Explore Springfield, 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 Springfield, 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 Springfield.
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.

Springfield maintains a quiet equilibrium as the Rahway River winds through its borders, shaping the low-lying terrain into a landscape defined by fluid, persistent movement. It lies 1.5 miles south-southwest of Millburn, NJ (from Millburn, NJ: bearing 207°T), and is situated 6.8 miles south-southwest of Essex. The air here often carries a subtle, saline humidity, a reminder that the open coastline lies only seventeen miles away, tempering the atmosphere with a distant maritime influence. To the west, the subtle rise of Long Hill anchors the horizon, while the local geography finds a more immediate focus in the shaded paths of the Rahway River Parkway. Nearby, the water of Briant Pond offers a still, reflective counterpoint to the restless current of the river, and the modest descent of Maple Falls provides a rhythmic, melodic cadence to the surrounding woodland.
History resides in the layers of Springfield, where the echoes of the American Revolution remain woven into the local identity, marking a time when the soil witnessed the turning of tides. While the economy has evolved from its early agricultural roots into a modern landscape of commerce and suburban residence, the town retains a grounded character that favors the steady pace of daily life over the frantic pulse of the nearby metropolitan centers. Residents often find a particular beauty in the way the late afternoon light catches the surface of the river, turning the water into a ribbon of pale gold before the dusk settles over the neighborhood. This quiet endurance, balanced between the proximity of Gulfport Reach and the inland stability of the region, defines the fundamental spirit of Springfield.

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.
