How to Use This The Escape, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

About The Escape, Pennsylvania

The Escape is a locality in Pike County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 416. The population density is 246.1 people per km². The Escape is located at 41.3556°N, 75.3060°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 18426.

The Escape emerges from the dense, verdant folds of the landscape as a quiet confluence of water and earth, defined by the persistent presence of the Pocono Mountains standing as a distant, hazy silhouette against the northern sky. It lies 17.5 miles east-southeast of Dunmore, PA (from Dunmore, PA: bearing 105°T), and is situated 5.5 miles south-southeast of The Hideout. The Escape draws its character from the nearby waters of Lake Wallenpaupack, which mirror the shifting slate-grays and bruised purples of the twilight, while the cooling currents of Wallenpaupack Creek carve a path through the valley floor. Nearby, the ecological stillness of Lacawac Sanctuary preserves a wilder, more ancient silence, contrasted by the sharp, rhythmic tumble of Little Falls where the water breaks against the moss-slicked stone. A traveler following the Boundary Trail might notice how the light at dusk catches the rising vapor from the lowlands, turning the air into a shimmering, ephemeral veil that separates the solid ground from the darkening canopy of the woods.

The Escape bears the weight of a regional history rooted in the extraction of timber and the slow, deliberate cultivation of the soil, long after the heavy industry of the broader territory faded into memory. Today, the economy of The Escape functions on a smaller scale, favoring the quiet trade of local goods and the seasonal movement of visitors seeking the seclusion of Gas Hollow or the shade of the distant First Forest Tree Planting. Life in The Escape moves with a deliberate, measured pace, dictated by the turning of the seasons rather than the frantic demands of the outside world. There is a particular clarity to the morning here, where the frost clings to the edges of the fields and the woodsmoke from a few scattered chimneys rises straight and thin into the pale, high air, signaling a community that has learned to thrive in the steady, unadorned rhythm of its own geography.
