How to Use This Bridgeport, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Bridgeport occupies a rugged corridor where the Lehigh River carves a deep, deliberate path through the earth, defining the very boundaries of the landscape. It lies 9.9 miles southeast of Mountain Top, PA (from Mountain Top, PA: bearing 145°T), and is situated 7.1 miles east-northeast of Freeland. The terrain here is dominated by the steep, forested inclines of Lehigh Gorge State Park, which envelop Bridgeport in a mantle of dense greenery and ancient stone. To the west, the distant summits of the Pocono Mountains trace a jagged line against the sky, while the air maintains a crisp, sharpened edge, carrying the scent of damp shale and cooling timber. In the quiet hours of the late afternoon, the light filters through the canopy in thin, golden shafts, illuminating the riverbed as it pushes steadily past the town’s threshold.

Bridgeport carries the weight of a long industrial memory, its character shaped by the same anthracite veins that once defined the regional economy and drew settlers to these narrow, challenging valleys. While the heavy machinery of the past has largely fallen silent, the legacy of that labor remains present in the weathered brick of older structures and the deliberate, unforced pace of daily life. Residents move with a steady cadence, well-accustomed to the proximity of the wilderness and the way the seasons dictate the rhythm of the outdoors. Beyond the immediate streets, the landscape offers access to the natural solitude of the Delaware-Lehigh State Experimental Forest, reinforcing a connection to the land that feels both permanent and essential to the identity of Bridgeport.

About This Bridgeport Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Bridgeport, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.104072, -75.34355. 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 Bridgeport includes the ZIP code (17040, 17307, 15666), 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 (Upper Merion Area School District).

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.
