How to Use This Taylor, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Taylor holds a distinct position within the ridge-and-valley landscape of northeastern Pennsylvania. It lies 2.5 miles west-southwest of Scranton, PA (from Scranton, PA: bearing 247°T), and is situated 4.2 miles west-southwest of Dunmore. Keyser Creek flows with a persistent, quiet resolve past the foundations of Taylor, carving a path through the earth that has long defined the local topography. Beyond the immediate terrain, the distant silhouette of the Pocono Mountains provides a ragged, blue-gray boundary to the horizon during the clear light of late afternoon. Residents often find respite in the green expanses of Derenick Memorial Park, which offers a modest sanctuary from the surrounding industrial legacy. The air here carries the scent of damp soil and ancient stone, reflecting a climate shaped by the shifting seasons of an inland basin.

Anthracite coal once dictated the pulse of Taylor, drawing generations of laborers to its subterranean veins and shaping the architecture of its neighborhoods. The economy has since migrated away from the dark, heavy work of the mines, transitioning toward modern logistics and diverse commercial enterprises that occupy the repurposed land. Brick facades and sturdy residential streets remain as quiet evidence of the immigrant families who first established the social framework of the region. Work in Taylor now follows the rhythms of a changing global market, yet the stubborn persistence of the earlier era remains etched in the stoic character of the local infrastructure. This transition has left a legacy of resilience, where the heavy industry of the past informs the pragmatic, forward-looking spirit of the present.

Cultural life in Taylor thrives on a deep sense of community that values the continuity of local traditions and the quiet dignity of everyday labor. Nearby attractions like the Nay Aug Park Gorge and the cascading waters of Nay Aug Falls serve as reminders of the rugged natural beauty that persists just a few miles beyond the residential grid. Travelers seeking a connection to the landscape often venture toward the Pinnacle Trail to survey the expansive terrain from a higher elevation. While Taylor maintains a modest profile, it shares in the broader regional heritage that honors the fortitude of its ancestors. The community remembers its history without pretense, focusing instead on the steady, unadorned quality of life that defines this corner of the state.
