Explore Glen Hope, 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 Glen Hope, 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 Glen Hope.
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.

Glen Hope occupies a quiet crease in the landscape where the steady, rhythmic pulse of Blue Run defines the local topography. It lies 20.1 miles north-northwest of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 344°T), and is situated 16.1 miles south-southwest of Clearfield. The terrain here is defined by the heavy, ancient presence of the Allegheny Mountains looming on the distant horizon, their jagged silhouettes providing a constant, dark backdrop to the verdant expanse. Near the center of the settlement, the earth dips into the quietude of Dotts Hollow, while the nearby Irvona Reservoir holds a stillness that mirrors the thick, humid skies of late summer. The air in Glen Hope often carries the scent of damp earth and cooling stone, a sensory reminder of the thick woodland that presses against the edges of the streets and defines the boundary between civilization and the wilder, unyielding Pennsylvania interior.
Glen Hope maintains a deliberate pace, colored by the legacy of its industrial roots and the slow, persistent work of those who remain. The presence of Glen Hope Park serves as a focal point for the daily life of the residents, offering a patch of managed green space where the shadows grow long and amber as the sun slips behind the ridge. Economic activity here moves with the cautious grace of a place that has seen the rise and fall of regional enterprise, favoring the steady labor of the land over the frantic energy of larger centers. Life moves in cycles governed by the changing light upon the ridges, leaving the inhabitants to navigate a existence that is quiet, grounded, and deeply tethered to the physical reality of the plateau.

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.
