Explore Smithville, 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 Smithville, 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 Smithville.
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.

Smithville occupies a landscape defined by the quiet passage of Wigwam Creek, which meanders through the terrain with a persistent, fluid grace. The land surrounding Smithville remains low and level, marked by a pervasive stillness that suggests the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean, which lies only eight miles to the east. Residents often look toward the horizon where the flat earth meets the sky, finding a particular clarity in the light that filters through the nearby Green Bank State Forest. Nearby, Mill Pond provides a tranquil basin of water that anchors the local scenery, offering a stark contrast to the distant, shifting tides. Even the local geography feels unhurried, as the presence of Unknown Park ensures that much of the immediate environment remains open and accessible to the curious observer.
Smithville traces its origins to the labor and industry of early settlers who recognized the value of the surrounding timber and fertile soil. The local economy has evolved from these agrarian roots into a more modern arrangement, though it retains a quiet focus on small-scale commerce and service-oriented trades. Many people in Smithville commute to jobs that draw upon the regional infrastructure, yet they maintain a distinct local identity tied to the traditional industries of the coastal plain. The history of the region is etched into the way the roads follow the natural contours of the land, avoiding the unnecessary disruption of the marshy meadowlands. Economic life here is steady, characterized by a pragmatic approach to development that favors the preservation of the existing landscape over rapid, expansive growth.
Cultural life in Smithville revolves around a shared appreciation for the rhythms of the seasons and the quiet pride of a community that understands its place in the world.

Local events often center on the changing weather, with gatherings that bring neighbors together to mark the transition from the humid warmth of summer to the crisp, clear autumn air. Though no figures of international renown claim Smithville as their primary residence, the people here cultivate a character marked by resilience and a subtle, dry wit. Visitors who walk the paths near the water or explore the local lanes find a place that values substance over spectacle, offering a rare, grounded perspective on everyday life.

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.
