How to Use This Folsom, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Folsom, Pennsylvania

Folsom is a locality in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, United States. It has a population of approximately 8,287. The population density is 2559.7 people per km². Folsom is located at 39.8898°N, 75.3252°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 19033.

Folsom occupies a quiet expanse of land where the steady flow of the Little Crum Creek defines the natural boundaries of the neighborhood. It lies 2.0 miles east of Wallingford, PA (from Wallingford, PA: bearing 92°T), and is situated 9.6 miles west-southwest of Philadelphia. The terrain remains inland, far from any salt air, characterized instead by a modest, consistent elevation that keeps the horizon grounded. Residents often walk the paths of Clark Avenue Park, a local space that provides a green anchor for the surrounding residential streets. During the late afternoon, the light filters through the trees with a clarity that renders the simple geometry of the houses sharp and distinct. The distant Appalachian Mountains remain a hazy suggestion on the far horizon, far removed from the immediate, tangible earth of the local landscape.

Folsom maintains a history deeply tied to the broader industrial shifts of the region, where the steady pulse of labor once dictated the daily rhythm of the streets. Early development relied on the proximity to transit lines, which allowed the local economy to transition from agricultural roots to a stable, suburban residential base. Small-scale commerce and service-oriented businesses now form the backbone of the local industry, reflecting a pragmatic approach to modern economic life. One might observe the legacy of this work in the solid brick architecture that persists, lending a sense of permanence to the commercial corridors. While the heavy manufacturing of the past has largely receded, the industrious spirit remains embedded in the way the local shops and services function today. The nearby presence of Ridley Park Lake serves as a reminder of the area’s long-standing reliance on its internal geography for both utility and recreation.

Folsom possesses a character shaped by its residents, who value the quiet persistence of a life lived away from the frantic pace of larger urban centers. Community gatherings often center around the activities held at Clark Avenue Park, where seasonal events bring neighbors together in an unpretentious display of local solidarity. The atmosphere remains understated, favoring a deliberate pace that allows for the observation of subtle changes in the turning of the seasons. While Folsom does not seek to draw national attention, it remains a place where the focus is firmly on the immediate, tangible connections between people. The landscape itself, marked by the persistent, quiet presence of the Little Crum Creek, encourages a contemplative approach to the passing of time. This environment fosters a sense of groundedness, allowing the daily life of the residents to unfold without the need for grand gestures or external validation.

About This Folsom Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Folsom, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 39.889835, -75.325188. 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 Folsom includes the ZIP code (19033), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Delaware County (Media), and school district assignment (Ridley 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.
