How to Use This Wanamassa, New Jersey Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Wanamassa, 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 Wanamassa.

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.

About Wanamassa, New Jersey

Wanamassa is a locality in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,344. The population density is 1505.6 people per km². Wanamassa is located at 40.2318°N, 74.0254°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 07712.

Wanamassa emerges from the low-lying coastal plain as a quiet convergence of suburban grid and wetland drainage, defined largely by the persistent, winding path of the Hollow Brook. It lies 1.1 miles northwest of Asbury Park, NJ (from Asbury Park, NJ: bearing 318°T), and is situated 5.5 miles east-southeast of Monmouth. This watercourse cuts a subtle, verdant vein through the neighborhood, carrying the runoff of a landscape that feels the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean in the salt-heavy air and the sudden, atmospheric shifts of the tide. Residents find a modest refuge in Appleby Park, where the flat, grassy expanses offer a pause in the day, grounded by the steady, unassuming presence of trees that have weathered countless storms rolling in from the coast. At twilight, the light here stretches thin and pale, illuminating the transition from the familiar, manicured lawns to the wilder, marshy edges where the land begins its slow descent toward the sea.

Wanamassa carries the weight of a mid-century development history, its streets organized into a functional, domestic pattern that reflects the post-war expansion of the region. The economy remains tethered to the broader, industrious pulse of the coast, with local livelihoods often oscillating between the seasonal rhythms of tourism and the steady, professional demands of the modern commute. While the distant silhouette of Lippincort Hill provides a rare vertical anchor on the horizon, the true character of Wanamassa is found in its interior spaces—the schools, the small businesses, and the quiet, residential density that persists just a few miles from the shifting sands of Shark River Island. It is a place that observes the world from a respectful distance, existing as a collection of steady, human efforts held together by the reach of the Hollow Brook, far removed from the more famous, bustling centers that define the rest of the landscape.

About This Wanamassa Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wanamassa, New Jersey. Coordinates: 40.231779, -74.025416. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Wanamassa includes the ZIP code (07712), telephone area code (732, 848), county seat of Monmouth County (Freehold), and school district assignment (Ocean Township School District).

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.
