How to Use This Blain, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Blain emerges from the verdant, folded earth of the ridge-and-valley province, where the landscape is defined by the steady, rhythmic pulse of Shermans Creek as it carves through the land. It lies 19.5 miles west-northwest of Carlisle, PA (from Carlisle, PA: bearing 299°T), and is situated 18.3 miles south of Lewistown. Beyond the immediate reach of the water, the horizon is anchored by the blue-shadowed silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains, which loom to the west like ancient sentinels guarding the interior. Three miles away, the dense, quiet canopy of Tuscarora State Forest spreads across the slopes, offering a cool, pine-scented refuge that contrasts with the open, sun-drenched fields of the valley floor. In the quiet hours of evening, the light catches the surface of the land in long, amber streaks, illuminating the deep green of the meadows and the shifting, muted tones of the nearby Blain Hollow.

Blain persists as a quiet intersection of agricultural heritage and the steady pace of rural life, anchored by the presence of Blain Area Park where the local rhythm finds its center. History here is written in the soil, worked by generations who have long understood the demands of the Pennsylvania seasons and the importance of the land’s yield. The economy remains tethered to these traditional roots, favoring the slow, deliberate cultivation of the earth over the frantic pace of industrial centers. For those seeking the solitude of the terrain, the Old Blain Trail offers a passage into the rugged character of the surrounding woods, while the stillness of Bear Pond provides a reflective silence five miles removed from the main thoroughfare. Life in Blain is measured not by the clock, but by the turning of the crops and the seasonal shifts in the air that move through the valley, preserving a sense of place that remains stubbornly, beautifully its own.

About This Blain Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Blain, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.338416, -77.512488. 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 Blain includes the ZIP code (17006), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Perry County (Bloomfield), and school district assignment (West Perry 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.
