Explore Falmouth, Pennsylvania, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Falmouth, 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 Falmouth.
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.

Falmouth occupies a position of quiet consequence where the restless, churning waters of the Conewago Creek carve their path through the earth. It lies 6.1 miles west-southwest of Elizabethtown, PA (from Elizabethtown, PA: bearing 255°T), and is situated 9.9 miles southeast of Steelton. The landscape surrounding Falmouth remains defined by the persistent hydraulic energy of the Conewago Falls, which tumble over jagged bedrock just as the land begins to rise toward the distant silhouettes of the Blue Ridge Mountains. A mile away, the stillness of Lewis Lake offers a stark contrast to the nearby riverine turbulence, its surface reflecting the shifting gray and amber hues of an inland sky. The air here carries the scent of damp shale and alluvial soil, a terrestrial perfume that lingers long after the sun dips behind the western ridges.
Conoy Canal Park serves as the modern threshold to a history built upon the industrious movement of goods and the slow, deliberate pace of canal commerce. Falmouth retains the weathered character of a place that once thrived on the labor of the waterways, where the economy transitioned from the hydraulic power of early milling to a more contemplative, agrarian quietude. The remnants of old stone foundations and the remnants of towpaths serve as silent markers of a time when the region’s vitality was bound to the labor of the canal. Life in Falmouth continues with a steady, unadorned rhythm, as residents move through their days under the canopy of mature hardwoods, tethered to a landscape that honors the persistence of the water and the sturdy, enduring legacy of the land itself.

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.
