How to Use This Deer Lake, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Deer Lake occupies a quiet portion of the landscape where the land settles into a series of modest elevations and shallow depressions, defined primarily by the persistent, rhythmic presence of Meadow Run as it carves its path through the earth. It lies 24.6 miles south-southeast of Rostraver, PA (from Rostraver, PA: bearing 152°T), and is situated 7.6 miles east-southeast of Uniontown. The air here holds a particular clarity, often cooling rapidly as the sun retreats behind the distant silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains, casting long, bruised shadows that stretch across the fields. Beyond the immediate clearings, the terrain yields to the dense, dark timber of Forbes State Forest, a vast expanse that keeps the encroaching modern world at a deliberate distance. To the west, the topography dips into the quiet seclusion of Trout Hollow, while the nearby State Game Land 051 offers a expanse of managed wilderness where the undergrowth remains thick and undisturbed, favoring the fox and the deer over the ambitions of men.

Deer Lake remains a place where the economy is tethered to the slow, seasonal pulse of the surrounding woodlands and the modest requirements of those who have chosen to dwell in the interior. History here does not shout through monumental architecture, but instead persists in the simple, sturdy frames of houses and the way the light catches the morning frost on the local meadows. While the region lacks the industrial clamor of the major river valleys to the west, it gains a certain gravity from its proximity to the rugged wilderness, where the Great Gorge Trail invites a different sort of movement through the landscape. Life in Deer Lake moves with an unpretentious pace, measured not by the frantic speed of the interstate, but by the subtle changes in the canopy and the way the water in Meadow Run shifts color as the seasons turn toward winter.

About This Deer Lake Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Deer Lake, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.620874, -76.056838. 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 Deer Lake includes the ZIP code (15470, 17961), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Fayette County (Uniontown), and school district assignment (Blue Mountain 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.
