How to Use This Oakdale, Pennsylvania Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Oakdale, 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 Oakdale.
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.

ZIP codes: 18224, 15071.Oakdale remains a quiet congregation of brick and timber held within the deep, verdant folds of the Allegheny Plateau. It lies 3.7 miles northeast of Hazleton, PA (from Hazleton, PA: bearing 51°T), and is situated 4.6 miles east-northeast of West Hazleton. The landscape surrounding Oakdale carries the weight of ancient earth, where sunlight filters through the canopy of Pinchot State Forest to settle upon the damp, moss-covered floor. A mile away, the dark, rhythmic passage of Black Creek carves a path through the limestone, its current reflecting the heavy, gray skies that often linger over the basin of Hells Kitchen. Three miles out, the still surface of Dam F Reservoir mirrors the changing seasons, a silent expanse of water that anchors the horizon against the distant, hazy silhouette of the Pocono Mountains.
Industry once hummed through the streets of Oakdale with the steady pulse of coal and rail, leaving behind a legacy of sturdy, utilitarian architecture that defines the local character. The economy has shifted, yet the labor-worn spirit of the region persists in the way the residents maintain their properties and observe the passing of the day. Life here moves with a deliberate pace, colored by the memory of the deep-earth extractions that once fueled the regional hunger for progress. Every evening, the cooling air carries the scent of damp soil and iron, a reminder that the earth beneath Oakdale is as much a part of its people as the quiet streets they walk upon.

About This Oakdale Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Oakdale, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.400165, -80.18715. 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 Oakdale includes the ZIP code (18224, 15071), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Luzerne County (Wilkes-Barre), and school district assignment (West Allegheny 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.
