How to Use This Catawissa, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Catawissa anchors itself firmly upon the fertile banks where the Catawissa Creek completes its journey toward the larger Susquehanna, carving a path through the dense, verdant terrain of the region. It lies 3.6 miles south of Bloomsburg, PA (from Bloomsburg, PA: bearing 184°T), and is situated 8.0 miles east of Danville. The landscape surrounding Catawissa is defined by the heavy, ancient presence of the Appalachian Mountains visible on the distant horizon, their ridges casting long, violet shadows during the cooling hours of dusk. To the north, the terrain softens into the gentle, cultivated expanse of Frosty Valley, while the nearby waters of Lake Glory provide a quiet, reflective stillness that contrasts with the constant, rhythmic movement of the creek. Within the immediate footprint of the settlement, Mill Street Park serves as a central clearing where the light catches the brick and timber of a landscape that has long been shaped by the interplay of water and soil.

History in Catawissa remains etched into the very stones of its foundations, tracing back to an era when the confluence of waterways dictated the success of early mills and trading outposts. The local economy, once deeply tethered to the industrious pulse of the surrounding coal regions, has evolved, though the quiet, deliberate pace of the Pennsylvania interior persists in the way the morning light hits the storefronts. Residents maintain a steady, grounded rhythm, navigating a world where the legacy of regional manufacturing lingers in the architecture and the sturdy, unpretentious character of the streets. Life here moves with a certain gravity, reflective of a place that understands its own geography, finding a quiet, enduring beauty in the intersection of the creek’s flow and the solid, earthen reality of the surrounding hills.
