Explore Cardale, Pennsylvania, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cardale, 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 Cardale.
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.

Cardale occupies a quiet stretch of the Allegheny Plateau where the land folds into a series of soft, wooded inclines and hollows. It lies 14.7 miles south-southwest of Rostraver, PA (from Rostraver, PA: bearing 192°T), and is situated 8.8 miles west-northwest of Uniontown. Dunlap Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the local terrain, its waters reflecting the gray-blue cast of the Pennsylvania sky as they push steadily toward the larger regional veins. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the landscape stretches toward the distant, hazy blue outlines of the Allegheny Mountains, which anchor the horizon against the encroaching dusk. Redstone Park offers a quiet clearing where the indigenous hardwoods stand as silent sentinels, and the air carries a crisp, earthen scent that deepens as one wanders toward the periphery of Forbes State Forest. Three miles away, the surface of Patsys Lake remains undisturbed, holding a stillness that seems to permeate the surrounding acreage of Hereford Hollow.
Cardale emerged from the industrious spirit of the coal-bearing strata that define much of this regional geology, leaving a legacy of brick foundations and deep-rooted community ties. The economy, once dictated by the rhythmic extraction of fuel from the earth, has since shifted, leaving behind a pace of life that favors persistence over haste. Streets are lined with modest homes that have seen generations pass, their porches holding the quiet observations of residents who have watched the seasons turn the foliage from vibrant green to a brittle, rusted gold. While the industrial clamor has receded, the character of Cardale remains tethered to the physical labor of its founding, a place where the weight of history is felt not in monuments, but in the enduring strength of the local masonry and the steady, unpretentious flow of the creek that continues to shape the ground beneath.

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.
