How to Use This South Hackensack, New Jersey Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for South Hackensack, 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 Hackensack.
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.

ZIP code: 07606.South Hackensack occupies a low-lying stretch of land defined by the persistent, dark presence of the Riser Ditch, which cuts through the terrain like a jagged vein. The landscape here is flat and functional, marked by a utilitarian stillness where the air often carries the heavy, humid scent of the salt-tinged atmosphere drifting in from Bowery Bay ten miles away. At the edges of the horizon, the silhouette of Long Hill breaks the monotony of the sky, a distant reminder of the rising earth that stands in contrast to the marshy, alluvial character of the immediate soil. Within the quiet perimeter of Municipal Park, the light at dusk flattens against the grass, casting long, stark shadows that highlight the intersection of industrial ambition and the encroaching, restless tide of the natural world.
Industrial corridors and sprawling warehouses define the rhythm of South Hackensack, standing as the primary architects of its modern identity. The economy is rooted in the movement of goods and the steady hum of logistical enterprise, a stark departure from the agrarian past that once defined the surrounding meadows. While the region is removed from the recreation of the Shore Trail or the distant, shaded depths of the Ramapo Mountain State Forest, it maintains a distinct, industrious composure. The proximity to the basin known as The Clove and the occasional sight of a traveler heading toward the urban intensity of Randalls Island reinforce the sense that South Hackensack exists in a state of perpetual transition, a place where the work of the day is measured not by the seasons, but by the relentless, quiet motion of the transit lines that bind the land together.

About This South Hackensack Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of South Hackensack, New Jersey. Coordinates: 40.8626, -74.047918. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for South Hackensack includes the ZIP code (07606), telephone area code (201, 551), county seat of Bergen County (Hackensack), and school district assignment.
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.
