How to Use This Forest Lake, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Forest Lake, Pennsylvania

Forest Lake is a locality in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 89. The population density is 28.6 people per km². Forest Lake is located at 41.8842°N, 75.9594°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 18801.

Forest Lake reveals itself through the rhythmic pulse of Forest Lake Creek, which carves a modest, persistent channel through the verdant Pennsylvania landscape. It lies 36.2 miles north-northwest of Scranton, PA (from Scranton, PA: bearing 335°T), and is situated 15.0 miles south of Binghamton. The surrounding terrain is defined by the steady, humped geography of the plateau, where the soil holds the damp chill of autumn long after the sun has retreated behind the tree line. Sunlight here does not merely illuminate; it filters through the dense canopy of local timber, casting elongated shadows that stretch across the fields like ink spilled on parchment. While the distant Appalachian Mountains provide a faint, serrated silhouette against the western sky, the immediate vicinity remains dominated by the quietude of the woods and the slow, deliberate movement of water over moss-slicked stones.

History at Forest Lake remains etched in the foundation of aging farmsteads and the remnants of rural industry that once relied on the steady flow of the local creek to power small-scale milling. The economic life of the region has shifted away from these early water-driven enterprises, settling instead into a quiet endurance rooted in agriculture and the stewardship of the land. Residents find respite in the simple, managed greenery of Charles E. Small Park, a space that serves as a communal anchor, while the nearby waters of Cranberry Lake offer a reflective stillness that mirrors the changing seasons. The character of Forest Lake is forged by this measured pace, where the passage of time is measured not by the ticking of a clock, but by the gradual encroachment of Tracy Creek State Forest and the seasonal labor required to keep the earth yielding.
