How to Use This Hunlock Creek, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Hunlock Creek defines the terrain, carving a narrow, persistent path through the dense, verdant folds of the landscape where the air holds the damp, cool weight of the surrounding woodlands. It lies 3.2 miles west of Nanticoke, PA (from Nanticoke, PA: bearing 271°T), and is situated 10.0 miles west-southwest of Wilkes-Barre. The ground here rises in stubborn, irregular swells of earth, cloaked in thickets that transition toward the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Pocono Mountains on the horizon. Only two miles to the north, the quiet surface of Lingertots Pond catches the low, slanted light of late afternoon, mirroring the hemlocks that crowd its perimeter. Just a mile away, the expansive, unmanaged wild of State Game Land 224 offers a sprawling refuge of brush and timber, providing a stark, silent contrast to the intermittent hum of traffic on the nearby roads.

History in Hunlock Creek lingers in the quiet persistence of its inhabitants, who have long looked toward the land for their sustenance, whether through the labor of the soil or the industrial echoes of the region’s anthracite past. The economy here remains tethered to the rhythm of the immediate landscape, moving at a pace dictated by the seasons rather than the frantic pulse of the distant cities. Residents often find their way toward the deeper silence of Nevel Hollow, six miles away, where the terrain narrows into a secluded basin that feels entirely removed from the modern world. Life in Hunlock Creek is a matter of practical endurance, marked by the smell of woodsmoke in the autumn and the steady, unremarkable flow of the water that gives the place its name.
