How to Use This Quakake, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Quakake occupies a narrow sliver of land where the earth rises in quiet, stubborn ridges, defined primarily by the persistent, winding path of Neifert Creek. It lies 8.0 miles south-southwest of Hazleton, PA (from Hazleton, PA: bearing 204°T), and is situated 5.1 miles northwest of Tamaqua. The water of Neifert Creek carves a slow, deliberate channel through the soil, shadowed by thickets that hold the damp, cooling air of the morning long after the sun has climbed. Beyond the immediate banks, the terrain stretches toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains, which guard the horizon like a faded, blue-tinted memory. Only a mile away, the surface of Lofty Reservoir catches the afternoon light, reflecting the heavy canopy of the surrounding woods and providing a stillness that anchors the landscape against the shifting seasons.

Quakake carries the weight of an anthracite heritage, a silent legacy of the coal veins that once dictated the pulse of the regional economy and drew laborers into the shadow of the nearby Negro Hollow. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of a place that has learned to endure, favoring the quiet utility of the Quakake Playground as a focal point for the daily lives of its residents. While the thunder of industry has long since softened to a hum, the character of the settlement remains tied to the hard-won grit of its history, visible in the weathered architecture that leans into the slopes. Travelers passing through may notice the sound of the wind moving through the trees, a constant, low-frequency reminder of the vast, wooded reaches that lie between here and the echoing rush of Tomhicken Falls.
