How to Use This Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Elizabethtown maintains a quiet presence amidst the fertile, undulating landscape of southeastern Pennsylvania. It lies 9.2 miles south-southeast of Swatara, PA (from Swatara, PA: bearing 159°T), and is situated 9.5 miles south-southeast of Hershey. Conoy Creek carves a persistent path through the local terrain, serving as a constant companion to the residents who live along its banks. The horizon is defined by the distant silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which loom twenty-one miles away like a soft, permanent shadow against the sky. Those seeking to connect with the land often wander through the Elizabethtown Borough Community Park, a space where the rhythm of the seasons remains clearly visible in the changing leaves. On clear days, the light catches the distant geometry of the York Valley, grounding the entire region in a sense of geological permanence.

Elizabethtown began as a modest settlement, slowly evolving through the labor of those who recognized the value of its position between larger regional centers. The local economy has shifted over generations, moving from a foundation of agrarian productivity toward a mix of modern industry and small-scale enterprise. While the heavy manufacturing that once defined parts of the state remains a distant memory, the spirit of craftsmanship lingers in the way local businesses operate today. The town functions with a steady, deliberate pace, reflecting the industrious nature of the people who shaped its early streets. Visitors might find the quiet efficiency of the local shops a sharp contrast to the frantic energy found in larger, more densely populated districts.

Elizabethtown possesses a distinct character shaped by its academic and social institutions, most notably the presence of Elizabethtown College. The institution serves as a focal point for intellectual activity, often drawing students and faculty into the daily life of the surrounding streets. Life here often centers on community events that mark the passage of the year, bringing neighbors together in a shared experience of place. While famous individuals like the noted author and peace activist Scott Nearing have ties to the broader region, the town itself prefers a more understated reputation built on consistency and neighborly connection. The nearby Conewago Falls provides a dramatic, rushing contrast to the stillness of Lewis Lake, offering two distinct ways to experience the water that flows through this corner of the state.
