How to Use This Lewistown, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Lewistown emerges from the floor of the Lewistown Valley as a junction of iron and earth, defined by the persistent, cold transit of Beaver Creek. It lies 9.4 miles east-northeast of Pottsville, PA (from Pottsville, PA: bearing 70°T), and is situated 5.4 miles southwest of Tamaqua. The terrain surrounding Lewistown tilts toward the distant Appalachian Mountains, their ridgelines forming a serrated gray inkblot against the pale horizon of the sky. Sunlight here possesses a heavy, amber quality, catching the dust of the fields and illuminating the dense, quiet stands of timber that mark the borders of Sgl 222. Four miles to the north, the waters of Moss Glen Reservoir hold a mirror to the shifting clouds, providing a still, deep counterpoint to the restless movement of the creek as it carves through the limestone foundations of the valley.

Industrial grit and the slow accumulation of generations define the pulse of Lewistown, where the economy was long tempered in the heat of furnaces and the steady rhythm of the rail lines. The local character is forged by a legacy of labor that persists in the brick facades and the sturdy, unadorned architecture of the downtown streets. On quiet afternoons, the atmosphere carries the faint, metallic scent of the past, a lingering shadow of the manufacturing that once anchored the region’s identity. Those seeking the rugged stillness of the interior often venture toward the River of Rocks Trail, where the earth gives way to ancient, fractured stone, reminding the traveler that the bedrock of this place is older and more enduring than the fleeting efforts of those who reside above it.

About This Lewistown Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lewistown, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.597229, -77.571516. 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 Lewistown includes the ZIP code (18252, 17044), 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 (Mifflin County 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.
