Explore Lake Wynonah, 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 Lake Wynonah, 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 Lake Wynonah.
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.

Lake Wynonah defines the horizon with a sprawling, serpentine expanse of water that mirrors the shifting moods of the Pennsylvania sky. It lies 6.2 miles south-southeast of Pottsville, PA (from Pottsville, PA: bearing 164°T), and is situated 2.2 miles south of Schuylkill Haven. Plum Creek feeds into the basin, its currents tracing the contours of the land before gathering into the stillness of the main reservoir. The surrounding terrain is defined by the deep, wooded topography typical of the region, where the earth rises in firm, shaded slopes that hold the damp scent of pine and loam. Visitors often congregate at E Dock to watch the light fracture across the surface, turning the water into a sheet of hammered pewter as the day wanes. Three miles away, the quiet depth of Werts Hollow provides a contrast to the water’s edge, while the Yellick Path offers a passage through the dense, shadowed timber that blankets the nearby ridges.
History hangs heavy in the soil here, an echo of the industrial legacy that once shaped the broader landscape of the Commonwealth. While the distant Appalachian Mountains provide a faint, jagged silhouette against the western sunset, Lake Wynonah itself operates as a private, gated enclave that has transitioned from the rugged extraction economy of the past into a deliberate sanctuary for residential living. The local rhythm is dictated by the movement of the water and the seasonal shifts in the canopy, moving far beyond the frantic pace of the urban centers to the east. Life here is measured by the clarity of the air and the quiet maintenance of the land, preserving a pocket of stillness that feels entirely removed from the clamor of the outside world.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lake Wynonah, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.591149, -76.170433. 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 Lake Wynonah includes the ZIP code (17922, 17972), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Schuylkill County (Pottsville), and school district assignment (Schuylkill Haven 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.
