How to Use This Pitman, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

About Pitman, Pennsylvania

Pitman is a locality in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,200. The population density is 35.0 people per km². Pitman is located at 40.7151°N, 76.5208°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 17964.

Pitman emerges from the quiet intersection of agricultural tradition and the steady, rhythmic flow of the Little Mahantango Creek. It lies 17.2 miles west of Pottsville, PA (from Pottsville, PA: bearing 277°T), and is situated 5.5 miles south-southeast of Shamokin. The landscape surrounding Pitman is defined by the deliberate pace of the Pennsylvania interior, where the earth rises and falls in wide, unhurried swells of farmland and dense woodlots. Only a mile away, the expansive terrain of State Game Land 084 offers a hushed, preserved wilderness that anchors the local horizon. To the west, the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains provide a permanent, shifting backdrop that catches the amber light of late afternoon, signaling the change of seasons across the fields.

Generations of families have shaped the character of Pitman, grounding their lives in the soil and the legacy of a rural economy that favors endurance over speed. While the echoes of the region’s industrial past linger in the nearby valleys, the present rhythm of the place is dictated by the turning of the seasons and the maintenance of the homesteads that dot the countryside. Those seeking to traverse the rugged terrain often look toward the James Path, while the stillness of Dell Lake remains a quiet fixture for those traveling through the broader basin. Life here persists with a deliberate, singular focus, where the work of the day is measured by the length of the shadows creeping across the barns and the cool, damp air that settles over the creek beds at dusk.

About This Pitman Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Pitman, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.715086, -76.520792. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Pitman includes the ZIP code (17964), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Schuylkill County (Pottsville), 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.
