How to Use This Yatesville, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Yatesville occupies a steady, unassuming expanse of earth where the landscape transitions into the rugged character of the Pennsylvania interior. It lies 6.3 miles northeast of Wilkes Barre, PA (from Wilkes Barre, PA: bearing 51°T), and is situated 9.7 miles southwest of Scranton. The horizon remains dominated by the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Pocono Mountains, their blue-tinged ridges rising twenty-six miles away to frame a sky that often turns a bruised, resonant violet at dusk. Between these heights and the local ground, the terrain dips into the quiet, shaded depression of Dark Hollow, while the nearby flow of Gardner Creek serves as a persistent, low-voiced neighbor to the residents. Within the immediate perimeter, Yatesville Borough Park offers a patch of maintained green space that catches the long, golden light of late afternoon, grounding the neighborhood in a stillness that feels both ancient and entirely present.

Anthracite memory lingers in the soil here, a silent inheritance from an era when the pulse of the local economy beat in rhythm with the extraction of coal. While the industry has receded, the character of Yatesville remains defined by the persistence of those who stayed, working through the cycles of the seasons with a quiet, industrial dignity. The proximity of Gardner Creek Reservoir provides a reflective stillness to the geography, acting as a mirror for the changing foliage that marks the passage of the year. Life here moves with a deliberate, measured pace, far removed from the frantic acceleration of larger urban centers, yet connected to the broader history of the region. Those who seek the wilder edges of the landscape might venture further toward the rushing waters of Whirlpool Canyon Falls or traverse the distant stretches of the Pinnacle Trail, but the daily rhythm of Yatesville finds its contentment in the simple, steady permanence of the Pennsylvania ground.
