Explore Glen Richey, 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 Richey, 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 Richey.
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 Richey occupies a quiet expanse of the Pennsylvania landscape where the earth rises and falls in long, muscular swells, mirroring the distant, hazy silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains. It lies 30.0 miles north of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 352°T), and is situated 5.8 miles south-southwest of Clearfield. Wallace Run cuts a thin, silver thread through the underbrush just a mile from the center, its water moving with a persistent, cold clarity that defines the local drainage. Beyond the immediate tree lines, the terrain stretches toward the horizon, characterized by dense patches of woodland and the occasional open stretch of soil that catches the slant of afternoon light, turning the dry grasses into a bruised, golden copper. The air here holds a particular weight, smelling of damp shale and the cooling breath of Curwensville Lake, which lies only two miles away, reflecting the sky in a mirror of slate gray.
Industry in Glen Richey remains tethered to the slow, deliberate pulse of the land, shaped by the legacy of extraction and the quiet tenacity of those who stay. The economy reflects a past built upon the earth's deep resources, though today the pace has settled into a rhythmic, humdrum pattern of daily labor that feels insulated from the frantic churn of larger hubs. Residents often look toward the greenery of Irvin Park for a reprieve, a space that serves as a communal anchor amidst the broader, wilder shifts of the surrounding geography. Even the light here feels older, filtering down through the canopy with a measured, patient quality, as if the landscape itself is holding its breath. Far from the noise of commerce, Glen Richey persists as a place where the seasons dictate the temperament of the day, and the horizon remains a constant, silent witness to the slow turn of the years.

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.
