How to Use This Cresco, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Cresco emerges from the dense, verdant folds of the landscape where the cool, persistent waters of Cranberry Creek trace a silver thread through the undergrowth. It lies 10.4 miles north-northwest of Stroud, PA (from Stroud, PA: bearing 340°T), and is situated 8.3 miles north-northwest of Penn Estates. The air here holds a crisp, high-altitude clarity, filtered by the dense canopy that defines the local terrain and spills into the expansive reach of State Game Land 221. To the horizon, the silhouette of the Pocono Mountains rises in jagged, muted layers of slate and charcoal, guarding the borders of the basin. The light in late afternoon catches the damp stones of the creek bed, turning the water into a shifting mosaic of amber and shadow, a quiet reminder of the geology that shapes every incline and hollow in this rugged, inland terrain.

Cresco carries the quiet weight of an economy once tethered to the iron rails and the seasonal influx of travelers seeking the mountain air. While the grand resorts of a bygone era have faded, the identity of the place remains anchored to its proximity to the wilder reaches of the woods and the deep, silent geography of Redrock Glen. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, where the local rhythm is dictated by the turning leaves and the first frost that settles over the clearings. Those who traverse the region often look toward the distant, tranquil surface of Taylor Pond or find their own path through the thickets, honoring a landscape that values the unadorned strength of its earth and the enduring, solitary character of its people.
