How to Use This New Salem, Pennsylvania Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for New Salem, 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 Salem.

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 Salem occupies a quiet plateau where the earth rises in slow, deliberate swells toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It lies 5.3 miles south of Shiloh, PA (from Shiloh, PA: bearing 176°T), and is situated 5.3 miles southwest of York. The air here holds a crisp, earthen clarity, especially when the light of late afternoon catches the moisture rising from the banks of Codorus Creek, which winds its way through the nearby lowlands with a steady, unhurried persistence. Five miles away, the quiet depression of Brush Valley offers a contrast to these higher reaches, while the still waters of Lake Redman provide a reflective surface for the changing sky. The landscape is defined by this interplay of moisture and elevation, where the soil of New Salem supports a patchwork of fields that turn from deep, vibrant greens in the spring to a muted, skeletal gold as the harvest wanes.

Generations of labor have shaped the character of New Salem, grounding its identity in the steady cycles of agriculture and the modest industry that once defined the surrounding Pennsylvania landscape. Local life finds a focal point at the North Codorus Community Center, a space that anchors the social rhythms of the residents who remain connected to the heritage of the region. The economy here has shifted from the labor-intensive patterns of the past, yet the influence of earlier settlers persists in the sturdy, deliberate construction of the local architecture. In the quiet hours of the day, there is a distinct sense of continuity, where the persistent hum of the modern world fades, leaving only the sound of wind through the trees and the memory of a landscape that has long provided for those who work its soil.
