Explore Jefferson York County, 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 Jefferson York County, 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 Jefferson York County.
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.

Jefferson York County occupies a modest expanse of earth where the landscape settles into the quiet, persistent geometry of the Pennsylvania interior. It lies 7.6 miles east of Hanover, PA (from Hanover, PA: bearing 81°T), and is situated 6.9 miles east-northeast of Parkville. The terrain here is defined by the gentle, rhythmic rising and falling of land, a series of ridges and basins that define the character of Buffalo Valley just a mile to the north. Sunlight catches the edges of the fields at dusk, turning the soil a deep, bruised violet before the shadows stretch long and thin across the grass of Jefferson Borough Square Park. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains marks the horizon, a constant presence that anchors the sky above the open plains and wooded patches. The air carries the scent of turned earth and drying leaves, a stillness that suggests a land that has long ago ceased its restless shifting.
Generations have built upon this ground, finding a livelihood in the cycles of the soil and the steady flow of local commerce that sustains the rhythm of Jefferson York County. Codorus Creek winds through the nearby terrain, its waters serving as a quiet artery for the land, while the nearby surface of Lake Marburg offers a vast, glassy stillness that reflects the changing seasons. The local economy persists with a quiet diligence, moving in time with the needs of the surrounding farms and the small-scale enterprises that keep the pace of daily life predictable and firm. Life here is measured not by the rush of distant centers, but by the maintenance of the square and the maintenance of the traditions that bind the residents to their geography. It is a place where the history of the region remains visible in the brickwork and the layout of the streets, a testament to a settled existence that values the continuity of the day over the noise of the modern world.

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.
