How to Use This Alfarata, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Alfarata, Pennsylvania

Alfarata is a locality in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 154. The population density is 106.4 people per km². Alfarata is located at 40.6619°N, 77.4559°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 16611, 17044.

Alfarata holds its place in the quiet topography of the Commonwealth, defined by the persistent, silver-threaded path of Meadow Creek as it carves through the earth. It lies 23.0 miles east-southeast of State College, PA (from State College, PA: bearing 113°T), and is situated 7.4 miles northeast of Lewistown. This landscape rises into the long, rhythmic spines of the Appalachian Mountains that darken the eastern horizon, while the immediate surroundings soften into the gentle concavity of Pleasant Valley. Sunlight here often catches the lingering mist that clings to the low-lying fields, illuminating a terrain that feels ancient and deliberate in its stillness. Beyond the immediate banks of the creek, the land transitions into the dense, shadowed timber of State Game Land 107, where the silence of the woods provides a counterpoint to the subtle, daily motion of the valley floor.

Alfarata maintains a character forged by the slow, steady labor of those who once looked to the soil and the timber for their sustenance. While the regional economy has shifted away from the intensive extraction that defined much of the surrounding territory, the residents retain a pragmatic connection to the land that echoes the industry of earlier generations. Life moves at a pace dictated by the seasonal shifts in the canopy and the movement of the creek, far removed from the frantic pulse of larger urban centers. Travelers seeking a moment of respite often look toward the distant, serene waters of Clearview Reservoir or prepare for a trek along the Peters Trail, finding in the quietude of Alfarata a rare, grounded clarity that persists in the deep interior of the state.
