How to Use This Ulster, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Ulster, Pennsylvania

Ulster is a locality in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 349. The population density is 148.6 people per km². Ulster is located at 41.8459°N, 76.5019°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 18850.

Ulster occupies a quiet, low-lying expanse where the earth dips into the basin of Toad Hollow, grounding the landscape in a rhythmic, persistent stillness. It lies 49.1 miles north-northeast of Williamsport, PA (from Williamsport, PA: bearing 32°T), and is situated 9.2 miles south of Sayre. Cash Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the local terrain, its waters often reflecting the muted gray of a winter sky or the deep, verdant heavy-leafed green of mid-summer. The air here holds a particular, damp clarity, especially during the transition of seasons when the light thins and stretches over the fields like a fine, worn fabric. Residents find a familiar sanctuary in Totem Park, a space that serves as the immediate green lung of the locality, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains occasionally punctuates the horizon to the far west. Four miles to the north, Balsam Pond remains a steady, unmoving presence, its surface a dark mirror that defines the quiet periphery of the local geography.

Ulster maintains a pace dictated by the slow turning of the soil and the legacy of agricultural industry that has long defined the life of its inhabitants. The economy here is measured in the steady yield of the surrounding fields and the modest commerce that keeps the local thoroughfares functional, echoing a time when the labor of the hands was the primary currency of the day. There is an understated resilience in the way the architecture persists, with structures that have weathered decades of frost and sun, standing as quiet, functional witnesses to the shifts in local fortune. The culture of Ulster is one of deep-rooted familiarity, where the rhythm of the day is marked by the movement of the sun across the basin and the seasonal cycles of the land. It is a place where the passage of time feels less like a racing clock and more like the slow, deliberate accumulation of silt along the banks of the nearby creek.

About This Ulster Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ulster, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 41.845908, -76.501888. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Ulster includes the ZIP code (18850), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Bradford County (Towanda), and school district assignment (Athens 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.
