How to Use This Cumbola, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Cumbola, Pennsylvania

Cumbola is a locality in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 371. The population density is 359.9 people per km². Cumbola is located at 40.7118°N, 76.1377°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 17930.

Cumbola occupies a narrow, rugged crease in the earth where the land seems to hold its breath against the encroaching slopes. It lies 3.5 miles east-northeast of Pottsville, PA (from Pottsville, PA: bearing 59°T), and is situated 5.9 miles north-northeast of Schuylkill Haven. The Schuylkill River carves a dark, insistent path just a short distance from the cluster of houses, its waters moving with a deliberate, cold gravity that reflects the deep gray of the Pennsylvania sky. Beyond the immediate terrain, the distant silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains form a jagged, hazy serration against the horizon, marking the outer limits of this confined, high-altitude world. At Cumbola Recreation Park, the air carries a crisp, mineral sharpness, particularly when the light of late afternoon flattens the shadows and turns the surrounding woods into a muted study of rust and slate.

History here is written in the sharp angles of the topography and the lingering remnants of an economy once bound to the extraction of coal. While the industry that carved these hollows has long since receded, the character of Cumbola remains defined by a stubborn, quiet resilience that mirrors the stony ground. Residents often look toward Tumbling Run Reservoir Number Two when the heat of summer settles over the valley, finding a stillness there that contrasts with the restless energy of the river. Life moves at a pace dictated by the steepness of the hills and the seasonal change of the timber, far removed from the frantic commerce of the lowland plains. It is a place where the architecture of the past—simple, sturdy dwellings—remains anchored to the hillside, watching over a landscape that has traded the clamor of the mine for the slow, persistent reclamation of the forest.

About This Cumbola Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cumbola, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.711756, -76.137717. 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 Cumbola includes the ZIP code (17930), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Schuylkill County (Pottsville), and school district assignment (St. Clair 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.
