Explore Newtown, 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 Newtown, 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 Newtown.
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.

Newtown occupies a stretch of fertile, undulating terrain where the quiet movement of Newtown Creek defines the local topography. It lies 3.9 miles west of Lower Makefield, PA (from Lower Makefield, PA: bearing 269°T), and is situated 8.7 miles north of Bensalem. This inland landscape remains far removed from the reach of any coastline, defined instead by the steady, inland cycles of seasonal change that color the heavy oaks and maples. A sense of permanence settles over the land, particularly near the quiet grounds of Newtown Commons, where the afternoon light catches on the crisp, clean lines of colonial-era brickwork. To the west, the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains provides a vague, hazy boundary to the horizon, while the localized moisture of Lake Luxembourg sustains the verdant, inland character of the soil. Five miles away, the rush of Scudders Falls interrupts the otherwise measured pace of the regional waterways, and the dense, protected canopy of the Five Mile Woods Forest Preserve offers a deep, shadowed contrast to the open fields of the surrounding valley.
Newtown holds a legacy rooted in the agricultural traditions of the colonial era, evolving from a center of rural trade into a place where the economy now leans toward professional services and local commerce. The architectural integrity of the central district reflects a history of measured growth, where the preservation of older structures provides a visual link to the generations who first cleared the timber and worked the earth. Daily life here maintains a deliberate, focused tempo, influenced by the presence of academic institutions and a population that values the quiet maintenance of its public spaces. While the industrial age left its mark across the broader region, Newtown has retained a distinct, residential clarity, favoring the preservation of its commons and the integrity of its original street plan over rapid, unchecked expansion. The climate remains moderate, defined by the crisp, cool air that rolls off the inland plains, ensuring that the rhythm of the seasons remains the primary clock by which the residents organize their affairs.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Newtown, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.228344, -74.932293. 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 Newtown includes the ZIP code (17981, 15145, 18702), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Bucks County (Doylestown), and school district assignment (Council Rock 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.
