How to Use This Blairs Mills, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Blairs Mills, Pennsylvania

Blairs Mills is a locality in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 280. The population density is 5.0 people per km².

Blairs Mills occupies a quiet intersection of limestone and shale where the persistent, winding course of Tuscarora Creek dictates the rhythm of the immediate landscape. It lies 24.1 miles north of Chambersburg, PA (from Chambersburg, PA: bearing 353°T), and is situated 19.2 miles north-northwest of Shippensburg. The terrain rises in steady, rhythmic folds toward the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains, which define the horizon with a heavy, ancient permanence. Sunlight here possesses a particular clarity, filtering through the humid air of the valley to illuminate the deep greens of the surrounding woodlands and the muted, earthy tones of the fields. To the west, the rugged expanse of State Game Land 251 offers a vast, unmanicured sanctuary of timber and brush, while the nearby Blair Hollow holds the cool, damp shadows of the afternoon long after the sun has retreated from the higher ground.

History lingers in the stone foundations and weathered timber of Blairs Mills, remnants of an era when the pulse of the local economy beat in time with milling operations and the steady extraction of resources from the land. Life today proceeds with a deliberate, unassuming pace, far removed from the clamor of the industrial centers that once defined the broader region. Residents often look toward the Old State Road Trail for a connection to the geography of the past, a path that traces the movement of earlier settlers through the rugged interior. Though the Mount Union Reservoir remains a distant presence on the map, the daily reality of Blairs Mills is shaped by the intimate proximity of the creek and the dense, quiet authority of the Tuscarora State Forest, which stands as a silent sentinel over the seasonal shifts of the valley.

About This Blairs Mills Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Blairs Mills, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.283694, -77.718325. 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 Blairs Mills includes the ZIP code (17213, 17009), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Huntingdon County (Huntingdon), and school district assignment.

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.
