Explore Forksville, Pennsylvania, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Forksville, 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 Forksville.
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.

Forksville occupies a narrow, verdant basin where the cool, clear waters of the Loyalsock Creek carve a steady path through the landscape. It lies 26.8 miles northeast of Williamsport, PA (from Williamsport, PA: bearing 50°T), and is situated 18.1 miles north-northeast of Hughesville. The terrain rises sharply from the creek banks, giving way to a dense, forested expanse that reaches toward the distant, hazy outline of the Appalachian Mountains. Only two miles away, the quiet stillness of Maple Lake offers a contrast to the rhythmic, perennial movement of the creek, while the mist that clings to the trees at dawn seems to hold the very breath of the valley. Nearby, the water cascading down Cold Run Road Falls provides a sharp, percussive sound that punctuates the otherwise hushed, heavy atmosphere of the deep woods.
Forksville serves as a gateway to the rugged interior, with the World End Trail offering a passage for those who wish to traverse the ridges that define this sequestered corner of the state. The economy remains tethered to the timber and the land, reflecting a heritage defined by the slow, deliberate work of the forest, much of which is preserved within the protected boundaries of the nearby Loyalsock State Forest. Life in Forksville centers on the small, communal spaces like Forksville Borough Park, where the pace is governed by the turning of the seasons rather than the urgency of the outside world. This is a place where the history of industry has softened into a quiet, enduring presence, allowing the residents to maintain a life that feels as grounded and steady as the stone-filled bed of the Loyalsock Creek itself.

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.
