How to Use This Salem, New Jersey Map

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

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.

Salem possesses a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of Fenwick Creek, which winds its way through the terrain with a steady, deliberate grace. It lies 6.2 miles south-southeast of Pennsville, NJ (from Pennsville, NJ: bearing 155°T), and is situated 9.6 miles south of Carneys Point. The surrounding countryside stretches out into a flat, fertile expanse, far removed from the turbulent influence of the distant coastline. To the north, the elevation shifts ever so slightly toward the distant silhouette of Cabin Ridge, which anchors the horizon in a haze of muted blue. Five miles away, the peaceful waters of Elkinton Millpond catch the golden light of late afternoon, reflecting the sky in a mirror of still, dark glass. Beyond the immediate fields, the dense, verdant growth of Red Lion State Forest provides a wilder backdrop to the orderly rows of the nearby agricultural plots.

Salem emerged from a legacy of early colonial settlement, establishing a foundation that has long depended on the rhythms of the earth and the output of local enterprise. The economy traditionally thrived on the bounty of the land, with fertile soil supporting generations of farmers who understood the temperament of the local meadows. Over time, the industrial character evolved, integrating manufacturing efforts that mirrored the industrious spirit of the region’s early inhabitants. Workers often gathered in the vicinity of Locust Meadow, where the interplay of light and shadow across the low-lying basin marked the passage of the working day. This commitment to production remains a quiet undercurrent in the life of the people, who continue to value the tangible results of their own labor.

Salem carries a cultural weight that feels both grounded and deeply observant, seen in the preservation of architectural details that hint at centuries of regional change. Little League Park serves as a central gathering point where the community observes the seasonal shifts through local recreation and shared outdoor activity. The spirit of the place is often reflected in the faces of those who navigate its streets, carrying a stoic warmth that defines the local character. While many figures have passed through this landscape, the historical legacy of individuals like John Fenwick remains a cornerstone of the identity held by those who call Salem their home. Visitors often find that the true essence of the place is not in grand gestures, but in the way the evening air settles over the rooftops, signaling a return to the quietude that has defined this locale for generations.
