How to Use This Brockton, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Brockton, Pennsylvania

Brockton is a locality in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 308. The population density is 340.0 people per km². Brockton is located at 40.7484°N, 76.0685°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 17925.

Brockton holds a quiet position where the land folds into itself, defined by the steady, unceasing presence of the Schuylkill River as it carves through the terrain. It lies 7.9 miles east-northeast of Pottsville, PA (from Pottsville, PA: bearing 57°T), and is situated 6.2 miles west-southwest of Tamaqua. The horizon is marked by the distant, hazy blue of the Appalachian Mountains, creating a frame for the modest, sloping topography that characterizes this interior landscape. Only a mile away, the stillness of Moss Glen Reservoir offers a contrast to the river’s movement, holding a mirror to the sky that shifts from bruised purple to slate gray as the light wanes. The air here carries the weight of the inland earth, cool and dense, settling over the ground in a way that makes the surrounding woods feel ancient and deliberate.

History in Brockton is etched into the very dirt, a lingering memory of the anthracite veins that once dictated the pulse of the local economy. Though the industry has receded, the rhythm of the place remains tied to the hard, honest work of those who built their lives in the shadow of the ridges. Residents often find their way to Schuylkill Township Park to trace the lines of the landscape, while those seeking a more rugged connection to the earth venture out toward the River of Rocks Trail. Life here moves with a measured, internal gravity, far from the frantic pace of the coast, defined instead by the proximity of the Lewistown Valley and the persistent, quiet endurance of the Pennsylvania interior.

About This Brockton Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Brockton, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.748423, -76.068545. 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 Brockton includes the ZIP code (17925), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Schuylkill County (Pottsville), and school district assignment (Tamaqua 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.
