Explore Woodcliff Lake, 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 Woodcliff Lake, 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 Woodcliff Lake.
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.

Woodcliff Lake reveals itself through a landscape defined by the quiet movement of the Musquapsink Brook as it winds toward the larger expanse of the Saddle River Valley. It lies 2.0 miles northwest of Hillsdale, NJ (from Hillsdale, NJ: bearing 317°T), and is situated 9.2 miles northeast of Paterson. The terrain here holds a subtle tension, shaped by the presence of Old Mill Pond, which anchors the local vista with its still, dark waters. To the west, the distant Watchung Mountains rise against the sky, offering a permanent, hazy boundary to the horizon. The air carries the scent of damp earth and seasonal change, a reminder of the geography that exists far from any salt air or tidal influence. Residents often find that the light at dusk settles softly over the grass, illuminating the gentle shifts in elevation that define this inland basin.
Woodcliff Lake transitioned from its early agricultural roots into a residential landscape that reflects the broader shifts of the regional economy. While the land once supported smaller farming efforts, the modern era brought corporate development and professional services that favor the convenient access to nearby commercial hubs. Many neighbors commute to work within the professional corridors that define this part of the state, yet the local atmosphere remains distinctly focused on residential life. The legacy of the land survives in the quiet maintenance of spaces like Old Mill Park, where the history of the area is preserved in the simple utility of the grounds. This evolution has balanced the necessity of industry with a desire to maintain the character of the original landscape.
Woodcliff Lake fosters a cultural identity that values the privacy of suburban life while maintaining a connection to regional traditions. Community gatherings often center around the public spaces that provide a common ground for residents to observe the seasons as they turn. Notable individuals, such as the late singer-songwriter Lesley Gore, once called this place home, finding space amidst the greenery to cultivate their creative lives. The nearby Cannonball Trail offers a path for those seeking to engage with the natural surroundings, while the distant Passaic Falls remains a point of interest for those venturing further into the wider geography. Every day unfolds with a predictable rhythm, where the focus remains on the quiet maintenance of the home and the shared experiences of the people who dwell here.

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.
