How to Use This Hunterstown, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Hunterstown, Pennsylvania

Hunterstown is a locality in Adams County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 506. The population density is 113.3 people per km². Hunterstown is located at 39.8823°N, 77.1603°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 17325.

Hunterstown emerges from the Pennsylvania landscape as a quiet collection of dwellings defined by the persistent, winding course of Beaverdam Creek. It lies 11.0 miles west-northwest of Hanover, PA (from Hanover, PA: bearing 301°T), and is situated 5.2 miles northeast of Gettysburg. The earth here is firm and deep, characterized by a series of gradual swells that rise toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains on the western horizon. Beyond the immediate fields, the terrain dips toward the modest depression of Cranberry Valley, while the dense, shadowed canopy of Michaux State Forest waits thirteen miles away to anchor the broader horizon. In the late afternoon, the light loses its sharp glare, casting long, bruised shadows across the pastures and turning the water of Beaverdam Creek into a dark, moving ribbon that mirrors the gray clouds above.

Hunterstown maintains a pace dictated by the seasonal cycles of the surrounding agricultural land and the quiet industry of its residents. History lingers in the local architecture, a legacy of the early settlement patterns that favored the fertile soil and the reliable flow of water for small-scale milling and trade. While the modern economy draws people toward the nearby convenience of Straban Township Recreation Park for leisure, the daily rhythm remains tied to the intersection of rural tradition and modest growth. Residents often look toward the calmer waters of Lake Heritage, four miles distant, when the summer humidity settles over the valley floor. Life in Hunterstown persists in the steady, unremarkable maintenance of its roads and properties, defined more by the patient endurance of its people than by the rapid movement of the wider world.

About This Hunterstown Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hunterstown, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 39.882318, -77.16026. 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 Hunterstown includes the ZIP code (17325), 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 (Gettysburg Area 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.
