Explore New Ringold, 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 New Ringold, 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 New Ringold.
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.

New Ringold holds a quiet stillness within the fold of the landscape, where the persistent flow of Koenigs Creek marks the rhythmic pulse of the immediate terrain. It lies 10.3 miles east of Pottsville, PA (from Pottsville, PA: bearing 90°T), and is situated 7.9 miles south-southwest of Tamaqua. The air here often carries a heavy, damp clarity, especially as the sun retreats behind the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains, casting long, thin shadows across the fields. Beyond the immediate canopy, the earth dips toward Red Valley, a subtle depression that catches the morning mist and holds it against the cooling soil. Residents often gather at the Koch Street Playground, a small, open expanse that serves as a communal anchor amidst the quiet woodland, while those seeking more rugged paths venture toward the River of Rocks Trail to navigate the shifting geology.
New Ringold retains the character of an era defined by the steady, labor-intensive extraction of anthracite that once fueled the regional economy. The echoes of coal-era industry remain etched into the architecture and the deliberate, unhurried pace of the streets, reflecting a heritage built on persistence and the grit of the Pennsylvania interior. While the heavy machinery of the past has largely vanished, the local economy now shifts toward small-scale trade and the stewardship of the surrounding land, looking toward the waters of Kunkles Dam for both utility and a measure of local serenity. Daily life here feels tethered to these older foundations, where the legacy of the mines informs the quiet, practical temperament of the people who continue to call New Ringold home.

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.
