Explore Alexandria, Pennsylvania, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Alexandria, 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 Alexandria.
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.

Alexandria reveals itself through the steady, deliberate movement of the Frankstown Branch Juniata River as it carves a path through the valley floor. It lies 15.8 miles east of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 80°T), and is situated 6.8 miles northwest of Huntingdon. The landscape is defined by the deliberate contrast between the low, fertile bottomlands and the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains that mark the horizon line. Here, the quality of light at dusk possesses a peculiar, amber weight, casting long shadows across the fields and highlighting the limestone outcroppings that define the local geology. Residents move with a quiet awareness of the geography, from the quiet shade provided by the Pennsylvania State University Experimental Forest miles away to the damp, cool air that settles into Teaberry Hollow when the sun retreats. The terrain feels ancient and unhurried, a place where the earth holds its own counsel beneath a vast, inland sky.
Canal Park serves as a silent witness to the history of Alexandria, preserving the traces of a time when the movement of commerce relied upon the labor of mules and the slow passage of water. The local economy, once shaped by the industry of the canal era, has transitioned into a rhythm governed by agriculture and the maintenance of small-scale enterprises that respect the limitations of the valley. Those seeking a vantage point often look toward the Round Top Trail, which offers a perspective on the patchwork of farms and woodlots that have sustained families for generations. While the Petersburg Reservoir remains a quiet destination for those watching the water, the true character of Alexandria is found in the persistence of its modest architecture and the way the seasons dictate the pace of life, turning the landscape from the vibrant greens of early summer to the brittle, muted hues of late autumn.

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.
