Explore Mount Gretna, 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 Mount Gretna, 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 Mount Gretna.
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.

Mount Gretna rises from the dense woodland of the Pennsylvania interior, where the landscape is defined by the cool, persistent presence of Conewago Creek. It lies 7.1 miles south-southwest of Lebanon, PA (from Lebanon, PA: bearing 205°T), and is situated 9.9 miles east-southeast of Hershey. The air here holds a distinct, heavy sweetness, carrying the scent of damp earth and thick, mature oaks that shade the winding, narrow lanes. Conewago Lake sits at the center of this environment, its still surface reflecting the changing leaves and the shifting, muted light of a late afternoon sun. Beyond the immediate canopy, the distant silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains marks the horizon, standing as a quiet, jagged boundary against the sky. The physical character of Mount Gretna is shaped by this proximity to State Game Land 145, an expansive expanse of protected timber that anchors the region in a perpetual, quiet wildness.
Mount Gretna originated as a summer retreat, its history etched into the whimsical, gingerbread-trimmed cottages that appear as if they were scattered by a sudden, creative wind. The local economy and daily rhythm are no longer driven by the industrial furnace of the past, but by a seasonal, artistic vitality that sustains the quietude of the neighborhood. Residents and visitors alike often find their way toward the Horseshoe Trail, which offers a path through the surrounding topography, connecting the locality to the broader, rugged character of the state. Life in Mount Gretna moves with a deliberate, measured pace, influenced by the intersection of scholarly summer programs and the enduring, rustic charm of its forested surroundings. Even in the off-season, the memory of the past remains, held in the architecture and the slow, steady flow of the water passing through the nearby creek bed.

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.
