How to Use This Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Carlisle Barracks, 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 Carlisle Barracks.
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 Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania
Carlisle Barracks is a locality in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 938. The population density is 1074.7 people per km². Carlisle Barracks is located at 40.2101°N, 77.1730°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 17013.Carlisle Barracks commands a quiet plateau where the limestone-filtered waters of the Letort Spring Run pulse with a persistent, subterranean cold. It lies 1.0 miles northeast of Carlisle, PA (from Carlisle, PA: bearing 55°T), and is situated 8.7 miles west of Mechanicsburg. Beyond the manicured parade grounds, the horizon is defined by the serrated silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a dark, permanent boundary that anchors the sky. The air here holds a crisp, continental weight, cooling rapidly as the sun retreats behind the low, folded ridges of the valley. To the west, the landscape deepens into the shadowed basin of Rocky Hollow, while the quiet, reflective surface of Opossum Lake waits five miles off, mirroring the seasonal shifts of the Pennsylvania hardwoods.
Carlisle Barracks maintains a rhythm dictated by its long evolution from a colonial frontier outpost into a premier center for strategic military education. The local economy and daily atmosphere are shaped by this intellectual and institutional discipline, standing in contrast to the nearby agrarian stillness of Biddle Mission Park. Residents and scholars alike often traverse the regional landscape toward the more rugged, untamed reaches of Michaux State Forest, or find a steady, meditative pace walking the path of the Maple Hollow Trail. The legacy of the site remains palpable in the enduring brickwork and the measured, deliberate tempo of the grounds, where the urgency of national history settles into the calm, recurring cycles of the seasons.

About This Carlisle Barracks Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.2101, -77.173. 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 Carlisle Barracks includes the ZIP code (17013), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Cumberland County (Carlisle), and school district assignment (Carlisle Area 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.
