Explore Freeport, 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 Freeport, 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 Freeport.
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.

Freeport defines the sharp convergence of verdant slopes and the persistent, carving motion of Sixteenmile Creek. It lies 8.0 miles northeast of Harborcreek, PA (from Harborcreek, PA: bearing 50°T), and is situated 1.7 miles north of North East. The landscape rises in heavy, sedimented layers from the creek bed, where the air holds the damp, metallic scent of deep earth and moss even during the height of a dry summer. Light here behaves with a peculiar gravity, catching the edges of the limestone strata and turning the common gray stone into something luminous and cold. Residents often gather at Freeport Beach Park, a local space that serves as a quiet anchor where the land meets the water’s edge, offering a vantage point to watch the slow, rhythmic movement of the currents against the bank.
History in Freeport remains written in the quiet endurance of its infrastructure and the remnants of trades that once fueled the local economy. Though the industrial clamor of previous generations has softened, the character of the place persists in the sturdy, unadorned architecture that lines the streets and the collective memory of those who work the inland terrain. Beyond the immediate reach of the settlement, the terrain shifts toward the rugged profile of the Appalachian Mountains visible on the far horizon, while the nearby Gage Gulf deepens the shadows that stretch across the afternoon. Life in Freeport follows the pace of the seasons, marked by the transformation of the surrounding woods and the persistent, steady flow of the creek that has watched the settlement mature through decades of quiet labor.

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.
