Explore Lime Ridge, 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 Lime Ridge, 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 Lime Ridge.
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.

Lime Ridge occupies a steady, terrestrial expanse where the Susquehanna River carves a deliberate path through the earth, marking the land with a weight that defines the horizon. It lies 5.8 miles west-southwest of Berwick, PA (from Berwick, PA: bearing 252°T), and is situated 6.3 miles east-northeast of Bloomsburg. The landscape unfolds in a series of earthen shelves and depressions, characterized by a quiet stability that reaches toward the distant Appalachian Mountains, visible as a faint, serrated bruise against the western sky. In the cool hours of late afternoon, the light filters through the canopy of Columbia Park, casting long, lean shadows that stretch across the soil with a patient, unhurried grace. Three miles away, the depressions of Fester Hollow hold the morning mist, while the nearby Briar Creek Reservoir acts as a dark, glass-still mirror for the changing seasons, reflecting the transition from the stark skeletal winter to the heavy, humid green of summer.
Lime Ridge carries the quiet residue of an industrial past, where the labor of earlier generations remains etched into the very topography of the region. The local economy has shifted from the labor-intensive demands of coal and extraction toward a more measured pace, though the memory of those anthracite-stained days lingers in the sturdy, unadorned architecture and the pragmatic disposition of the people. Life in Lime Ridge moves with the rhythmic consistency of the river, a steady flow that ignores the frantic acceleration of the modern world in favor of a grounded, localized persistence. Men and women navigate their days against a backdrop of limestone and deep-rooted woodland, finding a particular, modest satisfaction in the routine maintenance of their homes and the preservation of the open spaces that define the borders of their lives.

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.
