Explore Riverside, Pennsylvania, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Riverside, 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 Riverside.
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.

Riverside commands a steady, deliberate presence where the broad, muscular current of the Susquehanna River carves a path through the landscape. It lies 9.7 miles west-southwest of Bloomsburg, PA (from Bloomsburg, PA: bearing 250°T), and is situated 1.0 miles west-southwest of Danville. The air here holds the cool, damp weight of the water, which rises in thin, ghostly ribbons of mist during the early hours of autumn mornings. To the west, the land pulls away from the riverbank, rising toward the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains, while the local terrain remains defined by the quiet, shadowed folds of Furnace Hollow. Within the immediate reach of the borough, the ground levels into a functional, hardworking expanse, punctuated by the vibrant green grass and open space of Riverside Borough Park.
Riverside maintains a character forged by the steady pulse of industry and the endurance of those who first settled these river-blessed acres. The economy reflects a legacy of regional production, moving from the heavy labor of the past into a modern rhythm of local trade and service that keeps the streets quiet but purposeful. On summer evenings, the light catches the metallic glint of the river, casting a deep, amber glow that settles over the brick and siding of the neighborhood homes. Those seeking a different stillness often travel the short distance to Lake Glory, where the water remains undisturbed by the commerce of the main channel. Life in Riverside moves with a measured, consistent gravity, reflecting a place that values the steady utility of the land as much as the simple beauty of a sunset reflected in the passing water.

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.
