Explore Jonestown, 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 Jonestown, 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 Jonestown.
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.

Jonestown occupies a quiet expanse of the Pennsylvania interior, where the land unfolds in a series of rhythmic, low-slung ridges and fertile lowlands. It lies 6.1 miles northwest of Lebanon, PA (from Lebanon, PA: bearing 325°T), and is situated 9.4 miles northeast of Palmyra. The Little Swatara Creek carves a meditative path through the terrain, its waters reflecting the pale, shifting light of the sky as it moves past the edge of the settlement. Beyond the immediate fields, the horizon holds the faint, bruised silhouettes of the Blue Ridge Mountains, standing as silent sentinels against the sky. While the quiet waters of Stouffer Lake remain a few miles distant, the local atmosphere is defined by the proximity of the Monroe Valley, a basin that holds the cool, heavy air of early mornings. Within the immediate vicinity, Jonestown Community Park provides a green, quiet pause in the day, where the wind stirs the leaves and the earth seems to breathe with a slow, deliberate patience.
Jonestown traces its lineage back to the mid-eighteenth century, emerging from the industrious efforts of early settlers who recognized the potential of the soil and the steady flow of the nearby creek. The economy has long mirrored the broader character of the region, balancing the legacy of agricultural self-reliance with the modern rhythms of a working population that commutes to larger centers of industry. The influence of Pennsylvania Dutch heritage remains a quiet, persistent thread in the local culture, visible in the solid, unadorned architecture and the methodical pace of the seasons. Residents often seek the solitude of the Old Indian Trail, a path that links the present moment to the ancient history of the landscape. Life in Jonestown maintains a grounded, unassuming quality, where the primary concerns remain the changing of the harvest, the maintenance of the homestead, and the simple, enduring connections formed within the small, steady orbit of the neighborhood.

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.
