How to Use This Sussex, New Jersey Map

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

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.

Sussex holds the Clove Brook within its borders, a waterway that serves as the quiet pulse of the land as it travels through the local topography. It lies 3.8 miles southwest of Wantage, NJ (from Wantage, NJ: bearing 231°T), and is situated 6.5 miles west of Vernon. The Clove Acres Lake mirrors the shifting sky, providing a still, reflective surface that anchors the immediate landscape before the ground rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Kittatinny Mountains. Beyond the reach of the town, the terrain leans into the rugged character of the region, where the verdant density of Stokes State Forest looms on the horizon, cooling the air and holding the scent of damp earth and pine needles. The light at dusk here possesses a particular clarity, sharpening the lines of the fields and turning the low-lying shadows into deep, cooling pools of violet and gray.

Sussex emerged from a legacy of agricultural labor and small-scale industry, evolving from a place defined by the heavy, rhythmic work of the soil into a center that maintains a steady, deliberate pace. Residents often gather at Sussex Borough Park, a space that functions as the communal living room where the echoes of the region’s past as a transit point for goods and produce still linger in the architecture. To the east, the expansive reach of Vernon Valley marks the transition toward more rugged, shadowed elevations, reinforcing the isolation that keeps the pace of life measured and internal. The economy remains tethered to this landscape, drawing from the surrounding acreage and the persistence of local trade, ensuring that Sussex remains a place defined by the land it occupies rather than the fleeting trends of the world beyond its borders.
