How to Use This Sugar Notch, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Sugar Notch occupies a narrow, rugged crease of land where the earth seems to have folded upon itself to accommodate the cooling shadows of the surrounding terrain. It lies 3.3 miles northwest of Mountain Top, PA (from Mountain Top, PA: bearing 306°T), and is situated 4.2 miles southwest of Wilkes-Barre. The landscape is defined by the steep, uncompromising slopes that rise toward the horizon, where the distant Pocono Mountains appear as a softened, hazy blue silhouette against the sky. Nearby, the quiet waters of South Pond mirror the changing moods of the light, while the steady, rhythmic passage of Sugar Notch Run carves a path through the brush. To the north, the expanse of the Wyoming Valley opens up, providing a stark contrast to the tighter, more intimate geography of the borough itself. Even in the height of summer, the air here maintains a crisp, lingering coolness, and the golden hour casts long, melancholic shadows across the hillside that seem to hold the quiet weight of the afternoon.

The legacy of Sugar Notch is inextricably linked to the anthracite coal industry, a history that remains etched into the very soil and the resilient character of the people who reside here. Once a bustling hub of extraction, the economy has long since shifted, leaving behind a quietude that settles over the brick and frame houses like a fine dust. Residents find recreation and solace in the vast, wooded reaches of State Game Land 207, an area that provides a necessary buffer of wilderness against the encroaching pace of the modern world. Life in Sugar Notch moves with a deliberate, steady pulse, governed more by the changing seasons and the turn of the leaves than by the frantic demands of the industrial centers further afield. On quiet evenings, one might catch the faint, rushing sound of Whirlpool Canyon Falls carried on the wind, a reminder of the wild, untamed water that exists just beyond the familiar, well-worn streets.
