Explore Austin, 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 Austin, 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 Austin.
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.

Austin endures within the deep, narrow confines of Cody Hollow, where the landscape is defined by the persistent presence of Freeman Run. It lies 28.1 miles east-northeast of Saint Marys, PA (from Saint Marys, PA: bearing 60°T), and is situated 15.8 miles southeast of Port Allegany. The earth here holds a quiet, heavy quality, pressing upward into steep slopes that shadow the valley floor long before the sun actually slips behind the horizon. Just a mile away, the sprawling expanse of Susquehannock State Forest offers a dense, green permanence that contrasts with the modest scale of the buildings below. The air retains a lingering coolness, a dampness that rises from the soil and clings to the stone foundations, marking the rhythm of a place that knows the weight of its own geography.
Austin carries the gravity of its past in the silence that occasionally settles between the houses, a remnant of an era when the timber industry and the promise of a massive dam defined its existence. The local economy has shifted far from the frantic pace of the early twentieth century, leaving the residents to cultivate a life that moves with the slow, deliberate turn of the seasons. Those who wish to trace the wider terrain often find their way to the Ridge Trail, which offers a vantage point over the rugged, inland plateau. Despite the passage of time, the land remains the primary architect of the local character, demanding a certain resilience from all who remain to watch the light fade over the narrow, wooded ridges.

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.
