How to Use This Strathmere, New Jersey Map

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

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 Strathmere, New Jersey

Strathmere is a locality in Cape May County, New Jersey, United States. It is a small community with a population of 137. The population density is 100.6 people per km². Strathmere is located at 39.1957°N, 74.6579°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 08248.

Strathmere occupies a slender, sun-bleached stretch of barrier island where the horizon dissolves into the restless gray expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. It lies 2.6 miles east-southeast of Upper, NJ (from Upper, NJ: bearing 110°T), and is situated 7.2 miles southwest of Ocean City. The landscape is defined by the shifting geometry of dunes and the salt-crusted air that clings to the weathered shingles of cottages, grounding the senses in a perpetual state of oceanic flux. At the edge of the land, Strathmere Beach serves as the primary meeting point between the maritime grasses and the persistent tide, while the nearby silhouette of Devils Island remains a quiet, marshy sentinel across the channel. The wind here carries a specific, sharp salinity that polishes the local architecture, leaving a patina of brine on every surface and softening the sharp edges of the summer season.

Development in Strathmere has historically favored a quiet, residential autonomy, distinct from the more frenetic pace found in the larger municipalities to the north and south. The local economy persists as a seasonal cycle, tethered to the rhythms of the water and the influx of those seeking a respite from the inland sprawl. Beyond the immediate coastal reach, the terrain transitions toward the brackish expanse of Mill Creek, while further inland, the character of the region shifts toward the deep, silent interior of Belleplain State Forest. Life in Strathmere moves with the tide, a steady ebb and flow that values the persistence of the landscape over the noise of industry, maintaining a fragile, enduring equilibrium against the encroaching sea.

About This Strathmere Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Strathmere, New Jersey. Coordinates: 39.19567, -74.657937. 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 Strathmere includes the ZIP code (08248), telephone area code (609, 640), county seat of Cape May County (Middle Township), and school district assignment (Upper Township School District).

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.
