How to Use This Earlston, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Earlston, Pennsylvania

Earlston is a locality in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,049. The population density is 375.0 people per km². Earlston is located at 40.0062°N, 78.3700°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 15537.

Earlston occupies a quiet stretch of land where the Raystown Branch Juniata River carves a deliberate, winding path through the topography. It lies 35.4 miles south of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 178°T), and is situated 7.1 miles east of Bedford. The atmosphere here carries the weight of the inland air, far from any salt-heavy breeze, shifting instead with the seasonal transitions of the ridge-and-valley landscape. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains anchor the horizon, while the immediate surroundings are defined by the low, verdant slopes of Black Valley. Near the riverbanks, the soil holds a damp, dark richness, and the open expanse of Unknown Field offers a flat, expansive contrast to the surrounding ridges. During the amber hours of late afternoon, the light catches the moving water of the river, turning the surface into a shifting ribbon of polished pewter that cuts cleanly through the quiet terrain.

Earlston maintains an identity forged in the steady labor of the interior, where the economy has long leaned on the rhythms of agriculture and the modest industry supported by the nearby Buchanan State Forest. History lingers in the architecture of the modest dwellings and the layout of the roads that follow the natural contours of the basin rather than the grid lines of larger centers. Life here moves with a deliberate, measured pace, influenced by the proximity of the wilderness and the practicalities of a land-locked existence. While the allure of Sportsmans Lake draws those seeking a quiet respite seven miles away, the core of daily life remains tethered to the local fields and the steady, unceasing flow of the Raystown Branch Juniata River. The character of Earlston is found in these persistent, small-scale cycles, where the change of seasons dictates the rhythm of the day far more than the noise of the outside world.

About This Earlston Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Earlston, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.006194, -78.370015. 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 Earlston includes the ZIP code (15537), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Bedford County (Bedford), and school district assignment (Everett 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.
