How to Use This Pompton Lakes, New Jersey Map

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

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.

Pompton Lakes maintains a distinct presence where the Wanaque River carves a deliberate path through the landscape. It lies 1.5 miles west-southwest of Oakland, NJ (from Oakland, NJ: bearing 249°T), and is situated 8.7 miles northwest of Paterson. This inland geography favors a quiet terrain where the water moves steadily past the banks of Twin Lakes, reflecting the changing light of the seasons. Three miles away, the landscape shifts toward the open expanse of Pompton Plains, offering a contrast to the denser woodland nearby. Further out, the Kittatinny Mountains form a distant, hazy silhouette against the horizon, anchoring the view. The nearby Ramapo Mountain State Forest provides a dense canopy of timber that defines the western edge of the region, while the local grounds of Krom Park offer residents a place to observe the natural cycle of the local flora.

Pompton Lakes emerged from a history deeply tied to the industrial ingenuity of early American manufacturing. The local economy once relied heavily on the production of munitions and metalwork, industries that shaped the labor patterns and the physical layout of the streets. Over generations, the workforce transitioned from these heavy industrial roots toward a more diverse array of service and professional enterprises. The remnants of these older factories still influence the architectural character of the district, serving as a reminder of the labor that built the foundation of the local economy. Today, the commercial vitality of Pompton Lakes persists through smaller, specialized businesses that cater to the daily needs of those who live and work here. This industrial legacy remains a quiet, persistent influence on the way the infrastructure functions and how the neighborhood organizes its growth.

Cultural life in Pompton Lakes centers on a shared appreciation for its specific landmarks and the quiet rhythms of suburban existence. The community gathers periodically for local events that emphasize a sense of continuity, often drawing residents toward the water or the open spaces of the parks. While Passaic Falls lies eight miles away, its presence is a frequent destination for those seeking to appreciate the power of the moving water within the region. Individuals seeking recreation often venture toward the Cannonball Trail, which offers a path through the historical landscape of the surrounding terrain. Though many residents have contributed to the character of the place, the actor Victor Mature remains one of the most recognizable figures to have spent time in the area. Such individuals, alongside the daily habits of the people, define the atmosphere of Pompton Lakes as a place that honors its own specific heritage.
