How to Use This East Side, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

East Side rises from the rugged, verdant terrain of Lehigh Gorge State Park, where the insistent pulse of the Lehigh River carves a deep, shadowed path through the ancient stone. It lies 9.3 miles southeast of Mountain Top, PA (from Mountain Top, PA: bearing 143°T), and is situated 7.3 miles east-northeast of Freeland. The air here holds a crisp, mineral clarity, often cooling rapidly as the sun slips behind the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Pocono Mountains. East Side exists in a landscape defined by verticality and the patient accumulation of geologic time, where the dense canopy of the surrounding wilderness muffles the sounds of the modern world. At dusk, the light fractures against the steep slopes, casting long, bruised purples across the moss-covered rocks and the dark, rushing water that dictates the rhythm of the valley floor.

Economic life in East Side remains tethered to the enduring legacy of the surrounding highlands, where the memory of anthracite extraction lingers in the weathered coal-dust foundations of older structures. While the heavy industry of the past has quieted, the local character is defined by a resilient, quiet commerce that serves both the year-round residents and those drawn to the deep woods of the Delaware-Lehigh State Experimental Forest. East Side maintains a steady, deliberate pace, far removed from the frantic pace of the lowlands, favoring a life governed by the seasonal shifts of the forest and the persistent, unyielding current of the Lehigh River. The proximity to natural landmarks, including the cascading water of Hawk Falls and the expansive, rocky barrens of the Boulder Field Trail, ensures that the inhabitants remain intimately connected to the raw, unpolished geography of the region.
