How to Use This Shavertown, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Shavertown occupies a landscape defined by the persistent, quiet movement of Toby Creek as it carves a path through the earth. It lies 4.5 miles north-northwest of Kingston, PA (from Kingston, PA: bearing 332°T), and is situated 5.9 miles north-northwest of Wilkes-Barre. The terrain here reflects the geology of the inland corridor, where the land rises into subtle shifts in elevation that hint at the distant silhouette of the Pocono Mountains on the horizon. Green Pond sits a mile away, its surface often mirroring the heavy, cool light of a Pennsylvania dusk that settles over the trees. The Back Mountain Trail offers a direct line into the local woods, where the soil holds the dampness of the season and the air carries a crisp, mineral clarity.

Shavertown maintains a steady, deliberate pace that echoes the industrial labor of the nearby Wyoming Valley, a place once defined by its deep connections to anthracite coal. While the economy has shifted toward modern commerce and suburban service, the architecture still retains a functional, unadorned character that speaks to a history of hard work and regional resilience. Residents often look toward the natural landmarks of the region, such as the distant, rushing descent of Whirlpool Canyon Falls, as markers of a wilder geography just beyond the reach of the paved roads. The character of the place is found in these quiet intersections, where the remnants of a coal-hewn past meet the steady, everyday life of a growing population.
