Explore Fairview, 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 Fairview, 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 Fairview.
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.

Fairview sits upon the firm, elevated ground of the Allegheny Plateau, where the earth unfolds in a series of deep, green-shadowed creases. It lies 27.5 miles northwest of Chambersburg, PA (from Chambersburg, PA: bearing 314°T), and is situated 18.9 miles south of Huntingdon. Spring Creek carves a persistent path through the local landscape, its waters moving with a quiet, deliberate clarity that defines the pace of the surrounding woods. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains anchors the horizon, while the terrain closer at hand dips into the quiet seclusion of Poplar Hollow. The air here carries a crisp, terrestrial weight, smelling of damp soil and the turning leaves of autumn, a coolness that persists even as the late afternoon sun illuminates the fields in shades of burnt copper and pale gold.
Fairview maintains a steady, industrious character that reflects the broader history of the region’s development. The proximity of State Game Land 121 offers a vast expanse of preserved wilderness that dictates the rhythm of local life, drawing those who favor the stillness of the deep timber over the noise of modern industry. While the economy has shifted over the decades, the area retains a sturdy, pragmatic foundation, supported by the quiet management of land and local resources. Residents often find their way toward the Gracey Trail for a long, meditative walk, or look toward the distant waters of Singers Gap Reservoir when the summer heat settles over the plains. It is a place that demands little attention, yet rewards the observant traveler with the sight of a hawk circling above the hollow or the sudden, sharp clarity of a winter morning.

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.
