MAP OF NEW JERSEY
Pictured below is a map of New Jersey. New Jersey is a state in the northeastern continental United States. It is bordered by New York (to the north and east), the Atlantic Ocean (to the east), Delaware (to the south and west) and Pennsylvania (to the west).
The Delaware River defines most of New Jersey's western border. New Jersey's prime location has made it an important commercial hub and an ideal area for various manufacturing industries. In spite of all this, almost half of the state's land remains wooded to this day.
