How to Use This Broad Top City, Pennsylvania Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Broad Top City, 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 Broad Top City.

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.

Broad Top City rises from the rugged, elevated terrain of the Allegheny Plateau, where the landscape is defined by deep, forested folds and long, parallel ridges. It lies 25.6 miles south-southeast of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 148°T), and is situated 16.1 miles southeast of Roaring Spring. Shoup Run carves its way through the immediate vicinity, its waters marking the low points of the topography as they move toward the drainage basins that eventually feed the distant, larger watersheds of the region. To the west, the dark, jagged silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains command the horizon, casting long, violet shadows over the earth as the sun dips low. Residents often gather at the Broad Top City Ball Field, a central clearing that serves as a quiet anchor for the community against the backdrop of dense, upland timber. The air here carries a crisp, mineral quality, particularly during the transition of seasons when the light turns thin and sharp, illuminating the limestone outcrops that break through the thin, stubborn soil.

History in Broad Top City is written in the silence of abandoned drifts and the weathered foundations of structures that once served a bustling coal-mining economy. Decades ago, the pulse of the region beat in rhythm with the extraction of high-quality bituminous coal, a trade that drew laborers from across the Atlantic to settle these remote, high-altitude ridges. While the heavy industry has long since receded, leaving behind a landscape reclaimed by hardwoods and second-growth brush, the character of the place remains forged by that era of extraction and hard-won resilience. Those seeking the stillness of the wilderness often traverse the Gracey Trail or find solace near the expansive, quiet waters of Raystown Lake. Life in Broad Top City moves with a deliberate, measured pace, far removed from the frantic sprawl of metropolitan centers, where the primary concerns remain the maintenance of the homestead and the seasonal cycle of the highland woods.
