How to Use This Olyphant, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Olyphant rests upon the rugged, uneven floor of a valley defined by the persistent flow of the Lackawanna River. It lies 3.7 miles north-northeast of Dunmore, PA (from Dunmore, PA: bearing 24°T), and is situated 5.1 miles northeast of Scranton. The landscape surrounding Olyphant is characterized by the ancient, weathered rise of the Pocono Mountains visible in the distance, providing a constant, somber backdrop to the horizon. Deep within the earth nearby, the Archbald Pothole serves as a stark reminder of the glacial forces that once scoured this terrain. Residents often spend quiet afternoons at Fern Hill Park, where the light filters through the trees to create long, shifting shadows across the grass. During the cooler months, the air feels crisp and thin, carrying the scent of damp leaves and the faint, mineral memory of the surrounding hills.

Olyphant grew from the hard-won labor of the anthracite coal industry, a legacy that still shapes the physical layout and the stoic temperament of its neighborhoods. The local economy transitioned over generations from deep-shaft mining to a diverse mix of small-scale manufacturing and service-oriented businesses. Streets in Olyphant follow the irregular contours of the land, reflecting a history where the extraction of resources dictated the pace of daily existence. While the heavy industry of the past has quieted, the remnants of that era persist in the solid, unadorned architecture that defines the residential blocks. People here maintain a practical outlook, valuing the steady, quiet work that sustains their families and keeps the local shops in operation.

Cultural life in Olyphant centers on the traditions and community bonds forged by the families who settled here to work the mines. The town honors its heritage through local events that emphasize neighborly connection rather than grand display, often gathering at public spaces to mark the changing seasons. Residents seeking deeper contact with the landscape might travel toward Nay Aug Falls to observe the water carving through the stone, or perhaps venture toward the O'Conner Reservoir for a moment of stillness. While the Pinnacle Trail lies a fair distance away, it remains a favorite destination for those who appreciate the vast scale of the regional wilderness. Among those who have emerged from this specific environment, the actor Jason Miller stands out for his significant contributions to the dramatic arts, carrying the influence of his Pennsylvania roots into his celebrated career.
