How to Use This Blakely, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Blakely occupies a stretch of land defined by the steady, persistent presence of the Lackawanna River as it carves through the local terrain. It lies 4.7 miles north-northeast of Dunmore, PA (from Dunmore, PA: bearing 25°T), and is situated 6.1 miles northeast of Scranton. The landscape is shaped by the ancient, rhythmic influence of the regional topography, where the ground rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Pocono Mountains on the horizon. Residents often find a quiet solace in the immediate green space of Brook Street Field, a local area that serves as a communal anchor amidst the broader sweep of the valley. Only two miles away, the Archbald Pothole stands as a geological reminder of the immense forces that once scoured this inland region. The light at dusk here settles heavy and golden upon the valley floor, turning the gray stone and earth into a landscape of muted, somber brilliance.

Blakely carries the weight of an anthracite memory, a legacy etched into the very foundation of its local economy and industrial rise. The extraction of coal once dictated the pulse of the working day, drawing families into a life defined by the depths of the earth and the heat of the furnace. Over generations, the transition from heavy extraction to a modern service and manufacturing base has shifted the quiet pace of the streets. While the mines have long ceased their primary operations, the infrastructure of the old rail lines and cleared industrial plots remains a testament to the labor that built the regional identity. Today, the economy leans into a mixture of small-scale commerce and regional logistics, maintaining a grounded, industrious spirit that honors its origins.

Blakely fosters a cultural character defined by the sturdy, unpretentious nature of the people who reside there. Notable landmarks are few, yet the nearby Nay Aug Falls provides a meditative point of natural reflection for those who seek the sound of rushing water. Locals frequently gather for high school athletics or community events that celebrate the enduring connections of a long-established population. While the region has seen many pass through, it remains a place where the rhythm of the seasons—from the crisp bite of autumn to the deep stillness of winter—governs the daily experience. The proximity of Olyphant Reservoir Number 1 offers a rare, still mirror to the sky, providing a quiet reprieve from the modest bustle of the neighborhood. Life here moves with a deliberate, steady cadence, reflecting the resilience of a landscape that has endured significant transformation without losing its essential, quiet heart.
