Explore Chestnut Ridge, 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 Chestnut Ridge, 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 Chestnut Ridge.
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.

Chestnut Ridge emerges from the landscape as a series of quiet, deliberate elevations that define the physical character of the terrain. It lies 12.7 miles south of Rostraver, PA (from Rostraver, PA: bearing 180°T), and is situated 7.3 miles northwest of Uniontown. The Rowes Run carves a narrow, persistent path through the earth here, its waters moving with a steady, cooling urgency past the foundations of the land. To the east, the horizon is anchored by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains, while the local topography deepens into the shaded, verdant basin of Keister Hollow. The air carries the distinct weight of the Allegheny Plateau, a crisp, settled quality that seems to sharpen the edges of the trees and turn the afternoon light into a pale, translucent gold. Just beyond the immediate reach of the dwellings, the dense canopy of Forbes State Forest provides a dark, sprawling backdrop to the open meadows that define the local perspective.
Chestnut Ridge maintains a rhythm dictated by the land’s long history of extraction and the quiet persistence of those who remain. The local economy, once tethered to the pulse of regional industry, now breathes in a slower, more measured cadence, with the Chestnut Ridge Ballfield serving as a central point where the community gathers under the evening sky. Life here is marked by the passage of the seasons across the fields rather than the frantic pace of the larger hubs nearby, and the silence of the woods is rarely broken by anything louder than the wind moving through the hardwoods. While Peters Lake remains a distant, quiet presence on the periphery of local life, the identity of Chestnut Ridge is firmly rooted in the immediate, tangible earth beneath its feet. It is a place where the work of the day is measured by the light fading against the ridge, leaving the inhabitants to find their own stillness in the shadow of the hills.

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.
