How to Use This Wakefield, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Wakefield, Pennsylvania

Wakefield is a locality in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 634. The population density is 143.7 people per km². Wakefield is located at 39.7737°N, 76.1791°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 17563.

Wakefield occupies a quiet expanse of the Pennsylvania interior, defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of the Conowingo Creek as it carves a path through the darkening soil. It lies 19.4 miles south-southeast of Lancaster, PA (from Lancaster, PA: bearing 160°T), and is situated 7.8 miles southwest of Union. Beyond the immediate banks of the creek, the land lifts into a series of modest, cultivated rises that suggest the distant, hazy blue silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains on the far horizon. Five miles to the north, the dense, verdant cover of William Penn State Forest regulates the temperature of the afternoon, casting long, cooling shadows across the fields. The air here holds a crisp, earthen weight, and at dusk, the light turns a bruised gold, catching the edges of the leaves and the quiet stillness of Living Stones Fellowship, which serves as a steady, grounded center for the local landscape.

Wakefield maintains a character forged by the slow, deliberate work of agriculture and the legacy of regional trade that has defined these inland corridors for generations. While the pace of life remains tethered to the seasonal turn of the crops, the proximity of the Mason-Dixon Trail seven miles away brings an occasional traveler through the periphery, connecting the locality to a wider history of boundary and transit. The local economy relies on the stewardship of the land and the modest commerce that clusters near the creek, far removed from the clamor of the urban centers to the north and east. Residents often look toward the nearby Octoraro Lakes or the distant, rushing spray of Amos Falls for recreation, finding in these waters a reflective mirror to their own measured, deliberate way of existence.
