How to Use This West Pittston, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Pittston occupies a level expanse of land framed by the steady, dark current of the Susquehanna River. It lies 7.1 miles northeast of Kingston, PA (from Kingston, PA: bearing 50°T), and is situated 8.8 miles southwest of Scranton. The air here carries a crisp, inland weight, especially when the light of an autumn afternoon turns the brick facades of older homes into shades of deep, burnt copper. To the east, the distant silhouette of the Pocono Mountains provides a sharp, serrated edge to the horizon, while the immediate landscape remains defined by the broad, quiet artery of the river. Residents often gather in Riverfront Park to watch the water move, a place where the stillness of the afternoon is broken only by the occasional rustle of leaves or the low, rhythmic murmur of the current against the bank.

Anthracite memory lingers in the architecture of West Pittston, where the sturdy, unadorned lines of early twentieth-century construction recall an era defined by the labor of the mines. While the heavy industry that once dictated the local economy has long since receded, the town retains a sense of practical permanence, with wide, shaded streets that seem to hold the quiet confidence of a place that has seen its most turbulent cycles pass. Beyond the settled grid of the neighborhood, the terrain eventually gives way to the rugged, shadowed folds of Dark Hollow, a reminder of the wilder, unyielding landscape that persists just outside the edge of human activity. Life here moves with a deliberate, measured pace, grounded by the steady gravity of the regional history and the simple, persistent beauty of the valley floor.
