How to Use This Iola, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Iola, Pennsylvania

Iola is a locality in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 154. The population density is 218.6 people per km². Iola is located at 41.1365°N, 76.5316°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 17846.

Iola defines the quiet confluence of earth and water where the Little Fishing Creek carves a persistent, silver path through the Pennsylvania landscape. It lies 10.0 miles north-northwest of Bloomsburg, PA (from Bloomsburg, PA: bearing 337°T), and is situated 16.5 miles west-northwest of Berwick. The terrain surrounding Iola rises in soft, deliberate folds, suggesting the distant, hazy blue presence of the Appalachian Mountains that anchor the horizon some sixty-seven miles away. To the west, the land dips into the sheltered depression of California Hollow, while a short distance to the north, the surface of Valley View Lake holds the reflection of the sky in a stillness that contrasts with the constant, murmuring motion of the nearby creek. The air here carries the scent of damp loam and cooling shale, a pervasive earthiness that deepens as the light fades into a long, bruised violet dusk across the fields.

Agriculture remains the quiet pulse of the local economy, with fences marking off parcels that have been worked by successive generations who understand the temperament of the soil. Beyond the private pastures, the open grounds of Millville Community Park offer a space for neighbors to gather, preserving a sense of communal openness that has long characterized the region’s development. The physical character of the buildings reflects a practical, unadorned history, constructed from materials pulled from the immediate reach of the woods and the nearby stream beds. Life moves in accordance with the seasonal shifts of the fields and the rise and fall of the water level in the creek, maintaining a steady, grounded pace that values the weight of tradition over the fleeting currents of modern industry.

About This Iola Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Iola, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 41.136474, -76.531616. 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 Iola includes the ZIP code (17846), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Columbia County (Bloomsburg), and school district assignment (Millville 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.
