Explore Verona, 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 Verona, 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 Verona.
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.

Verona reveals its distinct character through the steady, rhythmic flow of the Peckman River as it carves a path through the landscape. It lies 1.6 miles south-southwest of Cedar Grove, NJ (from Cedar Grove, NJ: bearing 201°T), and is situated 2.7 miles north-northeast of Essex. The town sits in the shadow of the First Watchung Mountain, which rises with a stoic presence that defines the western horizon. Residents often gather at Verona Lake, a tranquil expanse that mirrors the changing light of the seasons and serves as a natural anchor for the community. Despite its inland position, the air here carries a faint, salt-tinged reminder of the proximity to Nutley Reach, just a few miles to the east. The terrain here offers a sense of stability, grounded by the geological weight of the ridges that define the surrounding topography.
Settlement in Verona grew from a collection of small-scale agricultural interests into a residential landscape that mirrors the broader industrial evolution of the region. Local enterprise has long favored professional services and retail, supported by a commuter economy that looks toward the nearby metropolitan centers for its primary industrial pulse. While the original milling operations have faded, the town maintains a disciplined approach to commerce that preserves its distinct residential atmosphere. The economy functions with a quiet efficiency, balancing the needs of modern business with the preservation of local space. It is a place where the infrastructure of daily life is organized with a focus on stability and long-term utility.
Verona fosters a cultural character defined by a dedication to education and the maintenance of public spaces like Everett Field, where the community gathers for athletics and seasonal traditions. The social life of the area is marked by a deep respect for local heritage, evident in the thoughtful preservation of landmarks that anchor the neighborhood identity. Notable figures, such as the actor Joe Piscopo, have roots in this environment, reflecting the diverse professional paths taken by those who grew up here. Residents often look toward the distant Passaic Falls for a sense of regional grandeur, though they find their own local beauty in the interplay of shade and sun across the streets. The daily pace remains measured, reflecting a collective desire to balance active civic engagement with the comfort of a settled, well-tended home.

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.
