How to Use This Smithville, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Smithville emerges from the muted green of the Pennsylvania landscape where the current of Huber Run cuts a deliberate, silver path through the lowlands. It lies 8.2 miles south-southeast of Lancaster, PA (from Lancaster, PA: bearing 160°T), and is situated 3.9 miles south-southeast of Willow Street. The topography surrounding Smithville is defined by a persistent, quiet pressure of earth, where the land swells into rounded ridges that suggest the distant, hazy presence of the Appalachian Mountains far to the west. Five miles to the east, the stillness of Muddy Run Recreation Reservoir serves as a quiet mirror to the sky, while the air in the valley often carries the damp, cool scent of the soil found in Grubb Hollow. The light at dusk here possesses a particular clarity, lingering against the brick facades and turning the gray slate roofs into sharp silhouettes against the deepening violet of the sky.

Smithville retains the steady, industrious character of a place that once looked toward the rails for its heartbeat, a legacy now preserved in the quiet conversion of old corridors into the Enola Low-Grade Trail. This thoroughfare invites walkers and cyclists to trace the path where heavy iron once dictated the movement of the local economy, though today the town finds its rhythm in the modest trade of small businesses and the seasonal cycles of the surrounding fields. Sixteen miles away, the expanse of William Penn State Forest provides a dense, emerald backdrop to the region’s history, reinforcing a sense of isolation from the frantic pace of larger urban centers. Life in Smithville proceeds with a deliberate, unadorned focus, marked by the sound of the wind through the trees and the steady, unhurried passage of the seasons across the plains.

About This Smithville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Smithville, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.97173, -79.919221. 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 Smithville includes the ZIP code (17560, 16061, 16928), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Lancaster County (Lancaster), and school district assignment.

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.
