How to Use This West Trenton, New Jersey Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for West Trenton, 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 West Trenton.
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 West Trenton, New Jersey
West Trenton is a locality in Mercer County, New Jersey, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,800. The population density is 1350.0 people per km². West Trenton is located at 40.2640°N, 74.8185°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 08628.West Trenton unfolds across a landscape of low-slung industrial corridors and quiet, residential grids that define its steady, inland character. It lies 1.1 miles west-southwest of Ewing, NJ (from Ewing, NJ: bearing 248°T), and is situated 5.1 miles northwest of Trenton. The air here holds the weight of a long-settled interior, far removed from the brine of the distant coast, settling instead over the modest flow of Gold Run just a mile to the east. To the northwest, the silhouettes of Middlebrook Heights suggest a distant, hazy frontier, while the immediate terrain offers a flatter, more utilitarian grace. A mile away, the grounds of the Jewish Community Center provide a localized respite of green, while the rush of Scudders Falls echoes faintly as a reminder of the water’s persistent friction against the land. Even the light at dusk seems to pause here, filtering through the branches in a way that turns the gray asphalt and brick into something muted and soft.
West Trenton carries the quiet, industrious legacy of a region built on the movement of goods and the labor of those who kept the gears turning. While the hum of the modern transit lines persists, the echoes of an earlier, more manufacturing-heavy economy remain etched into the spatial logic of the streets. Beyond the residential clusters, the Five Mile Woods Forest Preserve sits five miles out, offering a dense, dark contrast to the cleared tracts of the neighborhood. Ceva Lake, only two miles away, serves as a still, reflective anchor for the surrounding acreage, mirroring a sky that often feels vast and unobstructed. Life in West Trenton moves with the deliberate, unvarnished cadence of a place that understands its own importance, grounded firmly in a geography that looks toward the interior rather than the edge.

About This West Trenton Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of West Trenton, New Jersey. Coordinates: 40.263997, -74.818496. 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 West Trenton includes the ZIP code (08628), telephone area code (609, 640), county seat of Mercer County (Trenton), 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.
