How to Use This Hummelstown, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Hummelstown sits at the edge of a fertile basin where the Swatara Creek carves a slow, deliberate path through the limestone-rich soil of the Pennsylvania landscape. It lies 2.3 miles west-southwest of Swatara, PA (from Swatara, PA: bearing 250°T), and is situated 9.3 miles east of Harrisburg. The air here holds the dry, crisp weight of an inland basin, sharpening the edges of the red-brick facades and the slate roofs that define the local architecture. To the northwest, the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Blue Ridge Mountains provide a constant, muted boundary against the changing sky, while the immediate terrain offers a quiet relief of low fields and dense woodlots. Within the municipal limits, Herbert A. Schaffner Park provides a green corridor where the water and the land meet, offering a space for the town to breathe between the persistent hum of modern transit and the stillness of the surrounding valley.

Hummelstown carries a deliberate pace, anchored by a history of early industry that once relied on the proximity of the creek and the productivity of the surrounding farms. The local economy has evolved from its agrarian and milling foundations, yet the character of the place remains firmly rooted in a sense of steady, generational continuity. The influence of the broader region is felt in the orderly arrangement of the streets, where the brickwork speaks to an era of craftsmanship that has survived the transition into a commuter-focused age. Life in Hummelstown flows with a quiet predictability, marked by the changing light on the water and the rhythms of a society that values its connection to the immediate, tangible geography of the valley.

About This Hummelstown Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hummelstown, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.265368, -76.708303. 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 Hummelstown includes the ZIP code (17036), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Dauphin County (Harrisburg), and school district assignment (Lower Dauphin 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.
