How to Use This Slabtown, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

About Slabtown, Pennsylvania

Slabtown is a locality in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 145. The population density is 117.4 people per km². Slabtown is located at 40.9031°N, 76.4019°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 17985, 16201, 15552.

Slabtown occupies a quiet stretch of land where the persistent, low murmur of Roaring Creek provides a constant, rhythmic pulse against the limestone bed. It lies 7.2 miles south-southeast of Bloomsburg, PA (from Bloomsburg, PA: bearing 161°T), and is situated 7.5 miles north of Mount Carmel. The landscape here favors the modest elevation of the plateau, characterized by dense patches of hardwood that thin out into open, sun-bleached fields. During the late afternoon, the light takes on a bruised, amber quality, catching the slate-colored silt of the creek banks and turning the surrounding brush into a study of deep ochre and gray. Only sixty-four miles to the east, the distant, hazy blue outlines of the Appalachian Mountains serve as a reminder of the vast, folded terrain that defines the wider horizon, though Slabtown itself remains anchored in the flatter, more intimate geography of the basin.

History in Slabtown lingers in the foundations of abandoned frame structures and the legacy of an economy once tethered to the extraction of the earth’s resources. Residents maintain a steady, unadorned pace of life, often finding recreation in the quiet expanses of Numidia Community Park, where the local flora thrives in the damp, shaded soil. While the memory of past industry remains etched in the local temperament, the modern rhythm is dictated by the seasonal shift of the woods and the proximity to the still, dark waters of Lake Glory. Life here is defined by these small, persistent landmarks, where the scale of human activity feels secondary to the slow, enduring movement of the water passing through Long Hollow and beyond.
