How to Use This Poyntelle, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Poyntelle, Pennsylvania

Poyntelle is a locality in Wayne County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 8.0 people per km². Poyntelle is located at 41.8206°N, 75.4199°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 18454.

Poyntelle reveals itself through a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of damp earth and the heavy, emerald foliage that clings to the rising terrain. It lies 29.8 miles north-northeast of Dunmore, PA (from Dunmore, PA: bearing 22°T), and is situated 9.5 miles east-southeast of Jackson Susquehanna County. Bone Pond anchors the immediate geography, its surface often mirroring the slate-colored skies of the plateau, while the nearby Equinunk Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the soil, its current muffled by the dense surrounding woods. Five miles away, Bucks Falls punctuates the silence with a persistent, rhythmic spill of water that seems to dictate the tempo of the woods. The air here holds a particular weight, thick with the scent of pine needles and decaying leaves, creating a stillness that feels as though the land is holding its breath before the onset of the long, gray winter.

Poyntelle exists as a quiet accumulation of rural labor and heritage, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers or the sprawling reaches of the Appalachian Mountains. Historically, the economy has drawn its sustenance from the land, favoring small-scale agriculture and the slow, deliberate work of forestry that leaves the surrounding woods scarred only by the passage of time. Residents often look toward the nearby Belmont (Beaver Meadows) Lake for a reprieve from the daily tasks, finding a familiar sort of solitude in the managed wilderness. Even as the modern world encroaches, the local character remains tethered to the rhythm of the seasons, where the primary pursuit is the maintenance of a way of life that values the tangible weight of a hand-hewn fence or the seasonal harvest over the fleeting distractions of the wider world.

About This Poyntelle Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Poyntelle, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 41.82064, -75.419902. 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 Poyntelle includes the ZIP code (18454), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Wayne County (Honesdale), 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.
