Explore Scotland, 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 Scotland, 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 Scotland.
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.

Scotland defines its own quiet perimeter where the Conococheague Creek carves a persistent, silver path through the low-lying fields. It lies 4.5 miles east-northeast of Chambersburg, PA (from Chambersburg, PA: bearing 61°T), and is situated 6.7 miles south-southwest of Shippensburg. The landscape here favors the deliberate grace of the inland basin, where the earth holds the morning mist long after the sun has climbed above the horizon. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Blue Ridge Mountains provide a permanent, hazy boundary to the sky, while the local terrain remains defined by the steady, modest elevation of the regional plateau. At Scotland Community Park, the grass takes on a deep, verdant intensity during the humid summer months, offering a stillness that seems to absorb the distant hum of the modern world.
Scotland maintains a rhythm tethered to the slow, seasonal shifts of the surrounding agricultural land rather than the frantic pace of the larger industrial centers. The heritage of the locale is etched into the very soil that once supported the Pennsylvania Soldiers’ Orphan School, a site that lingers in the collective memory as a touchstone of local endurance. While the economy has transitioned from the agrarian roots of the past, the influence of the nearby Mont Alto State Forest remains a constant, shaping the air with the scent of pine and damp earth. Those who walk the Lippencot Trail find a landscape that demands little but offers a profound sense of continuity, punctuated only by the occasional stillness of Big Pond or the rhythmic flow of the creek as it moves toward the deeper, hidden hollows of Devil Alex Hollow.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Scotland, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 39.968702, -77.587211. 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 Scotland includes the ZIP code (17254), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Franklin County (Chambersburg), and school district assignment (Chambersburg Area 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.
