How to Use This Flinton, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Flinton occupies a quiet stretch of the Allegheny Plateau where the land rises in deliberate, heavy folds of earth and dense woodland. It lies 15.0 miles north-northwest of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 335°T), and is situated 15.0 miles west-northwest of Tyrone. Clearfield Creek carves a winding path through the local topography, its water often dark and reflective against the slate-colored banks that define the immediate landscape. Only a mile away, the expansive surface of Glendale Lake serves as a silent, shimmering anchor for the surrounding terrain, while the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains offer a jagged boundary to the western horizon. During the autumn months, the air here turns crisp and thin, carrying the scent of damp leaves and cold stone across the fields. The light at dusk settles low and heavy over the valley, casting long, sharp shadows that seem to ground the architecture of the area firmly into the bedrock.

Flinton persists as a place defined by the quiet endurance of its geography and the remnants of its industrial heritage. The economy has shifted from the labor-intensive extraction that once pulsed through the region to a slower, more deliberate pace centered on local self-sufficiency and the stewardship of the nearby State Game Land 108. Residents move with a familiarity born of long-standing roots, mindful of the deep hollows like Dotts Hollow that punctuate the broader plateau. The rhythm of daily life is dictated not by the hurried pressures of urban centers, but by the seasonal cycles of the woods and the persistent, low-frequency hum of the creek. In this corner of the state, the character of the people remains as sturdy and unvarnished as the landscape itself, shaped by a history of hard work and a quiet, steadfast attachment to the land.
