How to Use This Avoca, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Avoca occupies a position of quiet utility where the landscape bows to the persistent path of Mill Creek, which carves its way through the earth just a short distance from the local streets. It lies 6.1 miles southwest of Scranton, PA (from Scranton, PA: bearing 219°T), and is situated 9.9 miles northeast of Wilkes-Barre. The terrain here is defined by the heavy, reliable soil of the inland plateau, a place where the light at dusk catches the dust of the valley floor, turning the gray slate of the ground into a shimmering, bruised copper. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Pocono Mountains provide a jagged, permanent horizon, while the proximity of Spring Brook Intake offers a still, reflective reprieve from the mechanical hum of the modern world. Within the immediate boundaries of the land, Plane Street Park provides a small, green anchor, a place where the local air feels thick with the scent of damp earth and the cooling shadows of late afternoon.

Avoca remains a place shaped by the deep, anthracite memory that once fueled the industry of the entire region, leaving behind a legacy of resilience etched into the very foundations of the local economy. The transition from the era of heavy extraction to the present has left the residents with a steady, pragmatic pace of life, one that finds its rhythm in the quiet persistence of the neighborhoods and the enduring character of the architecture. While Dark Hollow lies a few miles to the distance, its presence contributes to the sense of a world contained, a basin of history where the past is not forgotten but folded into the daily routine. Travelers who look for the wilder edges of the territory can venture toward the Pinnacle Trail to witness the ruggedness of the landscape, or find a different kind of intensity in the rushing descent of Nay Aug Falls, yet the true spirit of Avoca is found in the way the people carry the weight of their heritage with a modest, unpretentious grace.
