How to Use This Cambra, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Cambra, Pennsylvania

Cambra is a locality in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 18.0 people per km². Cambra is located at 41.1981°N, 76.3058°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 17878, 18611, 18621.

Cambra maintains a quiet composure amidst the rugged, folded terrain of the Pennsylvania interior, where the land rises and falls in long, green-shadowed pleats. It lies 10.6 miles north-northwest of Berwick, PA (from Berwick, PA: bearing 339°T), and is situated 15.5 miles north-northeast of Bloomsburg. Little Pine Creek carves a narrow, persistent path through the valley floor, its waters reflecting the heavy, slate-colored skies that frequently drift over the fields. To the west, the deep indentation of Stine Hollow offers a cool respite from the summer heat, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains marks the horizon line like a jagged ink stroke. The air here holds a crisp, earthen scent, particularly at dusk when the light thins to a pale amber, settling over the meadows and the dense thickets that edge toward the nearby stillness of Lake Pinecrest.

Cambra carries the weight of a regional history rooted in the slow, meticulous cultivation of the soil and the legacy of the local timber trade. Residents often venture toward the quiet paths of Benton Park to observe the seasonal shift of the canopy, or travel further to witness the spill of Kitchen Creek Falls, where the water fractures against the stone in a perpetual, rhythmic white noise. Though the economy has moved beyond the labor-intensive practices of the past, the industry of the present remains tied to the land’s capacity for endurance and quiet production. Life in Cambra follows the steady, predictable cadence of the seasons, a place where the passage of time is measured not by sudden shifts, but by the gradual changing of the leaves and the persistent, low-voiced flow of the creek as it moves steadily toward the horizon.

About This Cambra Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cambra, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 41.198139, -76.30577. 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 Cambra includes the ZIP code (17878, 18611, 18621), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Luzerne County (Wilkes-Barre), and school district assignment.

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.
