How to Use This Beaverdale, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Beaverdale, Pennsylvania

Beaverdale is located at 40.3244°N, 78.7014°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 15921, 17851, 15955.

Beaverdale occupies a rugged expanse of the Allegheny Plateau where the South Fork Little Conemaugh River carves a deep, persistent path through the earth. It lies 11.9 miles east of Johnstown, PA (from Johnstown, PA: bearing 92°T), and is situated 9.2 miles northeast of Windber. The landscape around Beaverdale is defined by the sharp, verdant rise of the Allegheny Mountains visible on the horizon, while the terrain itself remains a complex arrangement of steep slopes and narrow ravines. Sunlight here often catches the mist rising from the damp ground, turning the air a pale, translucent silver as it drifts between the trees of nearby Babcock State Forest. Residents frequently find respite in the quiet corners of Adams Township Park, a space that serves as a communal anchor amidst the surrounding wild topography.

Coal mining historically dictated the rhythm of labor in Beaverdale, leaving behind a legacy of endurance that still clings to the weathered architecture and the quiet, deliberate pace of the streets. While the heavy industry of the past has softened, the economic character remains tied to the resilient spirit of a population accustomed to the demands of a high-altitude, inland climate. Those who seek the solitude of the wilderness often look toward the Lost Turkey Trail for long, meditative walks, or travel toward the distant, rushing descent of Winding Staircase Falls. Life in Beaverdale is marked by these seasonal shifts, from the golden light that settles over the nearby Beaverdale Reservoir in autumn to the heavy, insulating snows that turn the region into a silent, frozen basin.

About This Beaverdale Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Beaverdale, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.324378, -78.701436. 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 Beaverdale includes the ZIP code (15921, 17851, 15955), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Cambria County (Ebensburg), and school district assignment (Forest Hills 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.
