How to Use This Black Lick, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Black Lick, Pennsylvania

Black Lick is a locality in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,268. The population density is 196.2 people per km². Black Lick is located at 40.4691°N, 79.1881°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 15717, 15716.

Black Lick emerges from the landscape as a quiet junction where the moisture of the earth clings to the low-lying fields and the dark, rhythmic currents of Blacklick Creek. It lies 10.1 miles south-southwest of Indiana, PA (from Indiana, PA: bearing 194°T), and is situated 4.6 miles northeast of Blairsville. The air here holds a weight common to the Allegheny Plateau, thick with the scent of damp loam and the cooling shadows cast by the distant Allegheny Mountains that sharpen the horizon to the east. Within the protected boundaries of the Conemaugh River Lake, the terrain retains a rugged, unhurried character, defined by the slow erosion of the slopes and the persistent, wandering path of the water. Sunlight at dusk catches the silt-heavy surface of the creek, turning the water to polished pewter as it winds through a basin that feels ancient, untouched by the frantic pace of the wider world.

Black Lick remains a place defined by the steady, industrial echoes of a history rooted in coal and the labor of the rail lines that once dictated the pulse of the valley. While the economy has shifted away from the heavy extraction of the past, the remnants of that era persist in the sturdy architecture and the resilient, pragmatic temperament of those who live here. The proximity to the wider expanse of the Conemaugh River Lake provides a reprieve from the encroaching modern sprawl, offering a space where the land is managed with a sense of stewardship rather than mere consumption. Life in Black Lick follows the slow turning of the seasons, marked by the transformation of the timbered ridges and the quiet, persistent flow of the waterways that serve as the lifeblood of this inland corridor.

About This Black Lick Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Black Lick, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.469136, -79.188058. 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 Black Lick includes the ZIP code (15717, 15716), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Indiana County (Indiana), and school district assignment (Blairsville-Saltsburg 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.
