How to Use This Intercourse, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Intercourse, Pennsylvania

Intercourse is a locality in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,494. The population density is 273.6 people per km². Intercourse is located at 40.0376°N, 76.1050°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 17529, 17534, 17572.

Intercourse emerges from the flat, fertile expanse of the Pennsylvania Dutch country, a place where the horizon is defined by the sharp geometry of tilled fields and the persistent, quiet presence of the Watson Run. It lies 10.6 miles south-southeast of Ephrata, PA (from Ephrata, PA: bearing 158°T), and is situated 9.9 miles east-northeast of Willow Street. Here, the light of late afternoon catches the dust rising from unpaved lanes, casting long, bruised shadows against the limestone foundations of old barns. Four miles to the west, the rise of Wolf Rock Hill breaks the monotony of the plains, while the distant Appalachian Mountains hang like a pale, serrated blade against the northern sky. Within the immediate reach of the soil, Leacock Township Park provides a measured space of green, offering a quiet vantage point to observe the slow, deliberate turn of the seasons across the limestone-rich earth.

Intercourse carries the weight of a long-settled agrarian heritage, where the economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the harvest and the craft of the local hand. The commerce of the intersection—a convergence of trade routes that historically drew farmers and travelers alike—persists in the form of markets and workshops that favor tradition over the frantic pace of modern industry. Five miles away, the New Holland Reservoir holds a still, reflective surface that mirrors the gray-blue Pennsylvania sky, a silent anchor to the surrounding fields. The culture of Intercourse is found in the stillness of a Sunday morning or the steady clip of iron-rimmed wheels on asphalt, a life governed by the necessity of the crop and the endurance of a faith that keeps the modern world at a distance.

About This Intercourse Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Intercourse, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.0376, -76.104953. 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 Intercourse includes the ZIP code (17529, 17534, 17572), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Lancaster County (Lancaster), and school district assignment (Pequea Valley 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.
