How to Use This Wilburton, Pennsylvania Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Wilburton, 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 Wilburton.
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 Wilburton, Pennsylvania
Wilburton is a locality in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 18.0 people per km². Wilburton is located at 40.8181°N, 76.3666°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 17888.Wilburton sits amidst a landscape defined by the persistent, dark currents of the North Branch Shamokin Creek, which carve a quiet path through the terrain. It lies 12.8 miles northwest of Pottsville, PA (from Pottsville, PA: bearing 316°T), and is situated 2.8 miles east-northeast of Mount Carmel. The earth here holds the weight of a long-standing anthracite memory, a landscape shaped by the coal that once fueled the industry of the region and dictated the rhythms of daily labor. Silence now settles over the ground where the extraction of mineral wealth defined the purpose of the inhabitants, leaving behind a scarred but resilient topography that slowly yields to the growth of the Weiser State Forest. Just a mile away, the water of the Brush Valley Reservoir remains still, offering a contrast to the rugged, industrial history that remains etched into the character of the soil. Wilburton exists in the quiet aftermath of these extractive cycles, where the light at dusk catches the gray slate and shale, illuminating a place that remembers the deep, rhythmic pulse of the earth.

About This Wilburton Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wilburton, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.818143, -76.366615. 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 Wilburton includes the ZIP code (17888), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Columbia County (Bloomsburg), and school district assignment.
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.
