How to Use This Foster Brook, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Foster Brook cuts a deliberate path through the hardwood timber and shale of the high plateau, its current pulling cool, clear water past the low-slung banks of the local park. It lies 37.9 miles north of Saint Marys, PA (from Saint Marys, PA: bearing 356°T), and is situated 1.9 miles northeast of Bradford. The landscape here favors the long shadow and the heavy, humid silence of dense woodland, where the ground rises into the sharp, uneven incline of Buchanan Hollow. A few miles to the north, the surface of Number Four Reservoir holds the sky in a flat, unmoving mirror, reflecting the gray slate of the clouds that frequently drift in from the west. When the light hits the valley at dusk, the trees lose their individual color, turning into a single, jagged wall of charcoal against the fading amber horizon.

Foster Brook carries the quiet weight of an economy once tied to the extraction of resources from the earth, a history felt in the rusted remains of old equipment tucked into the brush near the creek bed. While the heavy industry of the region has long since receded, the rhythm of daily life remains tethered to the slow, seasonal pulse of the forest and the maintenance of the land. Residents maintain a steady pace, finding their recreation in the quiet corners of Foster Brook Park or venturing further out toward the distant paths of Trail Number 9. On clear days, the faint, blue-tinted outline of the Appalachian Mountains sits far off on the southern horizon, a reminder of the vast, solid geography that defines the character of this inland reach.
