How to Use This Culp, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Culp, Pennsylvania

Culp is a locality in Blair County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 30. The population density is 112.5 people per km². Culp is located at 40.5803°N, 78.2600°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 16601.

Culp holds a position of quiet permanence where the Sinking Run carves a shallow, persistent path through the limestone-rich soil of the earth. It lies 8.3 miles east-northeast of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 59°T), and is situated 6.3 miles south of Tyrone. The landscape surrounding Culp maintains a deliberate, muted character, defined by the long, sloping ridges that rise toward the Allegheny Mountains visible in the distance. Sunlight here often arrives filtered through a haze of high-altitude moisture, casting long, thin shadows across the fields that stretch toward Logan Valley. The air carries the scent of damp shale and cooling earth, a heavy stillness that settles over the land long before the sun disappears behind the crests of the western slopes.

Fort Roberdeau Historic Site & Natural Area occupies the local ground, serving as a reminder of the era when this territory served as an outpost for the frontier. The economy of Culp has long been tethered to the slow accumulation of agricultural yield and the steady pulse of regional transit, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers. Residents observe the changing of the seasons with a practiced focus, looking toward the recreational waters of Canoe Creek Lake when the heat of midsummer finally breaks. Life in Culp proceeds with an unadorned precision, marked by the maintenance of old stone foundations and the careful cultivation of the fields that fan out from the center of the settlement.

About This Culp Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Culp, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.580345, -78.260013. 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 Culp includes the ZIP code (16601), 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 (Tyrone 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.
