How to Use This Frenchville, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

About Frenchville, Pennsylvania

Frenchville is a locality in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 159. The population density is 72.8 people per km². Frenchville is located at 41.1048°N, 78.2200°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 16836.

Frenchville emerges from the rugged topography of the Allegheny Plateau where the earth tilts into the quiet gravity of the interior. It lies 28.5 miles southeast of Saint Marys, PA (from Saint Marys, PA: bearing 141°T), and is situated 12.6 miles east-northeast of Clearfield. The landscape is defined by the persistent flow of Sandy Creek, which cuts a narrow path through the dense, verdant terrain, carving a corridor that draws the eye toward the deeper shadows of the Moshannon State Forest just two miles away. Beyond the immediate canopy, the horizon is anchored by the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains, standing as a silent, jagged boundary against the pale blue sky. The air here holds a crispness born of the high elevation, carrying the scent of damp soil and pine needles that seem to linger long after the sun has slipped behind the ridges.

Frenchville maintains a character forged by the tenacity of early settlers who looked at the dense timber and saw a future carved from the wilderness. The local economy has long been tethered to the pulse of the surrounding woodlands, a legacy that continues to influence the pace of life where the rhythm is dictated by the turning seasons rather than the frantic churn of distant urban centers. Residents often look toward Dutch Hollow for a sense of isolation or traverse the Number Five Trail when they seek a deeper connection to the quietude of the woods. While the bustle of larger industries remains far removed, the daily life in Frenchville retains a deliberate, steady endurance, marked by the way the evening light catches the rough bark of the trees and the steady, unhurried progress of the creek as it winds toward its unknown destination.

About This Frenchville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Frenchville, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 41.104781, -78.220011. 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 Frenchville includes the ZIP code (16836), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Clearfield County (Clearfield), and school district assignment (Clearfield 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.
