How to Use This Yorklyn, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Yorklyn, Pennsylvania

Yorklyn is a locality in York County, Pennsylvania, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,811. The population density is 1553.8 people per km². Yorklyn is located at 39.9923°N, 76.6464°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 17402.

Yorklyn emerges from the landscape as a quiet collection of structures defined by the persistent, unhurried push of inland terrain. It lies 4.8 miles east-northeast of York, PA (from York, PA: bearing 64°T), and is situated 9.3 miles east of Weigelstown. The topography here favors the subtle, persistent incline of the earth, where the moisture of the soil supports thick stands of hardwood that turn the color of burnt copper when the autumn light hits the canopy. Only a few miles away, the flow of Kreutz Creek carves a narrow, persistent path through the low-lying brush, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains marks the western horizon like a jagged ink line drawn against the sky. Those who walk the trails of Springetts Oaks Park find the air carries a distinct, cool weight, undisturbed by the rush of larger, more frantic centers of commerce.

Yorklyn holds the memory of a time when the labor of the region was tied tightly to the land and the modest mills that once harnessed the local water. The economy has shifted away from its early industrial pulse, leaving behind a pace of life that values the preservation of its quiet, brick-accented character. Residents look toward the nearby York Valley for the rhythms of larger trade, yet maintain a distinct identity shaped by the slow, seasonal cycles of the interior plains. On clear days, the atmosphere feels thin and sharp, carrying the faint, earthy scent of damp fields and the silence of a place that has long ago settled into its own steady, unremarkable grace.

About This Yorklyn Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Yorklyn, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 39.99232, -76.646355. 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 Yorklyn includes the ZIP code (17402), 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 (Central 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.
