How to Use This Buckhorn, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Buckhorn marks its presence where the land begins to rise in slow, deliberate swells toward the distant Appalachian Mountains. It lies 2.6 miles west-northwest of Bloomsburg, PA (from Bloomsburg, PA: bearing 294°T), and is situated 7.0 miles east-northeast of Danville. Hemlock Creek carves a narrow, persistent path through the local terrain, its waters reflecting the muted greens of the surrounding woodland and the pale, shifting light of an overcast afternoon. To the immediate west, the open expanse of Frosty Valley provides a quiet basin where the mist lingers long after the morning sun has claimed the ridges. Seven miles away, the surface of Valley View Lake remains a still, obsidian mirror, anchoring the landscape in a stillness that defines the outer edges of the territory. The air here holds the scent of damp earth and cooling stone, a crisp quality that settles over the fields as the day tilts toward dusk.

Buckhorn maintains a steady, industrious pace, its identity forged by the rhythms of the regional economy and the proximity of the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds, which serves as a sprawling focal point for seasonal commerce and local gatherings. The legacy of the area is etched into the way the roads curve around the natural contours of the soil, favoring the practical needs of residents who have long worked the land and managed the transition between rural quietude and the demands of modern transit. Life in Buckhorn operates with a measured consistency, where the focus remains on the tangible work of the day and the maintenance of a landscape that feels both expansive and deeply familiar. The atmosphere lacks any pretense, favoring instead the simple, enduring utility of a place that understands its own geography and the specific, quiet requirements of its inhabitants.

About This Buckhorn Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Buckhorn, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 41.020442, -76.493202. 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 Buckhorn includes the ZIP code (16613, 17815), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Columbia County (Bloomsburg), and school district assignment (Bloomsburg 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.
