Explore Washington, 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 Washington, 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 Washington.
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.

Washington sits deep within the dense, sandy expanse of Wharton State Forest, where the landscape is defined by the persistent, muted verdancy of pine and scrub oak. It lies 12.0 miles north-northeast of Atlantic, NJ (from Atlantic, NJ: bearing 30°T), and is situated 4.7 miles north of Washington Burlington County. The terrain here is flat and porous, characterized by a stillness that settles over the low-lying barrens, interrupted only by the slow, dark movement of Bull Creek just a mile away. Light in Washington often takes on a bruised, amber quality at dusk, filtering through the needles of the forest to stretch long shadows across the sandy soil. To the northwest, the distant, hazy silhouette of Sandy Ridge rises against the horizon, providing a singular point of verticality in an otherwise horizontal world of pine needles and damp, acidic earth.
Washington carries the weight of a quiet, industrious past, shaped by the extraction of bog iron and the slow cycles of the surrounding woodland. Life in Washington remains tethered to the rhythm of the forest, far removed from the frantic pace of larger metropolitan hubs, with the local economy shifting from the heavy labor of early furnaces to the maintenance of the vast, protected wild that encompasses it. Residents often look toward Harrisville Pond for a reprieve from the heat, finding a stark, reflective clarity in its waters that contrasts with the tangled thickets of Green Bank State Forest nearby. The air here holds a distinct, earthy scent of damp loam and resin, a reminder that human presence in Washington is merely a thin, persistent layer laid over an ancient and unyielding wilderness.

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.
