How to Use This South Dennis, New Jersey Map

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

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.

About South Dennis, New Jersey

South Dennis is a locality in Cape May County, New Jersey, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,703. The population density is 105.9 people per km². South Dennis is located at 39.1702°N, 74.8044°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 08245.

South Dennis unfolds where the brackish pulse of the Dennis Creek dictates the slow, rhythmic expansion of the marshland. It lies 6.3 miles north of Middle, NJ (from Middle, NJ: bearing 359°T), and is situated 6.5 miles west-southwest of Upper. The landscape here exists in a liminal state, defined by the heavy, salt-sweet air drifting seven miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean and the quiet, tea-colored stillness of Johnson Pond. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the terrain shifts into dense, sandy loam, a flat expanse that seems to hold the light of dusk longer than the horizon allows. Far to the northwest, the distant silhouette of Cabin Ridge offers a jagged contrast to the low, expansive sky, while the nearby Dennis Creek Wildlife Management Area acts as a sanctuary for the migratory birds that trace the ancient currents of the coast.

South Dennis preserves a quiet, stubborn endurance, its identity forged in the intersection of maritime legacy and the quietude of the southern interior. The local economy, once tethered to the timber and shipbuilding trades that relied on the nearby waterways, now settles into a slower, deliberate pace that respects the seasonal shifts of the marsh. Residents often look toward the broader expanse of the Belleplain State Forest, eight miles away, for the deep, pine-scented solitude that defines the region’s character, or find a different kind of quietude in the expansive, open reaches of Poor House Flat. Life here is not measured by the haste of the modern corridor, but by the subtle, persistent erosion of the tides near Stipson Island and the way the shadows lengthen across the fields as the day recedes into the Atlantic Ocean’s influence.
