Explore Point Pleasant, 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 Point Pleasant, 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 Point Pleasant.
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.

Point Pleasant occupies a quiet interior landscape defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of the Musconetcong River, which carves a deliberate path through the terrain. The land here holds a certain gravity, characterized by a terrestrial stillness that stretches toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Kittatinny Mountains on the horizon. Lake Hopatcong remains a central presence, its waters mirroring the changing light of a landscape that feels far removed from the press of the outside world. Within the boundaries of Cyo Camp, the earth is thick with the scent of loam and damp leaves, offering a sense of permanence that grounds the local geography. As the afternoon sun slants across the Succasunna Plains, the shadows lengthen in a way that makes the surrounding woods seem to breathe, pulling the observer into the slow, steady pulse of a place that keeps its own time.
Point Pleasant bears the marks of a history rooted in the grit of inland labor and the quiet persistence of those who worked the soil and the water. The economy has shifted over generations, moving from the demands of early industry to the steady, humdrum cadence of contemporary suburban life, yet the connection to the land remains a vital, if unspoken, inheritance. Residents often navigate the days between the quietude of the forest and the functional requirements of modern work, maintaining a character that is as unpretentious as the riverbeds themselves. In the transition from the industrious past to the present, Point Pleasant retains a structural integrity, a sense of place where the architecture of daily routine is built upon the solid, unremarkable reality of the earth. There is a particular beauty in this resilience, seen in the way the light catches the dust on a quiet road or the way the evening air settles over the plains, signaling the end of another day in a region that values its own steady, internal rhythm.

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.
