How to Use This Driftwood, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Driftwood anchors itself where the Driftwood Branch Sinnemahoning Creek carves a deliberate, winding path through the dense, verdant terrain of the Pennsylvania highlands. It lies 22.9 miles east-southeast of Saint Marys, PA (from Saint Marys, PA: bearing 105°T), and is situated 22.9 miles east-southeast of St. Marys. Heavy morning mist often clings to the water, softening the sharp edges of the nearby slopes and lending the air a cool, damp clarity that lingers long after the sun has climbed over the ridges. This landscape, dominated by the expansive growth of the Elk State Forest, feels ancient and deliberate, shaped by the patient erosion of the earth rather than the frantic pace of modern life. Those who walk the Pepper Hill Trail find the ground underfoot composed of layers of shale and rich, dark soil, a physical record of the plateau’s enduring geological resolve.

Driftwood carries the quiet gravity of a place defined by the heavy timber and rail industries that once drew settlers to its narrow basin. While the clamor of the great logging era has long since faded into the silence of the woods, the influence of the frontier remains in the weathered architecture and the deliberate, unhurried movements of those who call the area home. The proximity of Bucktail State Park ensures that the surrounding wilderness remains a central presence in local life, offering a vast, untamed backdrop to the everyday routines of the residents. Beyond the immediate banks of the creek, the landscape rises toward the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains, while the stillness of the George B Stevenson Reservoir provides a singular, reflective counterpoint to the rushing streams that define the local geography.
