Explore Palm, 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 Palm, 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 Palm.
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.

Palm manifests as a quiet convergence of woodland and water, anchored by the persistent, rhythmic flow of Perkiomen Creek. It lies 7.9 miles south-southwest of Emmaus, PA (from Emmaus, PA: bearing 194°T), and is situated 9.4 miles north-northeast of New Hanover. The terrain surrounding Palm rises in modest, wooded swells that catch the amber light of late afternoon, casting long, lean shadows across the Mill Hill Preservation Area. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and leaf litter, a sensory reminder of the dense, deciduous canopy that defines the local horizon. While the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains occasionally suggest themselves to the westward observer, the immediate landscape is one of intimate, grounded scale, where the water’s edge provides a cooling stillness against the summer heat.
Hard work and an agrarian persistence have long defined the character of Palm, leaving behind the traces of an economy once rooted in the modest toil of the Pennsylvania Dutch country. Older structures of local stone and timber remain, standing as quiet witnesses to a time when the region’s mills relied on the steady pulse of the land to fuel their growth. Today, the pace of life in Palm follows the slow shifts of the seasons rather than the sharp, frantic clock of the industrial centers further east. Residents often find their way toward the quiet waters of Green Lane Reservoir or traverse the paths of the Old Dutchman Trail, finding a deliberate, unadorned peace in the permanence of the surrounding geography.

Detailed location data for Palm includes the ZIP code (18070), 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.
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.
