Explore Oak Lane, 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 Oak Lane, 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 Oak Lane.
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.

Oak Lane emerges as a dense grid of brick rowhouses and mature trees, defined by the steady, quiet passage of Mill Run as it carves through the neighborhood’s edges. It lies 4.4 miles south of Abington, PA (from Abington, PA: bearing 182°T), and is situated 7.5 miles north-northeast of Philadelphia. The physical character of the land remains deeply tied to the inland topography, where the air holds the dry, crisp weight of the interior plains rather than the heavy humidity of distant shores. Within the immediate boundaries, Melrose Park offers a singular expanse of managed green space, providing a sharp contrast to the geometric precision of the surrounding residential blocks. A mile away, the surface of Oak Lane Reservoir reflects the changing sky, its stillness offering a muted counterpoint to the brisk flow of the local creek. In the distance, the silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains occasionally asserts itself against the horizon, a faint reminder of the vast, rugged terrain that lies far beyond the gentle slopes of the suburban frame.
History permeates the neighborhood in the sturdy masonry of its foundations and the enduring layout of its streets, which once served as a vital transit corridor connecting outlying settlements to the broader regional economy. The local character is shaped by a legacy of industry and the persistent, industrious rhythm of inhabitants who have long favored the stability of these quiet, tree-lined avenues. Beyond the immediate streets, the geography opens toward the Cresheim Valley, while the surrounding region holds landmarks like The Grotto, where water creates a localized, percussive music against the stone. For those seeking a deeper connection to the terrain, the Green Ribbon Preservation Trail offers a path through the wider landscape, extending well beyond the suburban perimeter. Oak Lane retains a distinct, unpretentious composure, where the shift of seasons marks the passage of time more profoundly than the fleeting trends of the outside world.

Detailed location data for Oak Lane includes the ZIP code (19032, 19012), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Montgomery County (Norristown), and school district assignment (Cheltenham 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.
