How to Use This West Falls, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

West Falls defines the sharp, deliberate curve of the Susquehanna River, where the water carves a deep path through the dense, verdant terrain of the interior. It lies 10.7 miles west-northwest of Scranton, PA (from Scranton, PA: bearing 290°T), and is situated 8.8 miles northwest of Old Forge. The air here holds a crisp, heavy stillness, especially when the light of a late afternoon slants across the George Hock Memorial Park, illuminating the dark, mossy stones that line the base of Buttermilk Falls. To the west, the horizon is anchored by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Pocono Mountains, their jagged edges softened by a permanent layer of atmospheric blue. The land surrounding West Falls rises and falls in rhythmic, wooded swells, providing a landscape that feels both ancient and insistently present, far removed from the reach of any maritime influence.

History in West Falls remains tethered to the slow, steady hum of the river, which once dictated the movement of goods and the expansion of early settlements along its banks. The local economy, having moved past its reliance on the extraction industries that defined the broader region, now finds its character in the quiet persistence of small-scale commerce and the rhythms of those who live within the reach of Thurston Hollow. Residents often travel the short distance to Lake Winola when the heat of summer settles over the valley, or they seek the solitude offered by the Pinnacle Trail, which winds through the higher elevations. Life in West Falls proceeds with a measured, deliberate pace, where the changing of the seasons is marked not by grand events, but by the subtle shifts in the color of the deciduous canopy and the varying volume of the river as it flows toward the horizon.
