Explore Park Place, 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 Park Place, 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 Park Place.
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.

Park Place occupies a quiet basin where the persistent North Mahanoy Creek carves a path through the earth, marking the land with a silver, winding signature. It lies 10.5 miles southwest of Hazleton, PA (from Hazleton, PA: bearing 218°T), and is situated 7.3 miles west-northwest of Tamaqua. The landscape here is defined by the deep, internal geography of the region, where the terrain slopes toward the nearby Negro Hollow and the cool, still waters of Park Place Lake gather in the valley floor. On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains provides a jagged, blue-gray boundary to the horizon, grounding the immediate sprawl of woodland and meadow in a vast, geologic frame. The air carries a crisp, terrestrial weight, devoid of any maritime influence, settling heavily into the hollows as the afternoon light turns the surrounding foliage into muted shades of bronze and slate.
Parente Family Park serves as the functional center of Park Place, offering a modest expanse of green space that anchors the daily rhythm of the residents. The local economy and character bear the quiet marks of a long-standing anthracite heritage, a history etched into the very soil that once fueled the industrial pulse of the commonwealth. Beyond the immediate neighborhood, the topography shifts toward the rugged terrain that eventually leads to the cascading water of Tomhicken Falls, a reminder of the raw energy still held within the regional watershed. Life in Park Place proceeds with a deliberate, steady cadence, reflecting a legacy of labor and endurance that remains visible in the sturdy brickwork and the unadorned, functional architecture of the local streets.

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.
