How to Use This Heidlersburg, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Heidlersburg, Pennsylvania

Heidlersburg is a locality in Adams County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 509. The population density is 281.2 people per km². Heidlersburg is located at 39.9493°N, 77.1461°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 17372.

Heidlersburg maintains a quiet composure amidst the rhythmic rise and fall of the Adams County landscape, where the earth shifts into long, cultivated swells of silt and shale. It lies 13.4 miles northwest of Hanover, PA (from Hanover, PA: bearing 320°T), and is situated 9.3 miles north-northeast of Gettysburg. Conewago Creek traces a meandering path just a mile from the center, its water often catching a silvery, muted light that mirrors the sky above the fields. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Blue Ridge Mountains provide a permanent, hazy boundary to the horizon, while the terrain closer at hand dips into the shallow, fertile expanse of Cranberry Valley. The air here holds a crisp, continental quality, particularly during the transition of seasons when the morning mist clings to the low-lying pastures and the foliage of nearby State Game Land 249 turns a deep, rusted bronze.

Heidlersburg grew from the sturdy, industrious patterns of early settlement, defined by a geography that favored the plow and the orchard over the density of industrial centers. The local economy remains anchored in this relationship with the soil, with apple and peach trees marking the slopes in orderly, geometric rows that change color with the turning of the year. Beyond the immediate agricultural footprint, the proximity to the expansive timber and rugged terrain of Michaux State Forest suggests a landscape that has always demanded a pragmatic, self-reliant spirit from its inhabitants. While the pace remains deliberate, the presence of Lake Meade nearby offers a stillness that complements the steady, day-to-day work of the region. Residents often find their way toward the more demanding paths of the Hammonds Rocks Trail, grounding their lives in a quiet continuity that persists long after the harvest is gathered and stored.

About This Heidlersburg Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Heidlersburg, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 39.949261, -77.146093. 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 Heidlersburg includes the ZIP code (17372), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Adams County (Gettysburg), and school district assignment (Upper Adams 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.
