How to Use This Ashley, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Ashley defines itself by the persistent, dark currents of Solomon Creek, which carve a path through the earth as if searching for a forgotten depth. It lies 2.6 miles south-southwest of Wilkes Barre, PA (from Wilkes Barre, PA: bearing 198°T), and is situated 2.6 miles south-southwest of Wilkes-Barre. The landscape here is defined by the steep, shadowed edges of the Wyoming Valley, where the terrain rises in rugged ridges that seem to hold the low-hanging clouds in place. A mile away, the quiet basin of Pine Run Reservoir offers a stillness that contrasts with the restless movement of the creek, while the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Pocono Mountains frame the horizon. At the center of the daily rhythm, Main Street Park provides a small, green anchor where the light catches the leaves in late afternoon, casting long, thin shadows that stretch across the grass like reaching fingers.

Ashley bears the heavy, indelible marks of an anthracite history, where the economy was once forged in the deep, subterranean veins that fueled the industrial ambition of the region. The remnants of that era persist in the architecture and the deliberate, unadorned pace of life, where the memory of coal remains a weight beneath the soil. While the roar of the mines has long since faded into the silence of the valley, the local character remains tempered by the resilience of those who stayed to cultivate a life in the wake of such intense extraction. Five miles away, the power of Whirlpool Canyon Falls serves as a persistent reminder of the natural forces that operate independently of human toil, grounding the residents in a landscape that is both beautiful and demanding.
