Explore Hilltown, 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 Hilltown, 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 Hilltown.
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.

Hilltown reveals itself through the steady, insistent murmur of the Little Equinunk Creek as it carves a path through the dense, verdant terrain. It lies 33.7 miles northeast of Dunmore, PA (from Dunmore, PA: bearing 44°T), and is situated 14.0 miles north-northeast of Honesdale. The landscape surrounding Hilltown is defined by a deep, terrestrial gravity, where the earth rises and falls in long, muscular swells that eventually signal the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Pocono Mountains on the horizon. Only a mile away, the surface of Snyder Pond holds the sky in a mirror of still, dark glass, undisturbed by the rush of modern transit. The air here carries the scent of damp loam and pine needles, a heavy, grounded fragrance that anchors the spirit to the soil. As the light fades, the shadows lengthen across the fields, lending the woods a somber, monastic quality that seems to hold the very history of the plateau in its silence.
Agriculture and a quiet, persistent industry have long dictated the pace of life in Hilltown, where the rhythms of the seasons dictate the labor of the day. The proximity of State Game Land 159 provides a vast, protected expanse of wilderness that defines the periphery of local life, ensuring that the wilder character of the region remains intact against the encroachment of progress. While the echoes of older, agrarian trades linger in the sturdy architecture of the farmsteads, the local economy remains tied to the land, reflecting a heritage of resilience and self-reliance. Residents often venture toward the deeper, more rugged topography of Shingle Hollow, finding in the wider basin a continuity of the same stubborn, inland character that defines the spirit of the place. Life moves with an internal logic, focused on the maintenance of the homestead and the seasonal shifts of the forest, creating a legacy that is felt in the steady hands and quiet endurance of those who call the area home.

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.
