How to Use This Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Clarks Summit occupies a high, resolute position upon the northern reaches of the Allegheny Plateau where the air grows thin and crisp before winter. It lies 6.0 miles north-northwest of Scranton, PA (from Scranton, PA: bearing 337°T), and is situated 6.2 miles northwest of Dunmore. Beyond the immediate streets, the land descends into the profound depths of the Nay Aug Park Gorge, a place where shadows linger long after the sun has retreated. Summit Lake Creek carves a modest path through the local topography, its waters moving with a quiet, steady persistence toward larger systems. On the distant horizon, the Pocono Mountains rise like a serrated blue spine, marking the limit of the view on clear, cold mornings. Locals often find solace at the Unknown Ball Field, where the grass holds the heavy dew of the morning long after the light has turned gold.

Clarks Summit emerged from the confluence of early transit routes, growing steadily as the anthracite industry brought a frantic, soot-stained energy to the surrounding northeast. This heritage of hard labor and coal-fired ambition eventually gave way to a modern economy defined by professional services, retail commerce, and the quiet rhythm of small-scale enterprise. The town maintains a sturdy connection to its past, favoring the permanence of brick and stone over the fleeting trends of newer developments. Residents often gather near the center to conduct their affairs, maintaining a pace that values consistency over the rapid, jarring transitions seen in larger metropolitan corridors. The local economy thrives on the endurance of these small businesses, which stand as quiet monitors of the regional prosperity.

Clarks Summit fosters a cultural character defined by a deliberate, patient temperament and a strong sense of civic continuity. The Pinnacle Trail draws those who seek a solitary walk through the woods, offering a rare silence that contrasts sharply with the demands of the modern work week. While Duck Pond remains a distant destination for those seeking the stillness of open water, the local landscape provides enough natural variety to satisfy the contemplative mind. The area has seen the growth of notable figures, including the illustrator Christopher Radko, whose work reflects a meticulous attention to detail often found in the local craft. Public life finds its expression in seasonal gatherings and the simple, shared experience of living in a place that changes only by the slow accumulation of seasons.
