How to Use This Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Tunkhannock reveals itself through the steady, amber-hued passage of the Tunkhannock Creek, which carves a deliberate path through the landscape with the patience of a slow-moving clock. It lies 17.2 miles west-northwest of Scranton, PA (from Scranton, PA: bearing 301°T), and is situated 7.4 miles northwest of Falls. The terrain here is defined by a dense, layered topography, where the land rises into subtle ridges that soften the horizon long before the distant Appalachian Mountains exert their influence. Two miles from the center, the quiet surface of Cruver Pond holds the reflection of the sky, a still counterpart to the active flow of the nearby basin known as Benson Hollow. The light at dusk settles heavily upon the valley floor, turning the foliage into deep shades of copper and slate, while the air carries the crisp, sharp scent of damp earth and cooling stone. Within the borders of River Street Park, the ground meets the water in an unadorned embrace, providing a place where the gravity of the day seems to dissipate into the current.

Tunkhannock functions as a pivot point for the surrounding region, its identity forged in the intersection of local commerce and the endurance of a landscape that has long supported those who work its soil. The history of the area is etched into the brickwork of its center, where the architecture reflects a period of industrious growth that once relied on the movement of timber and the promise of the rails. While the economy has shifted away from the early extraction industries, the town maintains a deliberate pace, favoring the persistence of local trade over the frantic speed of larger centers. Seven miles away, the vertical drop of Buttermilk Falls serves as a natural marker of the region’s hidden power, a reminder of the raw, unhurried forces that shaped the territory long before the first foundations were laid. Life in Tunkhannock persists with a quiet confidence, grounded in the seasonal cycle of the fields and the enduring utility of the waterways that define its borders.

Detailed location data for Tunkhannock includes the ZIP code (18657), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Wyoming County (Tunkhannock), and school district assignment (Tunkhannock Area School District).

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.
