How to Use This Pittston, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Pittston occupies a commanding position along the banks of the Susquehanna River, where the water moves with a steady, deliberate weight through the valley. It lies 7.1 miles northeast of Kingston, PA (from Kingston, PA: bearing 52°T), and is situated 8.7 miles southwest of Scranton. The land here rises toward the horizon, where the distant Pocono Mountains trace a jagged line against the pale, bruised sky of late afternoon. To the north, the terrain folds into the deep, quiet shadows of Dark Hollow, while the nearby Campbells Ledge Reservoir holds a still, glassy reflection of the surrounding woodland. Residents often walk the grounds of Sam Miceli Veterans Memorial Park, where the grass grows thick and the air carries the scent of damp earth and coming rain. The landscape feels anchored by these physical boundaries, a place defined by the slow, persistent passage of the river through the interior of the state.

Anthracite coal once dictated the pulse of Pittston, drawing generations of laborers to the dark, subterranean veins that formed the bedrock of the local economy. The industry demanded a profound physical resilience from those who lived above the mines, shaping a culture of grit that persists long after the shafts have quieted. Today, the economy has shifted toward diverse manufacturing and logistics, yet the memory of the deep-earth labor remains etched into the brick facades of the older downtown streets. Small businesses now occupy spaces once bustling with the trade of a coal-driven era, maintaining a steady, industrious pace. The transition from extraction to contemporary enterprise has left the local economy with a quiet, pragmatic focus on sustainability and regional growth.

Pittston maintains a distinct cultural character forged by the influx of immigrant families who sought a foothold in the coal fields and stayed to build a communal life. The annual Tomato Festival celebrates this heritage with a fervor that brings the entire region together, marking the height of the summer harvest with music and shared meals. Landmarks such as the historic rail architecture stand as silent witnesses to the town’s evolution, while the nearby Pinnacle Trail offers a quiet escape for those seeking to observe the valley from a higher vantage. Figures like the legendary boxer Jimmy McLarnin, who spent his early years in the region, represent the fighting spirit often associated with the area’s history. The atmosphere in Pittston feels grounded and unpretentious, a place where the rhythm of daily life is measured by the changing seasons and the enduring connections of those who call it home.
