How to Use This Wrightsville, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Wrightsville commands the eastern edge of the York Valley, where the land yields to the persistent, winding currents of the Kreutz Creek. It lies 1.5 miles west-southwest of Columbia, PA (from Columbia, PA: bearing 248°T), and is situated 9.0 miles west-southwest of East Hempfield. The air here holds a particular weight in the autumn, a crispness that clarifies the distance toward the hazy, violet-tinted silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains on the western horizon. Residents find a quiet stillness at Riverfront Park, where the ground levels out to meet the water, offering a vantage point to watch the slow, rhythmic movement of the landscape. The terrain is defined by its ancient, limestone-rich geology, a sturdy foundation that has persisted long after the initial settlement of the valley floor.

Wrightsville carries the memory of an industrial past, having once served as a vital transit point that shaped the regional economy through the movement of goods and masonry. Small, brick-fronted structures line the streets, reflecting a heritage of craftsmanship that remains visible in the sturdy, unadorned architecture of the older districts. While the pace of daily life has shifted away from the heavy manufacturing of previous generations, the influence of the Pennsylvania Dutch country remains present in the local temperament and the careful cultivation of the surrounding fields. Those seeking to venture further into the terrain often head toward the Camp Echo Trail or seek the quiet, inland respite offered by the waters of Lake Redman.

About This Wrightsville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wrightsville, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.023875, -76.531207. 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 Wrightsville includes the ZIP code (16340, 17368), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of York County (York), and school district assignment (Eastern York 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.
