Explore Westmont, 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 Westmont, 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 Westmont.
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.

Westmont defines itself through the quiet, consistent presence of Newton Creek, which meanders through the landscape as a persistent thread of moving water. It lies 1.4 miles east-southeast of Collingswood, NJ (from Collingswood, NJ: bearing 115°T), and is situated 6.8 miles east-southeast of Philadelphia.
The low-lying terrain surrounding Westmont offers a stable, inland foundation, far removed from the volatility of the distant shoreline. Residents find a familiar stillness at the edges of Hopkins Pond, where the water mirrors the shifting colors of the canopy during the transition of seasons. To the east, the sprawling expanse of Wharton State Forest provides a dense, wooded counterpoint to the suburban rhythm of the streets. Beyond the immediate flatlands, the subtle rise of Hutton Hill stands as a distant landmark on the horizon, grounding the view. Crystal Avenue Park serves as a local sanctuary, offering an accessible green space that anchors the daily experience of the neighborhood.
Westmont grew from the steady expansion of regional transit and commerce, evolving into a residential enclave that prioritizes accessibility and regional connection. The local economy thrives on the industrious spirit of small-scale enterprise, with professional services and retail hubs providing the backbone of daily life. Historically, the area benefited from its proximity to major transit arteries, which allowed the population to flourish while maintaining a distinct, localized focus. The rhythm of commerce here is measured by the steady foot traffic of Haddon Avenue, where the legacy of earlier development remains visible in the architecture of the storefronts. Residents often look toward the regional influence of the nearby League Island basin, which shapes the broader economic landscape of the surrounding territory. This balance of industry and residential comfort defines the character of Westmont as a place of sustained, quiet growth.
The cultural character of Westmont is marked by a neighborly reserve and an appreciation for the long-standing traditions of the region. Local events frequently center on seasonal gatherings that bring the community together under the shade of mature trees, fostering a sense of continuity across generations. While the pace of life feels deliberate and grounded, the area has nurtured individuals of genuine note, including the acclaimed author and poet Walt Whitman, who found deep inspiration in the surrounding meadows and the open, uncomplicated spirit of the region. Landmarks like the historic theater districts and community centers serve as the primary venues for shared experiences, reflecting the artistic leanings of the populace. Every autumn, the quality of light at dusk transforms the streets into a study of soft, golden shadows, lending an air of quiet beauty to the mundane walk home. Westmont maintains this distinctive atmosphere by honoring its past while remaining fully engaged in the simple, ongoing work of being a place where people choose to dwell.

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.
