How to Use This Upper Greenwood Lake, New Jersey Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Upper Greenwood Lake, 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 Upper Greenwood Lake.

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.

Upper Greenwood Lake occupies a rugged depression in the northern highlands, where the persistent flow of Long House Creek defines the local drainage and whispers through the dense undergrowth. It lies 3.6 miles north-northwest of West Milford, NJ (from West Milford, NJ: bearing 348°T), and is situated 5.3 miles south-southwest of Warwick. The terrain here is defined by high-elevation ridges and deep, shadowed hollows that retain a cool, damp stillness even in the heat of midsummer. Only a mile away, the canopy of Rough Mountain State Forest stretches out in an unbroken expanse of hardwoods and hemlocks, providing a verdant backdrop that dominates the horizon. To the west, the distant silhouette of the Kittatinny Mountains catches the fading amber light of dusk, grounding the landscape in a vast, geologic scale. The air carries the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves, a reminder that the land remains untamed despite the encroachment of human architecture.

Upper Greenwood Lake evolved from its origins as a seasonal retreat into a permanent collection of hillside residences, where the local economy is largely defined by the quiet labor of commuters and the stewardship of the surrounding environment. Proximity to Wawayanda State Park serves as a focal point for the inhabitants, who look to the protected wilderness as both a buffer and a source of recreation. Beyond the immediate hills, the landscape yields to the deeper geography of the Clinton Brook Valley, while the seasonal cascade at Buttermilk Falls provides a rhythmic, liquid pulse to the nearby woods. Life in Upper Greenwood Lake follows the slow, deliberate pace of the seasons, where the residents exist in a state of quiet negotiation with the steep slopes and the relentless, creeping growth of the forest that surrounds every doorway.
