How to Use This Shickshinny, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Shickshinny claims its place where the earth rises in quiet, sturdy increments, defined by the persistent flow of Shickshinny Creek as it cuts through the local topography. It lies 8.1 miles north-northeast of Berwick, PA (from Berwick, PA: bearing 32°T), and is situated 8.4 miles west-southwest of Nanticoke. The land here carries the weight of a long inland stretch, far removed from the pressures of the tides, grounded instead in the steady, terrestrial rhythm of the Allegheny Plateau. Sunlight strikes the valley floor with a pale, amber clarity, illuminating the modest expanse of West Union Street Park, where the grass holds the cool dampness of the morning long after the day has warmed. Beyond the immediate perimeter, the dense, green-shadowed reach of the landscape stretches toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains, which remain a jagged, gray promise on the far horizon.

Shickshinny retains the quiet character of a place that once thrived on the labor of the earth, its history etched into the bedrock by the anthracite industry that defined the surrounding region for generations. Economic life here has transitioned from the heavy, soot-stained commerce of the past to a slower, more deliberate pace, where the legacy of coal-mining families remains visible in the architecture of older homes and the layout of the streets. Six miles away, the quiet basin of Nevel Hollow offers a secluded contrast to the town’s thoroughfares, while Hillcrest Lake, only two miles distant, provides a small, reflective stillness for those who seek the water’s edge. Everyday existence in Shickshinny moves with a reliable, unadorned consistency, shaped by the local geography and the enduring memory of the industry that built it.
