Explore Moosic, 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 Moosic, 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 Moosic.
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.

Moosic defines itself through the steady, patient flow of Mill Creek as it carves a path through the regional landscape. It lies 5.5 miles southwest of Scranton, PA (from Scranton, PA: bearing 226°T), and is situated 7.2 miles southwest of Dunmore. The terrain surrounding Moosic reveals the quiet resilience of an inland geography, where the land rises into subtle elevations that look toward the distant shadows of the Pocono Mountains. Residents often find solace in the nearby expanse of the William T. Quinlin Sports Complex, a space that anchors the daily rhythm of the outdoors. Beyond the immediate development, the terrain dips into the seclusion of Dark Hollow, offering a sharp contrast to the open fields and woodland patches that define the horizon. Light here at dusk possesses a singular clarity, catching the edges of the trees before the evening settles into a deep, hushed gray.
Anthracite memory persists in the marrow of Moosic, a place once forged by the extraction of coal and the industry that rose to meet it. This heritage transformed the local economy, moving from the soot-stained intensity of mining into a diverse landscape of modern commerce and logistical hubs. The labor of generations remains visible in the sturdy architecture and the pragmatic layout of the streets, reflecting a history built on grit and collective effort. As the primary industries have shifted, Moosic has maintained a focused, industrious character that values utility and straightforward progress. The air retains a faint, historical weight, reminding one that the current prosperity is merely the latest chapter in a long sequence of regional development.
Cultural life in Moosic centers on a shared sense of place, supported by the presence of landmarks like the nearby Nay Aug Falls, where the water’s movement creates a constant, meditative sound. Residents often venture toward the Pinnacle Trail to experience the stillness of the woods, finding a necessary balance to the pace of modern life. Those seeking a quiet afternoon might gravitate toward the edges of Rocky Glenn Pond, where the reflection of the sky provides a brief respite from the turn of the seasons. While the borough celebrates its local identity through various community gatherings and seasonal events, it remains a place where the individual is defined by quiet contribution rather than grand spectacle. Moosic serves as a grounding point for its people, offering a stable environment where the texture of the land and the endurance of its history provide a consistent, reliable foundation for everyday existence.

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.
