How to Use This Burnham, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Burnham occupies a narrow corridor of the valley floor, defined by the persistent, cold-running waters of the Kishacoquillas Creek that divide the terrain. It lies 18.6 miles southeast of State College, PA (from State College, PA: bearing 125°T), and is situated 2.7 miles north of Lewistown. The earth here is heavy with the geology of the Appalachian Mountains, which loom as a jagged, distant blue silhouette against the northern sky, while the immediate landscape remains anchored by the low, shadow-heavy depressions of Dry Valley. Sunlight in Burnham often arrives late and departs early, caught by the ridges that compress the horizon and cast long, cooling violet shades across the backyards and asphalt drives. A quiet stillness permeates the air, a weight that seems to settle in the hollows and cling to the damp stone foundations of the older homes, grounding the locality in the deep, unyielding soil of the interior.

Industrial ambition once forged the iron-willed rhythm of Burnham, leaving behind a legacy of steel and manufacturing that still dictates the scale of the architecture and the orientation of the streets. The daily pulse of the local economy remains tied to this mechanical inheritance, a silent conversation between the past output of the mills and the current, more modest labor that sustains the neighborhood. Residents find space for reflection at Park, a modest stretch of green that serves as a communal lung amidst the grid of utilitarian brick and wood-frame houses. Life here moves with the deliberate, measured pace of a place that has seen the rise and fall of heavy industry, leaving the people to watch the seasons shift across the ridges, always within reach of the quiet, glassy surface of Clearview Reservoir or the steady, winding path of the creek.
