Explore Jamestown, Pennsylvania, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Jamestown, 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 Jamestown.
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.

Jamestown holds a quiet vigil over the banks of the Lehigh River, where the water cuts a persistent, obsidian path through the terrestrial fold. It lies 15.6 miles northwest of Northampton, PA (from Northampton, PA: bearing 314°T), and is situated 6.0 miles west-northwest of Palmerton. This inland corridor is defined by the Mahoning Valley, a low-slung expanse that catches the heavy, golden light of late afternoon, casting long shadows across the fields that stretch toward the Lehighton Reservoirs. Beyond the immediate terrain, the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Pocono Mountains provide a jagged, permanent horizon, anchoring the region in a landscape of sturdy earth and encroaching woodland. The air here carries the faint, crisp scent of dampened soil and turning leaves, a reminder that the Delaware-Lehigh State Experimental Forest remains a watchful presence just over the ridge.
Jamestown preserves the steady, rhythmic pulse of a place shaped by the industry of earlier generations, where the hardscrabble legacy of the local soil dictates the pace of the morning. While the echoes of past commerce still linger in the architecture of the older streets, the modern economy leans into a slower, more deliberate cadence, supported by the proximity of Colonel Jacob Weiss Park, where the community finds a patch of managed green space for reflection. The residents move with an unforced familiarity, navigating the transition between the working hours and the stillness of dusk, when the river reflects the graying sky. Life in Jamestown is measured not by the velocity of the outside world, but by the subtle shifts in the seasons that transform the valley floor from a vibrant, humid green to a muted, skeletal brown.

Detailed location data for Jamestown includes the ZIP code (15946, 16134), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Carbon County (Jim Thorpe), and school district assignment (Jamestown 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.
