How to Use This Old Forge, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Old Forge occupies a landscape defined by the quiet endurance of the earth and the slow, deliberate movement of inland weather. It lies 4.6 miles southwest of Scranton, PA (from Scranton, PA: bearing 235°T), and is situated 6.3 miles west-southwest of Dunmore. The terrain surrounding Old Forge maintains a steady, grounded posture, distanced from the coast and anchored by the proximity of Saint Johns Creek. Residents often look toward the distant horizon where the Pocono Mountains trace a faint, serrated line against the sky. A short distance away, the terrain dips into the sheltered contours of Dark Hollow, offering a stark contrast to the higher ground. Local life finds a focal point in the green expanse of Maxson Drive Park, which serves as a communal anchor for outdoor reflection. When the light fades, the atmosphere over the valley shifts into a cool, muted clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the nearby woodland.

Old Forge grew from the deep, anthracite-rich strata that once dictated the rhythm of local labor and industrial ambition. The early economy thrived on the extraction of coal, a legacy that etched a permanent, industrious character into the bedrock of the neighborhood. While the heavy industry of the past has quieted, the remnants of that era remain visible in the sturdy, brick-fronted architecture that lines the older streets. Modern life in Old Forge balances these historical echoes with a modest commercial presence that sustains the current generation. The town maintains a measured pace, favoring a steady, internal consistency over the frantic expansion observed in larger metropolitan centers. This transition from extraction to a contemporary service-based economy reflects a quiet, persistent resilience in the face of shifting national markets.

Cultural identity in Old Forge expresses itself through a shared appreciation for the local culinary tradition, which remains a source of genuine pride among residents. The town is widely recognized for its distinctive pizza style, a specialty that brings people together in small, family-run parlors that have operated for generations. During the warmer months, visitors often venture toward the nearby Nay Aug Falls to witness the kinetic energy of water moving through the gorge. For those seeking movement, the Pinnacle Trail provides a measured path through the surrounding foliage, while Rocky Glenn Pond offers a quiet, reflective surface for the afternoon sun. Notable figures with ties to the area, such as the legendary musical artist Perry Como, carry the regional sensibility into the wider world. These threads of history, recreation, and community ritual define the daily experience of living in Old Forge.
