Explore Waldwick, 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 Waldwick, 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 Waldwick.
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.

Waldwick maintains a quiet presence within the verdant landscape of the Saddle River Valley, where the morning light often catches the silver movement of the Hohokus Brook as it winds through the terrain. It lies 2.2 miles north of Ridgewood, NJ (from Ridgewood, NJ: bearing 358°T), and is situated 7.1 miles north-northeast of Paterson.
The water flows past the quiet edges of Coles Pond, offering a mirror to the sky that shifts from a pale, reflective gray at dawn to a deep, resonant blue by late afternoon. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Watchung Mountains define the horizon, grounding the perspective of those who walk the local paths. The land here possesses an inland composure, defined by the steady, rhythmic passage of seasons over fields and woodlands rather than the volatile influence of the distant coastline. Emmet Park provides a modest, essential space where the ground holds the coolness of the earth, inviting a slow pace of life that persists regardless of the encroaching modern rush. Residents often observe the subtle transition of shadows across the grass, finding a simple beauty in the way the local topography anchors the day.
Waldwick evolved from a landscape shaped by early agricultural roots into a residential hub that balances its historical foundations with the practical needs of a modern workforce. Industry here has transitioned over generations, moving away from the agrarian focus of the past to support a diverse economy that serves the broader regional network of professionals and commuters. The infrastructure remains tied to the historic rail lines that once facilitated the movement of goods and people, effectively weaving the local economy into the greater pulse of the state. While the character of the work has changed, the underlying work ethic remains a cornerstone of daily life, reflecting a pragmatic approach to growth and maintenance. Many inhabitants find that the blend of professional opportunity and suburban stability creates a unique environment where the echoes of past industry still inform the current economic rhythm.
Waldwick fosters a cultural character defined by its commitment to communal cohesion and the preservation of shared spaces. Landmarks such as Emmet Park serve as focal points for local gatherings, where the social fabric of the population is strengthened through quiet interaction and seasonal events. The town has been home to notable figures such as the accomplished musician and producer Russ Titelman, whose career reflects the creative potential nurtured within such steady, unassuming environments. Education and public service remain primary values, with the local institutions playing a central role in shaping the identity of the next generation. People here appreciate the lack of pretense, preferring the authentic texture of a neighborhood that values its own history and the collective well-being of its residents. Even as the years accumulate, the spirit of the place remains anchored by a persistent, grounded sensibility that favors neighborly connection over ostentation.

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.
