How to Use This Elysburg, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Elysburg, Pennsylvania

Elysburg is a locality in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,152. The population density is 284.9 people per km². Elysburg is located at 40.8645°N, 76.5525°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 17824.

Elysburg occupies a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of ridge-and-valley topography, where the land rises and falls in long, rhythmic folds of earth. It lies 10.9 miles south-southwest of Bloomsburg, PA (from Bloomsburg, PA: bearing 208°T), and is situated 5.2 miles north of Shamokin. The horizon remains dominated by the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains, which stand as silent guardians over the local horizon. A short distance away, the waters of Little Roaring Creek trace a path through the woodland, offering a cool, perennial presence that shapes the surrounding soil and vegetation. At the West Valley Avenue Recreation Complex, the grass holds a particular shade of green that deepens as the sun dips behind the western ridges, casting long, lean shadows across the open fields. Beyond the immediate terrain, the landscape opens toward the expanse of Brush Valley, while the stillness of Number Four Reservoir provides a reflective surface that captures the shifting colors of the Pennsylvania sky.

Elysburg maintains a character tied to the steady, modest labor of the interior, where the economy has long transitioned from the early extraction industries to a more balanced life of local service and regional commerce. The rhythm of the days moves in harmony with the changing seasons, marked by the slow turn of agricultural cycles and the quiet maintenance of the local infrastructure. People here carry a sense of place that is unforced, rooted in a history of settlement that values the durable over the ephemeral. Whether passing through the West Valley Avenue Recreation Complex or traveling toward the more rugged elevations in the distance, one notices the deliberate pace of a life that prefers the substance of the earth to the frantic speed of the modern world. It is a place where the architecture of the streets and the quiet industry of the residents reflect a commitment to a life lived plainly and well.

About This Elysburg Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Elysburg, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.864531, -76.552456. 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 Elysburg includes the ZIP code (17824), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Northumberland County (Sunbury), and school district assignment (Southern Columbia 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.
