How to Use This East Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

East Sharpsburg unfolds across a landscape defined by the persistent, rhythmic movement of Plum Creek, which slices through the terrain with a quiet, persistent gravity. It lies 12.9 miles south of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 174°T), and is situated 6.6 miles south of Hollidaysburg. The earth here rises in measured, undulant swells, a prelude to the distant, hazy silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains that guard the western horizon. Beyond the immediate banks of the creek, the land transitions into a tapestry of cultivated fields and dense woodlots, with State Game Land 147 offering a sprawling, untamed periphery just a mile from the residential core. At dusk, the light catches the limestone dust on the backroads, turning the air a pale, translucent violet that settles into the hollows and clings to the low-hanging branches of the oaks.

East Sharpsburg retains the quiet weight of its industrial heritage, a history forged in the grit of the Pennsylvania interior where iron and agriculture once dictated the cadence of the seasons. While the bustle of larger manufacturing centers remains a memory, the local economy continues to pulse with a self-reliant energy, sustained by the small-scale commerce and labor that keep the storefronts and workshops functional. A few miles away, the waters of the Hollidaysburg Reservoir provide a still, reflective anchor for the region, contrasting with the active, bubbling course of the nearby creeks. Life in East Sharpsburg moves with a deliberate, unadorned pace, characterized by the sound of heavy machinery idling in the distance and the enduring, stoic character of a place that values the hard-won utility of the land over the vanity of outward display.
