How to Use This Oberlin, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Oberlin maintains a quiet, steady presence upon the earth, defined by the firmament of the inland plains and the subtle shifting of light across the local landscape. It lies 3.1 miles south-southeast of Progress, PA (from Progress, PA: bearing 164°T), and is situated 4.3 miles east-southeast of Harrisburg. Robert W. Horner Memorial Park occupies the immediate ground, providing a patch of green space where the air often carries the scent of damp earth and cooling asphalt. To the west, the horizon holds the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a reminder of the tectonic weight that shaped this entire region. Spring Creek winds its way through the nearby terrain, its waters moving with a deliberate, low-voiced persistence that marks the passage of seasons. The proximity of Lisa Lake, only three miles distant, adds a stillness to the atmosphere, a cool mirror reflecting the gray clouds that often drift over the mid-Atlantic interior.

Oberlin grew from the steady labor of those who recognized the value of the soil and the convenience of the regional geography for trade and domestic industry. The economy here moves at the cadence of the work day, rooted in a history of regional commerce that favors the practical and the enduring. While the distant rush of Conewago Falls remains a feature of the broader wilderness, life here is measured by the smaller, human-scale intersections of backyards and local routes. Those who wish to travel further into the topography often look toward the Darlington Trail, which offers a path through the dense, wooded character of the land. In the evening, the streetlights cast a warm, yellow glow against the brick and siding of local homes, grounding Oberlin in the familiar, rhythmic pulse of a place that knows its own boundaries and keeps them well.

About This Oberlin Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Oberlin, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.241479, -76.814694. 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 Oberlin includes the ZIP code (17113), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Dauphin County (Harrisburg), and school district assignment (Central Dauphin 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.
