How to Use This Chicora, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Chicora emerges from the rugged topography of the Allegheny Plateau where the earth settles into a series of deep, persistent folds. It lies 10.0 miles northeast of Butler, PA (from Butler, PA: bearing 53°T), and is situated 9.3 miles east-northeast of Shanor-Northvue. Buffalo Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the landscape, its currents cutting through the limestone and shale that define the local geology. Chicora Community Park offers a quiet clearing where the dense canopy of hardwoods thins, allowing the sharp, clear light of late afternoon to illuminate the uneven terrain. On the distant horizon, the faint, blue-hued silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains suggest a vastness that grounds the immediate, intimate scale of the surrounding woodlands.

Economic memory in Chicora remains tethered to the extraction of resources and the steady, practical labor that once defined the regional shift from agriculture to industry. The influence of the nearby Binker Valley informs the drainage and agricultural patterns of the fields, while the proximity of Boydstown Reservoir provides a cooling stillness to the air during the humid summer months. Life here follows the deliberate, measured pace of a place that has seen the rise and fall of boom-town fortunes, leaving behind a quiet resilience in the architecture of the older storefronts. Residents maintain a connection to the soil and the seasonal shifts of the Pennsylvania climate, finding a sturdy, unpretentious beauty in the way the frost settles on the creek banks or the golden hue of autumn leaves against the weathered stone foundations.

About This Chicora Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Chicora, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.948119, -79.742828. 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 Chicora includes the ZIP code (16025), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Butler County (Butler), and school district assignment (Karns City 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.
