Explore Larksville, 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 Larksville, 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 Larksville.
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.

Larksville anchors itself firmly within the basin of the Wyoming Valley, where the land holds the quiet gravity of a long-settled interior. It lies 2.1 miles west-southwest of Kingston, PA (from Kingston, PA: bearing 237°T), and is situated 2.6 miles west of Wilkes-Barre. The Susquehanna River carves a deliberate path through the landscape, its heavy, dark currents reflecting the shifting gray of a Pennsylvania sky. Beyond the immediate banks, the terrain rises into the modest, steady slopes that mark the edge of the Appalachian plateau, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Pocono Mountains defines the eastern horizon. On quiet evenings, the air carries a crisp, earthen scent from the nearby Richard Island, and the surface of South Pond, only two miles distant, settles into a glass-like stillness that captures the amber light of the setting sun.
Larksville bears the deep, indelible marks of an anthracite history, where the once-thrumming pulse of coal extraction defined the rhythm of every household and storefront. Though the deep-shaft mines have long since fallen silent, the legacy of that era remains etched into the architecture of the streets and the collective memory of those who walk them. The local economy has shifted away from the soot and iron of the past, yet the area retains a stubborn, industrious character that values endurance over flash. Residents might travel six miles to witness the raw, cascading power of Whirlpool Canyon Falls, a reminder of the wilder forces that shaped the valley long before the first breaker was built. Life in Larksville moves with a measured, deliberate pace, anchored by the enduring presence of the river and the quiet, persistent vitality of a place that has seen its landscape transformed by the hands of its people.

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.
