How to Use This Canton, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Canton, Pennsylvania

Canton is a locality in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,735. The population density is 583.0 people per km².

Canton anchors itself firmly within the verdant, high-shouldered terrain of the Allegheny Plateau, where the cool, persistent waters of Mill Creek carve a quiet path through the valley floor. It lies 29.7 miles north-northeast of Williamsport, PA (from Williamsport, PA: bearing 15°T), and is situated 15.6 miles southeast of Mansfield.

The landscape surrounding Canton rises in rhythmic swells of deep timber and open pasture, drawing the eye toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains that rim the horizon. Only two miles distant, the still, reflective surface of Lake Nephawin mirrors the shifting sky, while the nearby slopes of Williams Hollow offer a sheltered geography that has long defined the local rhythm of life. During the autumn months, the air takes on a crisp, sharpened clarity, carrying the scent of damp earth and cooling leaves that drift down from the dense canopy of the Loyalsock State Forest. Within the town limits, the greenery of War Memorial Park provides a central space for the community to congregate, its grounds holding the quiet weight of memory beneath the shade of mature trees.

Canton emerged from the intersection of timber and rail, a place where the early industry of the woods gave way to the steady, enduring pace of a rural crossroads. While the heavy machinery of the past has largely receded, the economy remains rooted in the land, supported by a mix of agricultural heritage and the quiet persistence of local enterprise. The legacy of the region is felt in the architecture of the streets, where the sturdy, unadorned storefronts reflect a history of hard work and self-reliance. Travelers seeking the wilder edges of the landscape may venture toward the steep, tumbling descent of Fallbrook Falls, or follow the winding, deliberate path of the Miles Road Trail as it snakes through the surrounding wilderness. Life in Canton moves with the seasons, marked by the slow change of light across the valley and the enduring connection between the people and the rugged, unyielding geography that holds them.

About This Canton Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Canton, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 41.656464, -76.853293. 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 Canton includes the ZIP code (17724), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Bradford County (Towanda), and school district assignment (Canton 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.
