How to Use This Hughestown, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Hughestown maintains a steadfast presence upon the uneven, elevated terrain that characterizes this portion of the Allegheny Plateau. It lies 7.8 miles northeast of Kingston, PA (from Kingston, PA: bearing 55°T), and is situated 8.1 miles southwest of Scranton. The land here does not offer the dramatic verticality of the distant Pocono Mountains, yet it possesses a distinct gravity, marked by the proximity of the Susquehanna River, which carves a deliberate path through the basin just a mile away. Residents find a quiet refuge within the boundaries of Robert Yaple Memorial Park, where the canopy provides a cooling shade that shifts with the long, amber light of late afternoon. Beyond the immediate municipal limits, the landscape deepens into the shadows of Dark Hollow, and those seeking the movement of water often travel toward the falls of Whirlpool Canyon Falls or the quiet expanse of Campbells Ledge Reservoir to witness the rugged, unadorned geology of the region.

Anthracite memory lingers in the foundations of Hughestown, a legacy of an era when the earth itself provided the primary industry for every household. The economy has long since shifted away from the heavy extraction that once defined the labor of the valley, leaving behind a quietude that settles over the streets as the sun dips behind the western ridges. Daily life follows a steady, unadorned pace, sustained by the pride of families who have occupied these homes for generations. While the roar of industry has faded, the character of the locality remains tethered to the grit and practical labor of its history, and those who walk the nearby Pinnacle Trail often encounter a stillness that suggests the land is slowly reclaiming the scars left by the pick and the rail.
