Explore Cross Fork, Pennsylvania, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cross Fork, 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 Cross Fork.
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.

Cross Fork anchors itself firmly within the dense, verdant expanse of the Susquehannock State Forest, where the landscape is defined by the sharp, steep inclines of Dry Hollow. It lies 38.8 miles east of Saint Marys, PA (from Saint Marys, PA: bearing 84°T), and is situated 30.6 miles northwest of Lock Haven. Kettle Creek carves a persistent path through the terrain, its waters reflecting the deep, mossy greens of the surrounding canopy and the sudden, flickering light that breaks through the trees at dusk. The air here holds a crisp, persistent chill, carrying the scent of damp hemlock and shale, while the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains frame the horizon to the west. Far from the reach of any coastline, the environment is one of absolute inland isolation, where the only vastness is the sky above the ridges and the shadowed depth of the timberland.
Economic life in Cross Fork remains tied to the rhythms of the seasons and the rugged topography that discouraged large-scale industrial sprawl. Historically, the area hummed with the labor of timber harvesting, a legacy still etched into the quiet, functional architecture of the buildings that line the roads. Visitors who traverse the Leib Run Trail find a silence that feels heavy and deliberate, a stark contrast to the distant, bustling centers of industry found elsewhere in the Commonwealth. Those seeking a change in scenery sometimes travel the nine miles to Renovo Reservoir, though the true character of Cross Fork persists in its stillness, where the pace of the day is measured by the slow, steady movement of the creek and the enduring endurance of the forest.

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.
