Explore Emlenton, 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 Emlenton, 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 Emlenton.
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.

Emlenton anchors itself firmly against the steep, wooded banks where the Allegheny River carves a deep, serpentine path through the plateau. It lies 23.9 miles north-northeast of Butler, PA (from Butler, PA: bearing 24°T), and is situated 17.7 miles south of Oil City. The landscape here is defined by sudden shifts in elevation, where the dense canopy of the Clear Creek State Forest Kennerdell Tract casts long, cooling shadows over the water throughout the afternoon. A few miles to the east, the quiet surface of Kahle Lake mirrors the shifting clouds, while the nearby Lowrey Run Valley draws the morning mist into its narrow, sheltered floor. At the center of the local geography, Myrtle Street Park offers a modest clearing where the air often carries the damp, earthy scent of river moss and decaying leaves. The light in Emlenton tends to linger against the hillsides at dusk, turning the gray stone of local masonry into a warm, burnished bronze before the night settles in.
Emlenton carries the weight of a past built on the early promise of oil and the steady, rhythmic industry of the river. The economy has long since moved away from the frantic pace of the derricks, leaving behind a quiet resilience that manifests in the careful preservation of nineteenth-century brick facades. Life in Emlenton follows the slow, deliberate tempo of the Allegheny River, a waterway that once carried the commerce of the region and now serves as a silent observer to the daily routines of the residents. While the distant, hazy silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains occasionally defines the western horizon, the immediate focus remains on the local streets where the history of the petroleum boom is still legible in the architecture. The pace here is unhurried, defined by the sound of tires on the bridge and the occasional drift of seasonal leaves onto the quiet pavement of the main thoroughfares.

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.
