Explore Ventnor, 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 Ventnor, 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 Ventnor.
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.

Ventnor sits firmly upon the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, where the salt air defines the daily rhythm of the streets. It lies 3.3 miles west-southwest of Atlantic City, NJ (from Atlantic City, NJ: bearing 242°T), and is situated 5.7 miles southeast of Egg Harbor. The West Canal carves a quiet path through the landscape, acting as a steady, narrow artery that reflects the shifting colors of the sky. Beyond the immediate reach of the shoreline, the terrain remains low and level, eventually giving way to the distant, hazy silhouette of Sandy Ridge on the horizon. Residents often find solace in the open space of Ventnor City 1, a local park that provides a necessary green breath amidst the suburban density. On clear days, the proximity to the marsh and meadowland reminds observers that the land is still tethered to the tides.
Ventnor emerged as a deliberate response to the expansion of regional transit, growing from a collection of coastal plots into a distinct residential identity. The local economy maintains a steady pace, moving away from the heavy industry of the past toward a service-oriented framework that supports the needs of year-round inhabitants. Small businesses and professional services form the backbone of the local commerce, operating with a quiet pragmatism that avoids the frantic nature of larger neighboring hubs. While the nearby Green Bank State Forest remains a distant reminder of the region's wilder interior, the local focus stays firmly fixed on maintaining a stable, functional environment. Bargaintown Pond, resting five miles inland, serves as a placid counterpoint to the relentless motion of the nearby surf.
Ventnor preserves a modest cultural character, favoring the comfort of familiar porches and the steady walk of a neighborhood morning over grand spectacles. The iconic boardwalk remains a primary landmark, functioning as a wooden stage where the community observes the seasonal shifts of the Atlantic Ocean. Local events often center on the shifting tides or the seasonal transition, drawing people together in a way that feels communal rather than performative. Although the area is primarily residential, individuals such as the author Mario Puzo found a connection to this specific stretch of the coast, reflecting a certain literary quality in the local atmosphere. Life here moves with a deliberate, unadorned grace, where the primary concern is the simple maintenance of a home near the water’s edge.

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.
