How to Use This Elmhurst, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Elmhurst emerges from the quiet intersection of dense, deciduous woodlands and the persistent, rhythmic flow of the Roaring Brook. It lies 5.4 miles east-southeast of Dunmore, PA (from Dunmore, PA: bearing 122°T), and is situated 6.5 miles east-southeast of Scranton. The landscape here is defined by the steady presence of the Elmhurst Reservoir, which captures the sky in its still, dark surface less than a mile from the center of the terrain. To the distant horizon, the Pocono Mountains rise as a faint, serrated indigo line, grounding the view under a vast and shifting sky. In the cool hours of late afternoon, the light filters through the canopy with a peculiar clarity, illuminating the moss-slicked stones that line the bank of the Roaring Brook and lending the air a sharp, clean scent of damp earth and cooling stone.

Elmhurst carries the quiet weight of a regional history deeply informed by the anthracite legacy that once moved through these valleys, though the clamor of industry has long since surrendered to the quietude of a residential corridor. Residents walk the Lackawanna County Trail, which serves as a primary artery for movement, tracing paths where the heavy pulse of earlier commerce once dictated the pace of life. While the grandeur of Nay Aug Falls and the deep, fractured beauty of the Nay Aug Park Gorge lie five miles away, the character of Elmhurst remains defined by its own restrained, inland geography and the transition from the rugged work of the past to a present defined by the slow, seasonal change of the timberlands. The economy here has shifted from the extraction of resources to the maintenance of a steady, localized life, where the stillness of the woods provides a counterpoint to the busy, interconnected world beyond the immediate tree line.
