How to Use This Altamont, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Altamont occupies a quiet fold of the earth where the morning light catches the steep, slate-colored inclines of the local topography. It lies 7.1 miles north-northwest of Pottsville, PA (from Pottsville, PA: bearing 347°T), and is situated 9.8 miles east of Mount Carmel. The landscape remains defined by the persistent flow of Little Mahanoy Creek, which cuts a narrow, winding path through the brush just a mile from the center of Altamont. A short distance away, the still surface of Mud Run Reservoir mirrors the heavy, grey clouds that often drift over the region, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains marks the far edge of the horizon. Within the immediate boundaries, the stillness of Altamont Park offers a green reprieve, its quiet trails tracking the subtle, uneven shifts in the soil that characterize this inland terrain.

Altamont carries the quiet, enduring weight of an anthracite heritage, shaped by the labor that once defined the regional economy and left its mark on the local character. Men once descended into the dark, subterranean veins of the earth, a history that still echoes in the sturdy, unadorned architecture and the deliberate, measured pace of the residents who remain. While the industrial fervor has long since receded into memory, the community maintains a steady, internal rhythm, preferring the slow turn of seasons in Ringtown Valley to the frantic speed of the wider world. Life here is measured in the small, recurring patterns of the workday and the quiet maintenance of a landscape that asks for little but gives back in the form of deep, rooted stability.
