Explore Jennerstown, 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 Jennerstown, 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 Jennerstown.
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.

Jennerstown emerges from the rolling landscape of the Allegheny Plateau where the cool, persistent presence of Beaverdam Creek defines the local drainage. It lies 13.8 miles south-southwest of Johnstown, PA (from Johnstown, PA: bearing 213°T), and is situated 19.9 miles southeast of Latrobe. Stoughton Lake holds the sky in a quiet mirror at the center of the borough, reflecting the atmospheric shift as light fades across the expanse. Beyond the immediate perimeter, the dense, verdant canopy of Forbes State Forest offers a dark, heavy contrast to the open fields, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains anchors the horizon. Within the village limits, Jennerstown Borough Park provides a modest green lung, a place where the air carries the sharp, clean scent of damp earth and the subtle, metallic tang of the nearby creek bed.
Jennerstown carries the weight of a history rooted in the grit of the Pennsylvania interior, having served as a vital stop for travelers navigating the rugged transit lines between the eastern settlements and the western frontier. The economy, once tethered to the extraction and transit industries that shaped the regional character, now favors a quieter pace, though the memory of those industrial foundations remains in the sturdy architecture and the pragmatic disposition of the residents. Those seeking the wilder edges of the terrain might venture toward the hidden splash of Adams Falls or traverse the East End Trail, while others may find the deeper, more secluded topography of Wrinkle Hollow to be a testament to the region's ancient, shifting geology. Life in Jennerstown moves with a deliberate, steady cadence, unbothered by the frantic pulse of the distant urban centers, finding its own equilibrium in the interplay between the woods, the water, and the enduring stillness of the plateau.

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.
