Explore Port Monmouth, 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 Port Monmouth, 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 Port Monmouth.
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.

Port Monmouth defines its own low-lying horizon where the silt of the earth meets the brackish patience of the tide. It lies 2.7 miles north-northeast of Middletown, NJ (from Middletown, NJ: bearing 22°T), and is situated 5.0 miles east-northeast of Hazlet. Compton Creek carves a winding, muddy path through the salt marshes, acting as the primary artery for the landscape before it slips toward the distant reach of the Atlantic Ocean. The air here holds a permanent dampness, a heavy weight that carries the scent of brine and decaying cordgrass, grounding the senses in a world of muted grays and deep, marshy greens. To the north, the elevation remains stubbornly flat, a stark contrast to the distant, hazy silhouette of the Mount Pleasant Hills that rise like a bruised purple line against the sky. Visitors find their way to the Bayshore Waterfront Park, where the land yields to the water and the wind off the expanse feels stripped of pretense, leaving only the raw, rhythmic pulse of the rising and falling water.
Port Monmouth maintains a quiet, working-class endurance, its history etched into the weathered bulkheads and the remnants of a once-thriving maritime trade that relied on the shifting moods of the shore. While the clamor of modernity pushes from the suburban edges, the local character remains tethered to the water, where the economy of the past—fishing and harvesting the bounty of the creek—still informs the quiet habits of those who remain. Inland, the stillness of Natco Lake offers a freshwater respite from the salt, a mirror for the sky that sits undisturbed by the bustle of the coast. Life here moves with the tide rather than the clock, a slow accumulation of days spent under a sky that feels broader than it has any right to be. Beyond the immediate reach of the shoreline, the memory of older, harder industries lingers in the rusted iron and salt-stained wood, reminding the observer that Port Monmouth exists as a place of transition, caught between the encroaching suburban sprawl and the ancient, indifferent reach of the sea.

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.
