How to Use This Greenstone, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Greenstone, Pennsylvania

Greenstone is a locality in Adams County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 280. The population density is 8.0 people per km². Greenstone is located at 39.7518°N, 77.4497°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 17320, 15628.

Greenstone emerges from the quiet intersection of agricultural persistence and the heavy, verdant shadow of the nearby Michaux State Forest. It lies 6.8 miles east of Waynesboro, PA (from Waynesboro, PA: bearing 92°T), and is situated 9.1 miles north-northwest of Thurmont. The landscape around Greenstone is defined by the persistent presence of Miney Branch, which carves a modest, winding path through the local terrain, offering a cool, perennial rhythm to the valley floor. To the west, the distant silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains anchors the horizon in a hazy, atmospheric violet, while the immediate surroundings remain dominated by the dense, timbered canopy of the nearby Mont Alto State Forest. The air here holds a distinct, earthy weight, particularly in the late afternoon when the sun slips behind the higher ridges, casting long, deliberate shadows that stretch across the fields of Cove Hollow.

History in Greenstone is marked by the slow, deliberate work of those who cleared the timber and broke the soil for orchard and grain. The local economy persists as a quiet extension of this heritage, favoring small-scale production and a measured pace that resists the frantic acceleration of the modern corridor. Residents often find their way toward the Warrior Trail, where the paths offer a tangible connection to the rugged, interior geography of the region. While life remains centered on the daily rhythms of the land, the presence of the distant Fishing Creek Reservoir serves as a reminder of the water that sustains the wider basin. The character of Greenstone remains defined by its stillness, a place where the passage of time is measured not by clocks, but by the changing density of the woods and the seasonal shifts in the light.

About This Greenstone Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Greenstone, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 39.751761, -77.449711. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Greenstone includes the ZIP code (17320, 15628), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Adams County (Gettysburg), and school district assignment.

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.
