How to Use This Scranton, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Scranton reveals itself through the persistent, cold-water rush of the Roaring Brook, which cuts through the urban grid like a memory of the wilder landscape that preceded the asphalt. It lies 1.7 miles west-southwest of Dunmore, PA (from Dunmore, PA: bearing 244°T), and is situated 4.6 miles northeast of Old Forge. The terrain here is defined by deep shifts in elevation, where the land rises into uneven ridges that seem to hold the low-hanging evening mist against the brick facades of older buildings. To the horizon, the distant outlines of the Pocono Mountains provide a jagged, blue-tinted boundary that constrains the sprawl of the valley. Those seeking the quiet of the woods often find their way to the Pinnacle Trail, where the earth is packed hard and the air carries the sharp, clean scent of hemlock and damp stone.

Anthracite coal drove the early expansion of Scranton, pulling waves of laborers into the deep earth to fuel the industrial appetites of the nineteenth century. The settlement grew with a frantic, soot-stained energy, its foundation laid by those who arrived to extract the black seams that turned the local economy into a powerhouse of the era. Over time, the heavy machinery fell silent, leaving behind a legacy of endurance that survives in the heavy, iron-wrought architecture and the deliberate, unhurried pace of the people who stayed behind. Today, Scranton retains the character of a place that has learned to transform its identity, moving from the extraction of resources to a more nuanced, modern existence.

Economic life in Scranton now pivots toward healthcare, education, and light manufacturing, supported by a network of institutions that stabilize the regional workforce. The University of Scranton occupies a prominent space in the urban center, drawing students into its collegiate halls and influencing the intellectual rhythm of the downtown streets. Infrastructure remains anchored to the historic rail corridors that once shipped coal across the nation, though these lines now serve a different purpose, linking the region to larger commercial hubs. The local government and private sectors continue to navigate the challenges of a post-industrial landscape, investing in projects that emphasize long-term growth and the revitalization of commercial districts.

Cultural life in Scranton finds its most vibrant expression in the shared traditions of the community, such as the annual gatherings that transform the Scranton Veterans Memorial Park into a gathering place for neighbors and visitors alike. The deep, dark waters of the Nay Aug Park Gorge offer a natural counterpoint to the man-made environment, providing a vertical, rocky sanctuary just a short distance from the noise of the main thoroughfares. Locals often speak with pride of their city’s role in popular culture, recognizing the humor and human stories that have brought global attention to their neighborhood streets. While Mud Pond sits quietly in the distance, the spirit of the people remains centered on the enduring connections formed in the schoolyards, the local sports fields, and the quiet corners of this resilient inland landscape.
