Explore Laporte, 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 Laporte, 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 Laporte.
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.

Laporte serves as a high-altitude sanctuary where the crisp, thin air seems to polish the light until it glints sharply off the surface of Mokoma Lake. It lies 28.9 miles north-northwest of Berwick, PA (from Berwick, PA: bearing 332°T), and is situated 17.4 miles northeast of Hughesville. Mill Creek carves a quiet, persistent path through the landscape, its waters cold and clear as they slip past the verdant edges of Sullivan County Public Park. To the horizon, the distant silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains frame a plateau defined by dense, ancient timber, while the terrain toward Black Hollow drops away into deep, shadowed basins. Sunlight here possesses a brittle, autumnal clarity, illuminating the moss-slicked stones of Dutchman Falls and casting long, indigo shadows that stretch across the forest floor as dusk settles over the high ground.
Laporte maintains a singular, measured pace that reflects its origins as a seat of governance carved from the rugged wilderness of the plateau. The local economy and daily rhythms remain tethered to the stewardship of the land, with the nearby Loyalsock State Forest providing a vast, living backdrop for those who navigate the Pole Bridge Trail. While the industry of the past relied heavily on the timber that once dominated the regional economy, the modern character of the place is defined by a quiet resilience and a profound connection to the surrounding woods. Architecture here retains a sturdy, unpretentious quality, with structures built to withstand the heavy winters that transform the landscape into a silent, white expanse, grounding the identity of Laporte in the enduring physical reality of the Pennsylvania highlands.

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.
