How to Use This Strong, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Strong occupies a rugged expanse of land where the North Branch Shamokin Creek carves a persistent, narrow path through the earth. It lies 14.2 miles south of Bloomsburg, PA (from Bloomsburg, PA: bearing 176°T), and is situated 6.4 miles east of Shamokin. The landscape around Strong is defined by a deep, inland stillness, far removed from the motion of the coast, where the horizon is shaped by the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains. Here, the ground carries the weight of a long industrial memory, its soil and stone marked by the persistent, quiet endurance of the Pennsylvania terrain. At the edge of the local geography, the stillness of the Locust Summit Retention Pond offers a glassy, meditative contrast to the flowing water nearby, while Unknown Park provides a localized point of contact with the unmanicured woodland that defines the region.

Strong emerged from the hard labor of the anthracite coal industry, a history that remains visible in the skeletal remains of old mining infrastructure and the stoic, brick-built character of its architecture. The local economy, once tethered entirely to the extraction of coal, has shifted over the decades, leaving the inhabitants to navigate a quieter, more deliberate pace of life. The daily rhythm of Strong is measured by the slant of light hitting the valley walls and the persistent, low-frequency hum of regional transit moving through the corridor. It is a place where the air holds a particular, sharp clarity during the cooler months, and the structural integrity of the old buildings continues to anchor the identity of the people who reside within its borders.
