How to Use This Elim, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Elim, Pennsylvania

Elim is a locality in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,364. The population density is 651.4 people per km². Elim is located at 40.2972°N, 78.9455°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 17566, 15905.

Elim reveals itself in the quiet geometry of pastures and the slow, deliberate turn of the seasons across the Pennsylvania landscape. It lies 20.5 miles southwest of Coatesville, PA (from Coatesville, PA: bearing 227°T), and is situated 8.7 miles northwest of Calvert. The terrain here is defined by a series of low, earth-toned rises that hold the morning mist, grounding Elim in a quietude that feels permanent and unbothered by the frantic pace of the wider world. To the west, the land softens into the verdant embrace of William Penn State Forest, while the immediate periphery is defined by the steady, unassuming flow of Reynolds Run. Sunlight here has a particular quality at dusk, thick and golden, catching the edges of the fields in Little Britain Township Park and casting long, amber shadows that stretch toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains.

Agriculture remains the silent pulse of Elim, where the soil is turned with a reverence inherited from generations who recognized the value of the dark, fertile loam. The legacy of the region manifests in the sturdy, fieldstone foundations of older structures, built to weather the frost of inland winters and the humid weight of July. Residents often look toward Octoraro Lake for a respite from the heat, or trace the paths that eventually connect to the Mason-Dixon Trail, finding in these movements a rhythm that honors the land's utility. There is a profound sense of continuity in how the days unfold, where the local economy—rooted in the yield of the earth and the maintenance of the homestead—ensures that Elim remains a place defined by its own internal gravity rather than outside influence.
