How to Use This Fairfield, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Fairfield reveals itself through the steady, rhythmic pulse of the Spring Run as it carves a path through the quiet landscape. It lies 11.3 miles east of Waynesboro, PA (from Waynesboro, PA: bearing 79°T), and is situated 7.9 miles west-southwest of Gettysburg. The earth here possesses a dense, fertile quality, supporting a patchwork of orchards and fields that stretch toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains on the horizon. Beyond the immediate clearing, the terrain rises toward the rugged timber of the Mont Alto State Forest, while the depressions of Cove Hollow hold the cool, damp shadows of early morning. Only two miles distant, the waters of Charnita Lake catch the pale, amber light of the setting sun, reflecting a stillness that defines the surrounding countryside.

Fairfield balances its modest, agrarian heritage with the quiet industry of a place that values continuity over rapid transformation. Local activity often gravitates toward the Fairfield Fire Department Baseball Diamond, where the sharp crack of a bat against a ball echoes across the open grounds during the warmer months. Residents follow the Green Ridge Trail to engage with the steeper elevations of the region, observing the changing foliage that marks the passage of the seasons. Life here remains tethered to the slow turn of the harvest and the enduring character of the land, maintaining a steady, grounded pace that has persisted through generations of Pennsylvania winters and summers.

About This Fairfield Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Fairfield, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 39.789001, -77.369819. 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 Fairfield includes the ZIP code (16511, 15345, 17320), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Adams County (Gettysburg), and school district assignment (Fairfield 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.
