Explore Pennsburg, 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 Pennsburg, 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 Pennsburg.
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.

Pennsburg occupies a landscape of quiet, inland persistence where the water of Macoby Creek carves a slow, deliberate path through the earth. It lies 8.0 miles northeast of New Hanover, PA (from New Hanover, PA: bearing 36°T), and is situated 9.1 miles northwest of Franconia. The air here holds the cooling weight of the interior, far removed from any maritime influence, shifting instead with the seasonal respiration of the surrounding fields and woodlands. Pennsburg Community Park serves as the central lung of the locality, offering a green expanse where the light of late afternoon settles heavily against the grass. To the west, the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains marks the horizon, a hazy reminder of the vast, folded geology that defines the wider region. Just a short distance away, the surface of Green Lane Reservoir mirrors the sky, its stillness offering a sharp contrast to the persistent, low-frequency hum of regional transit and local industry.
Economic life in Pennsburg draws from a long lineage of craft and commerce, rooted in the industrious spirit that once defined the colonial frontier. The architecture here favors the sturdy, utilitarian brick and timber of the Pennsylvania Dutch tradition, reflecting a history of careful cultivation and measured growth. Residents move through their days with a pragmatism forged by the changing seasons, balancing the requirements of modern trade against the lingering presence of agricultural roots. While the Old Dutchman Trail invites those seeking a more rigorous connection to the landscape, the daily pace remains steady, defined by the sound of tires on asphalt and the rhythmic shift of activity within the local grid. It is a place that values the weight of its own history, maintaining a distinct identity that persists even as the modern world continues to press against its borders.

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.
