of Foul Rift Falls serves as a stark reminder of the raw power inherent in the region's geography. Whether gathered at the local field or tending to the margins of the fields, the people of Pohatcong exist in a delicate balance between the memories of the past and the simple, unadorned requirements of the present day.

About This Pohatcong Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Pohatcong, New Jersey. Coordinates: 40.676037, -75.159378. 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 Pohatcong includes the ZIP code (08865), telephone area code (908), county seat of Warren County (Belvidere), 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.
