Explore Hawk Run, 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 Hawk Run, 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 Hawk Run.
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.

Hawk Run holds the landscape in a firm, quiet grip, defined by the persistent flow of Emigh Run as it carves a path through the uneven terrain. It lies 20.2 miles west-northwest of State College, PA (from State College, PA: bearing 297°T), and is situated 2.0 miles north-northeast of Philipsburg. The water moves with a purposeful, dark clarity, reflecting the dense canopy of trees that press close to the banks before giving way to the shadowed depth of Barlow Hollow. Beyond the immediate thickets, the horizon is anchored by the distant silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains, a jagged blue line that interrupts the sky. A mile from the center, the stillness of Emigh Lake offers a mirror to the passing clouds, while the nearby Rush Township Municipal Park provides a modest clearing where the air carries the sharp, clean scent of damp earth and decaying leaves. The light here tends to linger in long, thin ribbons at dusk, casting a bronze glow over the hills that makes the transition from afternoon to evening feel deliberate and heavy.
Hawk Run emerged from the industry of the earth, its foundations laid deep in the labor of coal mining that once defined the rhythm of the local economy. Though the heavy machinery and the frantic pulse of the collieries have faded, the character of the place remains etched in the stoic architecture and the remnants of old rail grades that crisscross the woods. Residents occasionally wander the Black Bear Trail, finding a quiet solitude that connects them to the broader expanse of the Moshannon State Forest ten miles away. The pace of life is dictated by the slow shift of seasons rather than the frantic demands of modern commerce, leaving the streets to settle into a pattern of familiar, routine movements. There is an enduring gravity to the way the days unfold in Hawk Run, a sense that the history of the ground beneath one's feet provides a silent, constant companionship to those who remain.

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.
