How to Use This Chest Springs, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Chest Springs emerges from the high, uneven terrain of the Allegheny Plateau, marked by the persistent, cold clarity of Duclos Run as it cuts through the local topography. It lies 11.9 miles west-northwest of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 291°T), and is situated 9.0 miles northeast of Ebensburg. The landscape here is defined by a rugged, elevated austerity, where the air holds a thin, sharp edge even in the height of summer, and the horizon is perpetually anchored by the dark, distant silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains. To the west, the landscape deepens into the quiet expanse of Kaylor Hollow, while the nearby water of Glendale Lake offers a stillness that mirrors the muted, slate-gray skies common to these heights. The light at dusk here does not so much fade as it sinks into the earth, turning the fields into long, violet shadows that seem to hold the weight of the plateau’s quiet geology.

Chest Springs carries the remnants of a nineteenth-century frontier ambition, when the promise of timber and small-scale agriculture drew families to settle among the dense, hardwood timberlands. While the local economy has long since shifted away from the intensive industry that defined much of the surrounding region, the influence of the land remains, with the rhythm of life governed by the changing seasons and the slow maintenance of the surrounding acreage. Residents often look toward the nearby grounds of Ashville Park to find a reprieve in the dense, managed woodlands, a contrast to the cleared, orderly plots that constitute the immediate vicinity. The identity of Chest Springs persists in this deliberate, unhurried persistence, where the historical memory of the plateau informs a present that favors the steady labor of the land over the frenetic pace of the modern centers further afield.
