How to Use This Ironville, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Ironville, Pennsylvania

Ironville is a locality in Blair County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 60. The population density is 286.0 people per km². Ironville is located at 40.6576°N, 78.2164°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 17512, 16686.

Ironville occupies a narrow, industrious corridor defined by the steady, cold movement of the Little Juniata River. It lies 13.4 miles northeast of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 44°T), and is situated 1.5 miles southeast of Tyrone. Sunlight here often struggles to reach the floor of Honest Hollow, where the shadows of the surrounding ridges stretch long and thin before the afternoon is truly spent. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains anchor the horizon, providing a rugged, jagged backdrop to the low-lying terrain. Just a short distance away, the quiet waters of Tyrone Reservoir Number One offer a stillness that contrasts with the restless current of the river, while the nearby expanse of State Game Land 131 provides a dense, unmanicured sanctuary for the local wildlife.

Ironville emerged from the hard necessity of the regional extraction economy, a place where the earth was once probed for the raw materials that fueled a growing nation. The legacy of those early furnaces still lingers in the architecture of the older streets, where brick facades retain the soot-stained character of a more volatile era. While the heavy industrial pulse has since slowed, the rhythm of Ironville remains tethered to the land, influenced by the seasonal shifts that dictate life in this part of the commonwealth. Occasionally, hikers can be found navigating the older paths toward Indian Trail, though most residents prefer the quietude found in the periphery of the Pennsylvania State University Experimental Forest, where the canopy provides a muted, filtered light that softens the sharper edges of the working day.

About This Ironville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ironville, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.657564, -78.216401. 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 Ironville includes the ZIP code (17512, 16686), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Blair County (Hollidaysburg), and school district assignment (Tyrone 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.
