How to Use This Forest Hills, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Forest Hills emerges from the rugged terrain of the Allegheny Plateau as a collection of steep ridges and deep, verdant pockets of land. It lies 3.2 miles north-northwest of Colonial Park, PA (from Colonial Park, PA: bearing 334°T), and is situated 5.3 miles north-northeast of Harrisburg. The landscape is defined by the earth’s persistent verticality, where the ground rises and falls in long, muscular swells that eventually yield to the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains on the horizon. Within the immediate reach of the soil, the atmosphere holds a particular sharpness, especially when the light of late afternoon catches the canopy of Forest Hills Park, casting long, bruised-purple shadows across the manicured lawns. A mile away, the quiet passage of Paxton Creek cuts through the shale, its movement a rhythmic, persistent companion to the stillness of the woods that stretch toward the more expansive cover of Haldeman State Forest.

Industry and the echoes of a transformative past linger in the architecture of Forest Hills, where the stone foundations and brick facades speak to a time when regional labor anchored the local economy. Beyond the residential avenues, the proximity of the Darlington Trail offers a path for those who seek the solitude of the timber, a stark contrast to the industrious pulse that once defined the wider region’s output. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of a place that understands the weight of its own geography, far removed from the pressures of the lowlands. Residents often find their way toward Wildwood Lake, where the water mirrors the shifting gray of the sky, serving as a quiet focal point for a locality that prefers the steady, grounded reliability of the inland hills over the frantic pace of the wider world.
