How to Use This South Sterling, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

South Sterling emerges from a landscape defined by the persistent, winding course of Wallenpaupack Creek, which carves a path through the dense, verdant terrain of the region. It lies 18.3 miles southeast of Dunmore, PA (from Dunmore, PA: bearing 126°T), and is situated 9.1 miles east-southeast of Daleville. The earth here feels ancient and heavy, shaped by the elevation of the nearby Pocono Mountains, whose silhouettes loom against the horizon like silent, watchful sentinels. Only a mile away, the quiet expanse of Tobyhanna State Park offers a sanctuary of untamed woodland, while Taylor Pond remains a still, reflective glass tucked into the folds of the countryside. The air in South Sterling carries a crisp, earthen scent, particularly at dusk when the fading light catches the mist rising from the creek, casting long, violet shadows across the fields and turning the deep green of the trees into a somber, muted gray.

Economic life in South Sterling has long been tethered to the rhythms of the land, moving in a slow, deliberate cadence that favors permanence over the frantic pace of larger hubs. Historically, the inhabitants looked to the timber and the soil to build a livelihood, carving out a existence amidst the rugged geography that includes the deep, sheltered depression of Gas Hollow. While the modern world presses against these borders, the local identity remains anchored in a quiet self-reliance, with residents often finding their way toward the Lakeside Trail to traverse the terrain that defines their home. The legacy of the area is not found in grand monuments, but in the enduring way the community maintains its connection to the surrounding woods and waters, ensuring that the character of South Sterling persists through the changing seasons with a steady, unyielding grace.
