How to Use This Washington Morris County, New Jersey Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Washington Morris County, 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 Morris County.

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 Morris County emerges from the landscape as a quiet expanse defined by the steady, unhurried flow of the South Branch Raritan River. It lies 5.2 miles south-southwest of Mount Olive, NJ (from Mount Olive, NJ: bearing 208°T), and is situated 9.3 miles southwest of Roxbury. The terrain here is shaped by internal shifts in elevation, where the earth rises toward the distant Kittatinny Mountains that mark the horizon line in a soft, hazy violet. Residents often find clarity in the stillness of Mill Pond Park, a local sanctuary where the water mirrors the shifting light of the afternoon sky. To the west, the topography softens into the low-lying basin of German Valley, offering a stark contrast to the higher ground that characterizes the rest of the region. The proximity to Budd Lake, located just six miles away, provides a focal point for those seeking the quiet reflection of still water amidst the inland hills.

Washington Morris County holds a history rooted in the industrious spirit of early settlers who recognized the potential of the surrounding woodland and fertile soil. The local economy has evolved from its agricultural foundations into a diversified landscape where small-scale enterprises and professional services now anchor the daily cycle of commerce. Residents often commute to broader economic hubs, yet they maintain a distinct local rhythm tied to the legacy of the mills and forges that once defined this region. The labor here is quiet and persistent, reflecting a long-standing tradition of self-reliance that persists despite the encroachment of modern suburban demands. Even as the character of the regional industry shifts, the fiber of the working population remains tied to the deliberate, measured pace of life in the interior of the state.

Washington Morris County maintains a cultural character that prizes privacy and a deep connection to the immediate, physical environment. Local identity is frequently expressed through the maintenance of public spaces like Mill Pond Park, which serves as a communal gathering point during seasonal change. While the region is not a hub for global celebrities, it has been home to individuals such as the legendary jazz pianist Bill Evans, whose introspective compositions seem to echo the contemplative nature of the local landscape. Community life is punctuated by small-scale events that emphasize local heritage and the seasonal rhythms of the inland woods. This is a place where the air carries a crisp, terrestrial weight, and the identity of the people is forged not by grand gestures, but by a consistent and quiet stewardship of their own corner of the world.

About This Washington Morris County Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Washington Morris County, New Jersey. Coordinates: 40.784603, -74.779972. 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 Washington Morris County includes the ZIP code (07853), telephone area code (732, 848), county seat of Morris County (Morristown), and school district assignment.

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.
