Explore Mexico, 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 Mexico, 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 Mexico.
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.

Mexico occupies a modest stretch of land where the persistent currents of Chillisquaque Creek carve a path through the quiet earth. It lies 15.3 miles west of Bloomsburg, PA (from Bloomsburg, PA: bearing 275°T), and is situated 5.2 miles east of Milton. The landscape surrounding Mexico is defined by a rhythmic succession of fields and dense thickets, creating an environment where the transition from open farmland to shadowed woodland feels deliberate and ancient. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains provide a jagged, hazy boundary against the horizon, while the terrain closer to the settlement remains defined by the soft, earthen contours of the region. At dusk, the light here thins into a pale, bruised violet, catching the silt-heavy water of the creek and turning the surface into a dull, hammered pewter that mirrors the stillness of the surrounding valley.
History in Mexico is measured not by grand monuments, but by the endurance of the soil and the steady, unpretentious labor that has sustained the local economy for generations. While the influence of the wider Pennsylvania landscape remains visible in the agricultural patterns of the nearby acreage, the character of the place is shaped by a deep connection to the land and the quiet utility of the surrounding countryside. Residents often look toward Furnace Hollow for a sense of depth in the terrain, or travel toward the recreational spaces of East Chillisquaque Township Park when the seasons shift. Even with the presence of Lake Chillisquaque a short distance away, the identity of Mexico remains anchored to the immediate, practical rhythm of the creek and the dense, protective canopy of the Tiadaghton State Forest that stands as a silent guardian over the northern horizon.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mexico, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.54165, -77.358283. 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 Mexico includes the ZIP code (17847, 17056), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Montour County (Danville), and school district assignment (Juniata 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.
