Explore Homer City, 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 Homer City, 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 Homer City.
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.

Homer City sits where the Yellow Creek carves a persistent path through the limestone-rich earth, defining the rugged character of the landscape. It lies 5.4 miles south of Indiana, PA (from Indiana, PA: bearing 185°T), and is situated 8.7 miles southeast of Armstrong Township. The surrounding terrain rises in resolute swells, a prelude to the distant Allegheny Mountains that sharpen against the horizon like a jagged, ink-colored serration. At the edge of the residential grid, Floodway Park offers a quiet expanse of green where the air holds a metallic, cool weight, especially during the long, gray afternoons of late autumn. Beyond the immediate municipal boundaries, the landscape tilts toward the deeper shadows of Spruce Hollow, while the quiet surface of Cherry Run Lake waits only a mile away, its stillness reflecting the slow, deliberate movement of the clouds above the plateau.
Homer City persists as a place forged by the heavy, black legacy of coal and the steady hum of industrial ambition that once defined the regional economy. The architecture remains grounded in this history, with brick facades and sturdy, unadorned structures that suggest a time when labor was the primary measure of a day’s worth. While the rhythm of modern life has shifted, the physical markers of the past remain visible in the way the light catches the soot-tinted stone of the older buildings at dusk. People here move with a deliberate, measured pace, influenced by the proximity of the State Forest Lands fifteen miles away, which serve as a vast, hushed boundary to the east. It is a place where the economy has transitioned, yet the deep-rooted connection to the land and the memory of the extraction industries continue to shape the local identity.

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.
