How to Use This Fountain Springs, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Fountain Springs occupies a rugged expanse of the Allegheny Plateau, where the earth is defined by deep shadows and the persistent, slow heave of the Pennsylvania terrain. It lies 9.0 miles northwest of Pottsville, PA (from Pottsville, PA: bearing 311°T), and is situated 4.9 miles east-southeast of Mount Carmel. The landscape here is characterized by the quiet endurance of timbered ridges and hollows that hold the morning mist long after the sun has climbed above the horizon. To the north, the water of Mahanoy Creek cuts a dark, serpentine path through the soil, carving a slow route toward the lowlands, while Gordon Reservoir remains a still, reflective presence two miles away. Beyond the immediate reach of the woods, the silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains marks the distant edge of the world, a faint blue line that anchors the horizon under a sky that often turns the color of slate.

Fountain Springs bears the marks of a century shaped by the extraction of anthracite, a legacy that lingers in the weathered brick of older foundations and the quiet, industrious spirit of those who remain. The local economy, once tethered to the rhythm of the collieries, has transitioned into a steady, modest pace of life where the hours are measured by the shifting light across the slopes. Residents often gather at the Oakland Avenue Playground, a small patch of clear ground that serves as a focal point for the neighborhood, providing a contrast to the dense, encroaching forest. Life in Fountain Springs unfolds with a deliberate, unadorned clarity, reflecting a history of hard work and the persistent, quiet beauty of a region that has learned to thrive in the wake of its industrial past.
