Explore Trucksville, Pennsylvania, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Trucksville, 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 Trucksville.
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.

Trucksville occupies a quiet stretch of land where the earth rises in slow, deliberate swells toward the distant, hazy blue of the Pocono Mountains. It lies 3.4 miles north-northwest of Kingston, PA (from Kingston, PA: bearing 328°T), and is situated 4.8 miles north-northwest of Wilkes-Barre. Toby Creek cuts a persistent, winding path through the local topography, its waters moving with a steady, unforced urgency that mirrors the deliberate pace of those who live along its banks. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the landscape opens into the broader expanse of the Wyoming Valley, a basin that holds the cool, damp light of dawn long after the sun has cleared the ridge-lines. A short distance away, the still surface of Posten Pond acts as a dark, reflective mirror for the surrounding hardwoods, while the Back Mountain Trail provides a quiet corridor for residents to traverse the wooded perimeter of their home.
Trucksville carries the weight of an anthracite heritage that once defined the labor and ambition of the entire region, though the soot-stained industry of the past has long since given way to a quieter, modern persistence. The economy here functions on a modest scale, relying on the steady movement of commerce and the daily rhythms of a population that values the integrity of its own borders over the frantic pace of the larger nearby hubs. Life here is measured by the changing colors of the canopy and the seasonal maintenance of property, a routine that feels as anchored as the bedrock beneath the soil. On humid afternoons, the air grows heavy and thick, carrying the faint, earthy scent of damp loam from the nearby woods, a reminder that the wilder, uneven terrain of the interior is never far from the porch steps or the pavement of the local streets.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
