How to Use This Little Britain, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

About Little Britain, Pennsylvania

Little Britain is a locality in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 406. The population density is 108.2 people per km². Little Britain is located at 39.7790°N, 76.1166°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 17566, 19362.

Little Britain emerges as a quiet expanse of fertile soil and managed woodland, defined by the persistent, rhythmic southward flow of Reynolds Run. It lies 20.5 miles south-southeast of Lancaster, PA (from Lancaster, PA: bearing 151°T), and is situated 9.0 miles northwest of Calvert. This landscape favors the wide, open posture of agricultural fields, where the earth holds a deep, dark color that speaks to a long legacy of cultivation. Beyond the immediate fields, the canopy of William Penn State Forest provides a dense, emerald contrast to the cultivated plains, offering a sanctuary of timber and shade just four miles away. During the transition of dusk, the light here loses its sharp edges, casting a long, heavy amber glow across the pastures that softens the geometry of fences and barns, grounding the observer in a stillness that feels both ancient and entirely present.

Little Britain retains the character of a place built upon the labor of the soil, maintaining a pace of life governed by the seasonal cycles of the surrounding farms. The local footprint centers on the accessibility of Little Britain Township Park, a space where the community gathers to mark the passage of time against the backdrop of an unhurried, rural economy. While the distant Appalachian Mountains provide a faint, serrated silhouette on the far horizon, the immediate history of the region is anchored in the steady, quiet endurance of those who have worked this ground for generations. Life here remains tethered to the land, far from the frantic hum of urban centers, finding its rhythm instead in the deliberate, predictable movements of a landscape that has long ago settled into its own quiet self-sufficiency.

About This Little Britain Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Little Britain, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 39.778995, -76.116618. 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 Little Britain includes the ZIP code (17566, 19362), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Lancaster County (Lancaster), and school district assignment (Solanco 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.
