How to Use This Ferndale, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Ferndale anchors itself firmly against the earth, defined by the persistent, rhythmic pulse of Stony Run as it cuts through the local landscape. It lies 11.9 miles south of Berwick, PA (from Berwick, PA: bearing 183°T), and is situated 4.8 miles north-northwest of Shenandoah. The ground rises in modest, weathered swells, providing a sturdy base for the homes and structures that define the physical character of Ferndale. Sunlight here often arrives filtered through the haze of the interior, catching the gray-toned stones and deep, fertile soil that define the regional character. Only a few miles away, the Ringtown Reservoir holds a quiet, glass-like stillness, reflecting the changing seasons above the water, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains serves as a constant, immovable boundary on the horizon.

Economic life in Ferndale retains the echoes of an industrial past, shaped by the hard-won lessons of the anthracite era that once fueled the region’s growth. The land reflects this legacy, where the remnants of earlier labor have softened into a landscape of quiet utility and slow, deliberate commerce. Residents often look toward the Ringtown Valley Recreation Complex Expansion for a sense of open space, finding a deliberate pace that keeps the days connected to the land. When the light fades, the atmosphere grows heavy and cool, carrying the scent of damp earth and woodsmoke from the valley floor. Even the distant, cascading rush of Tomhicken Falls feels like a rhythmic accompaniment to the steady, unadorned work of the people who make their lives in this corner of the state.
