How to Use This Claysburg, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Claysburg, Pennsylvania

Claysburg is a locality in Blair County, Pennsylvania, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,291. The population density is 372.8 people per km². Claysburg is located at 40.2967°N, 78.4497°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 16625.

Claysburg anchors itself firmly against the limestone-rich earth of the valley floor, where the Frankstown Branch Juniata River traces a persistent, silver ribbon through the landscape. It lies 15.6 miles south of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 191°T), and is situated 9.6 miles south-southwest of Hollidaysburg. The air here holds the cool, damp weight of the interior, carrying the scent of dark soil and shifting limestone dust that settles upon the windowsills of Claysburg as twilight deepens. To the west, the Allegheny Mountains rise in a jagged, blue-hued silhouette, acting as a final barrier against the vast, folded expanse of the ridge-and-valley province. Within the immediate perimeter, the Claysburg Area Community Park provides a green, quiet refuge for the inhabitants, while the distant, shadowed depths of Wolf Hollow offer a reminder of the rugged, untamed terrain that defines this inland geography.

Industrial ambition has long defined the character of the site, rooted in the extraction and refinement of stone that has sustained the local economy for generations. The legacy of these quarries persists in the heavy, reliable architecture of the district, where the gray, weathered stone suggests a permanence born of labor and the steady rhythm of the daily shift. While the pace of modern life moves with the quiet persistence of the Frankstown Branch Juniata River, the memory of earlier, more industrious decades lingers in the sturdy brick facades and the sprawling footprints of manufacturing facilities. Far from the influence of any distant coastline, the people here maintain a connection to the land that is as deep and unyielding as the rock formations themselves, finding a stark, honest beauty in the intersection of utility and the wild, wooded reaches of the nearby Babcock State Forest.

About This Claysburg Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Claysburg, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.296743, -78.449737. 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 Claysburg includes the ZIP code (16625), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Blair County (Hollidaysburg), and school district assignment (Claysburg-Kimmel 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.
