How to Use This Cochranton, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Cochranton occupies a verdant expanse where the currents of Little Sugar Creek trace a serpentine path through the low-lying terrain, defining the local topography with a steady, quiet persistence. It lies 9.9 miles south-southeast of Meadville, PA (from Meadville, PA: bearing 148°T), and is situated 18.7 miles west-northwest of Oil City. The air here holds a distinct coolness, particularly as the golden light of late afternoon softens the edges of the surrounding fields, casting long, lean shadows that stretch toward the horizon. Five miles distant, the waters of Yosets Lake mirror the changing sky, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains serves as a permanent, silent guardian to the far eastern skyline. Life in Cochranton feels tethered to this rhythm of land and water, where the damp, fertile earth of the valley floor supports a landscape that remains refreshingly unhurried, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers.

History in Cochranton is written in the modest architecture and the deliberate pace of its inhabitants, who maintain a connection to the agricultural heritage that first took root in this soil. The local economy persists through a blend of small-scale commerce and the stewardship of the land, with the Cochranton Lions Community Park serving as a central point for the shared life of the populace. Nearby, the natural landscape offers quiet respite at Rock Creek Falls, where the water’s descent provides a rhythmic counterpoint to the quietude of the broader woods, which find their deeper, wilder expression nineteen miles away at the Clear Creek State Forest Kennerdell Tract. Whether one is watching the seasons shift across the meadows or observing the daily patterns of the people who call this place home, Cochranton remains a site of grounded permanence, defined by its specific geography and the unassuming dignity of its quiet, inland existence.

About This Cochranton Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cochranton, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 41.520053, -80.048393. 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 Cochranton includes the ZIP code (16314), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Crawford County (Meadville), and school district assignment (Crawford Central 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.
