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 asserts itself upon the landscape through a series of firm, enduring contours that define its character as a place of substance. It lies 2.1 miles northwest of West Hempfield, PA (from West Hempfield, PA: bearing 321°T), and is situated 6.2 miles west of East Hempfield. The Chiques Creek flows with a steady, deliberate purpose nearby, carving a path through the earth that has long provided a natural cadence to the surroundings. Beyond the immediate terrain, the York Valley stretches out as a wide, fertile expanse, while the distant, hazy blue outlines of the Blue Ridge Mountains frame the horizon like a permanent, silent sentinel. The air here carries the weight of the inland plains, crisp and unburdened by the humidity of the distant coast, settling over the quiet greenery of Fairview Park where the light at dusk turns the foliage into a deep, burnished copper.
Newtown holds a quiet resilience in its architecture, where the legacy of early settlement persists in the sturdy, deliberate arrangement of its streets and structures. The local economy draws its vitality from the persistent labor of its inhabitants, echoing a history that favored the steady production of goods and the cultivation of the surrounding soil. Life in Newtown moves with a measured, intentional pace, reflecting a culture that values the maintenance of its historical identity over the frantic fluctuations of modern industry. Every evening, the shadows lengthen across the grid of the local lanes, highlighting the textured brick and stone that anchor the place to its foundations, ensuring that the rhythm of the day remains as reliable as the passage of the seasons.

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.
