How to Use This Faxon, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Faxon, Pennsylvania

Faxon is a locality in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,445. The population density is 1179.5 people per km². Faxon is located at 41.2484°N, 76.9772°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 17701.

Faxon occupies a quiet stretch of land defined by the steady, low-slung presence of Millers Run, which cuts through the terrain with a persistent, rhythmic clarity. It lies 1.3 miles east-northeast of Williamsport, PA (from Williamsport, PA: bearing 68°T), and is situated 1.6 miles northeast of South Williamsport. The landscape here leans toward the functional, characterized by broad, open expanses that eventually give way to the deeper, shadowed density of the Tiadaghton State Forest just seven miles to the north. In the distance, the Appalachian Mountains emerge as a faint, jagged charcoal line against the horizon, anchoring the view while leaving the foreground to the modest, utilitarian beauty of the surrounding plains. The air carries a distinct, sharp coolness, especially near the basin of the Devils Turnip Patch, where the light at dusk flattens into a pale, bruised violet that clings to the dry grasses and the edges of the creek bank.

Faxon grew from the deliberate labor of those who recognized the utility of the nearby waterways and the proximity to the timber and transit routes that once defined the regional economy. While the heavy industry of the past has softened into a quieter, more localized pace, the influence of those earlier, industrious years remains visible in the sturdy, unadorned architecture of the older streets. Residents often look toward Bruce E. Henry Park for a sense of open space, or toward the long, winding path of Shaffers Trail for a more deliberate engagement with the land. Life in Faxon moves with a measured, predictable cadence, far removed from the churn of the coast, finding its center in the simple, recurring chores of the season and the quiet expanse of the nearby landscape, including the still, reflective water of The Gut.
