How to Use This Ashfield, Pennsylvania Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Ashfield, Pennsylvania. 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 Pennsylvania 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 Ashfield.

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 Ashfield, Pennsylvania

Ashfield is a locality in Carbon County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 18.0 people per km². Ashfield is located at 40.7845°N, 75.7135°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 18235, 18212.

Ashfield rests amidst a landscape defined by the persistent, winding course of Lizard Creek, which carves its path through a terrain of deep-set basins and rising ridges. It lies 13.2 miles west-northwest of Northampton, PA (from Northampton, PA: bearing 301°T), and is situated 5.5 miles west-southwest of Palmerton. The atmosphere here is marked by a particular clarity, where the afternoon sun catches the slate-colored shale of the slopes, casting long, sharp shadows that seem to stretch toward the distant silhouette of the Pocono Mountains. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the land deepens into the quiet shade of Nis Hollow, a depression that holds the morning mist long after the rest of the valley has cleared. Carbon County Park provides a expanse of preserved woodland that anchors the local geography, offering a buffer against the encroaching silence of the surrounding ridges.

Ashfield carries the quiet weight of an anthracite heritage, a history where the labor of the earth once dictated the pulse of the local economy. While the heavy industry that defined the regional landscape has largely receded, the town retains a character forged in the deliberate, steady work of earlier generations. Residents often look toward the wider expanse of the Delaware-Lehigh State Experimental Forest for a sense of enduring scale, while the proximity of Sand Spring Lake serves as a modest focal point for the seasonal rhythms of the area. Life in Ashfield moves with a measured pace, governed more by the changing light upon the ridges and the shifting seasonal currents of the creek than by the frantic demands of the modern world.

About This Ashfield Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ashfield, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.784538, -75.713522. 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 Ashfield includes the ZIP code (18235, 18212), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Carbon County (Jim Thorpe), 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.
