How to Use This Lawton, Pennsylvania Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lawton, 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 Lawton.

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.

Lawton emerges from the quiet intersection of rural roads and the persistent, low-slung currents of the East Branch Wyalusing Creek. It lies 33.5 miles northwest of Scranton, PA (from Scranton, PA: bearing 321°T), and is situated 17.0 miles east of Wysox. The landscape surrounding Lawton holds the stillness of the Allegheny Plateau, where the land rises and falls in long, muscular swells of green and brown. A few miles away, the basin of Dark Hollow gathers the evening mist, while the nearby surface of Rigsby Pond reflects the shifting pale light of a late autumn sky. LaRue Park offers a modest clearing where the earth remains undisturbed, providing a vantage point to watch the shadows lengthen across the fields. The air here carries the scent of damp soil and drying stalks, a crisp clarity that defines the transition between the seasons.

Lawton preserves a legacy of persistence, rooted in the agrarian rhythms that have long dictated the pace of life in this corner of the state. Local commerce relies on the steady, unassuming labor of those who manage the surrounding tracts, balancing modern demands with the ancestral memory of the land. While the distant, blue-hued peaks of the Appalachian Mountains remain a hazy fixture on the horizon, the daily reality is measured in the maintenance of fences and the seasonal harvest of timber and grain. The proximity to Tracy Creek State Forest serves as a reminder of the vast, unmanaged reaches beyond the town’s periphery, grounding the residents in a cycle of growth and dormancy that has persisted for generations. Lawton maintains a character of quiet utility, favoring the substance of hard work over the clamor of rapid expansion.
