How to Use This Plymouth, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Plymouth defines the character of the Wyoming Valley with its steady, grounded presence in the landscape. It lies 2.9 miles west-southwest of Kingston, PA (from Kingston, PA: bearing 239°T), and is situated 3.3 miles west of Wilkes-Barre. Brown Creek meanders through the terrain, tracing a path that has long shaped the local topography. To the east, the distant silhouette of the Pocono Mountains rises against the horizon, providing a constant, rugged backdrop to the regional scenery. Residents often walk the Luzerne County Levee Trail, which offers a direct connection to the natural flow of the land. Just two miles away, the waters of Spring Brook Reservoir Number Four remain a quiet feature of the broader environment. When the sunlight hits the ridges at dusk, the entire valley takes on a softened, amber hue that lingers in the cooling air.

Plymouth preserves the echoes of an industrial era defined by the deep extraction of anthracite coal. This history fueled the local economy for generations, drawing workers from diverse backgrounds to labor in the dark, subterranean seams. While the heavy industry has faded, the physical remnants of those workshops and rail lines continue to shape the layout of the streets. Today, the economy has shifted toward a blend of small-scale commerce and service-oriented work that keeps the local pulse steady. Men and women now navigate a world built upon the foundations laid by their predecessors, turning former industrial spaces into hubs of modern activity. The transition from a coal-dependent past to a quiet, present-day existence is visible in the repurposed brickwork and the enduring architecture of the main thoroughfares.

Plymouth maintains a cultural character forged by the persistence of those who remained through the changing decades. The area is marked by a certain resilience, a quiet strength that manifests in the orderly upkeep of homes and the local commitment to community gatherings. Notable landmarks, including the nearby Whirlpool Canyon Falls, draw visitors who appreciate the untamed beauty of the surrounding wilderness. While the region remains modest in its public profile, it has been home to individuals of significant repute, such as the acclaimed actor Jack Palance, who began his journey within this specific landscape. Residents often mark the turning of the seasons with local events that honor their shared heritage and the distinct rhythm of life in the valley. The air here carries a crisp, inland clarity, reminding those who live and travel through Plymouth of the quiet, expansive world that exists far from the edges of the continent.

About This Plymouth Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Plymouth, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 41.24036, -75.944643. 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 Plymouth includes the ZIP code (18651), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Luzerne County (Wilkes-Barre), and school district assignment (Wyoming Valley West School District).

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.
