Explore Dale, 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 Dale, 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 Dale.
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.

Dale occupies a narrow, industrious corridor where the Solomon Run carves a persistent path through the landscape of the Allegheny Plateau. It lies 1.3 miles southeast of Johnstown, PA (from Johnstown, PA: bearing 136°T), and is situated 2.5 miles east of Westmont. The air here holds a distinct, heavy clarity, especially when the light at dusk catches the gray slate of older rooftops or illuminates the mist rising from the nearby White Tail Falls. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains define the horizon, standing as a silent, jagged boundary against the sky. Closer to the center of activity, the Hurton Street Playground serves as a quiet anchor for the neighborhood, its iron swings and faded pavement marking the intersection of daily life and the encroaching wild. Beyond the immediate streets, the terrain deepens into the shadows of Soap Hollow, while the waters of Mill Creek Reservoir remain a still, reflective presence only a few miles out, offering a reprieve from the persistent hum of the local roads.
Dale maintains a character forged in the deliberate, steady work of the mid-Atlantic industrial tradition, where the memory of brick and furnace smoke lingers in the architecture of the older storefronts. The local economy persists through a quiet resilience, shifting away from the heavy manufacturing of the past toward a more modest, service-oriented rhythm that honors the town’s blue-collar roots. Residents often find their way toward the State Forest Lands for a sense of scale, traveling just far enough to lose the sound of traffic among the dense timber. There is a particular, unadorned beauty in the way the morning traffic moves through the streets, a synchronized flow of commuters who recognize the value of a predictable day. Life here moves with a pragmatic pace, shaped by the surrounding hills and the knowledge that the Laurel Highlands Trail provides a rugged, forested escape for those seeking to leave the pavement behind.

Detailed location data for Dale includes the ZIP code (19504, 16881, 15902), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Cambria County (Ebensburg), and school district assignment (Ferndale 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.
