How to Use This Hudson, Pennsylvania Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Hudson, 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 Hudson.
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 Hudson, Pennsylvania
Hudson is a locality in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,436. The population density is 1466.8 people per km². Hudson is located at 41.2772°N, 75.8312°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 16866, 18705.Hudson emerges from the landscape as a collection of sturdy, purposeful structures defined by the persistent flow of Mill Creek, which cuts a quiet path through the terrain. It lies 3.1 miles northeast of Wilkes Barre, PA (from Wilkes Barre, PA: bearing 50°T), and is situated 3.1 miles northeast of Wilkes-Barre. The air here holds the cooling influence of the distant Pocono Mountains, visible as a soft, bruised purple line against the horizon. Within the immediate vicinity, the earth gathers into the gentle depression of Deep Hollow, while the proximity to Irishtown Park offers a sliver of preserved green space that anchors the local geography. The light in the late afternoon catches the water of the nearby Meadow Run Lake, turning its surface into a sheet of hammered silver that contrasts with the muted, earthy tones of the surrounding valley floor.
Hudson carries the weight of a regional history forged in the dark, industrious labor of the anthracite era, where the economy was once tethered to the deep seams of the earth. The rhythm of daily life here remains connected to this legacy, evidenced by the brick facades and the modest, persistent architecture that has outlasted the heavy machinery of the past. Residents move through the day with a quiet familiarity, crossing paths near the local landmarks that define their collective memory. The transition from the intensity of old industrial output to the current, quieter pace has left a landscape that feels settled and observant, as if the buildings themselves are waiting for the next slow turn of the season.

About This Hudson Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hudson, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 41.277249, -75.831171. 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 Hudson includes the ZIP code (16866, 18705), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Luzerne County (Wilkes-Barre), and school district assignment (Wilkes-Barre Area School District).
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.
