How to Use This Cedar Crest, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Cedar Crest, Pennsylvania

Cedar Crest is a locality in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 157. The population density is 279.3 people per km². Cedar Crest is located at 40.3966°N, 77.8858°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 17066.

Cedar Crest unfolds as a series of limestone ridges and dense thickets that define the rugged character of the interior landscape. It lies 27.4 miles south of State College, PA (from State College, PA: bearing 183°T), and is situated 8.9 miles southeast of Huntingdon. The Furnace Run carves a narrow, persistent path through the local topography, its cold waters reflecting the muted colors of a sky that often hangs low and heavy over the surrounding woods. To the west, the distant peaks of the Appalachian Mountains loom against the horizon, providing a permanent, jagged boundary to the view. Directly adjacent to the settlement, State Game Land 112 stretches out in a sprawl of untamed brush and timber, while the nearby depression of Long Hollow traps the morning mist until well past the hour of breakfast. The air here holds a distinct sharpness, smelling of damp earth and decaying leaves, a reminder that the land remains indifferent to the small human footprint placed upon it.

Cedar Crest persists through a quiet economy tied to the land and the memory of older, harder labor. While industrial ambition once fueled the region, the current pace of life is dictated by the slow shift of seasons and the maintenance of the rural infrastructure that keeps the surrounding acreage connected. Residents often look toward the resources of the interior, perhaps taking a quiet drive toward the water of Singers Gap Reservoir or walking the perimeter of the Anthill Trail to observe the changing forest canopy. Education and land management are constant, distant points of gravity, as the influence of The Pennsylvania State University Experimental Forest dictates how the timber is understood and protected. Life in Cedar Crest moves with a deliberate, unadorned gravity, where the routine of the day is measured not by clocks, but by the fading light that catches the gray bark of the trees as evening descends.
