Explore Swedesboro, 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 Swedesboro, 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 Swedesboro.
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.

Swedesboro maintains a quiet, terrestrial gravity, anchored by the slow, deliberate movement of Church Run as it carves a path through the flat, fertile earth. It lies 1.0 miles northeast of Woolwich, NJ (from Woolwich, NJ: bearing 51°T), and is situated 7.4 miles south-southeast of Chester. The landscape here is defined by an expansive, inland stillness, where the horizon remains unbroken by the jagged peaks of the South Valley Hills, which linger twenty-six miles away as a faint, charcoal smudge against the sky. At the center of the local geography, Lake Narraticon offers a consistent, reflective surface, mirroring the changing light of the seasons within the encompassing boundaries of Narriticon Lake Park. The air in Swedesboro often holds the scent of damp soil and ancient, undisturbed vegetation, a reminder that the land remains fundamentally shaped by its interior position, far from the restless influence of any coastline.
Swedish settlers first broke this ground centuries ago, finding in the loam a capacity for growth that would eventually define the regional economy through generations of agricultural industry. The legacy of those early arrivals remains visible in the historic architecture that dots the streets, standing in silent contrast to the modern commerce that now fuels the local rhythm. While the surrounding fields were once dominated by simple harvests, the pace of life in Swedesboro has evolved into a steady, industrious hum, balancing the quietude of its parklands with the practical demands of its position in the state. Even as modern developments shift the landscape, the fundamental character of the place persists, tethered to the persistent flow of Church Run and the enduring, level plains that have supported the people of Swedesboro since its earliest days.

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.
