How to Use This Johnstown, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Johnstown emerges from the deep, narrow basins of the Allegheny Plateau, where the North Branch Buffalo Creek carves a persistent path through the steep, forested inclines. It lies 21.0 miles south of Williamsport, PA (from Williamsport, PA: bearing 187°T), and is situated 8.9 miles west of Lewisburg. The landscape is defined by the heavy, precipitous walls of the surrounding terrain, which compress the atmosphere and hold the evening shadows long before the sun has fully retreated behind the ridges. High above the valley floor, the air carries a crisp, mineral sharpness, and the dense greenery of the Tiadaghton State Forest, located fifteen miles to the north, provides a vast, verdant backdrop that underscores the rugged isolation of the setting. Though the distant Appalachian Mountains appear as a jagged, blue-tinted silhouette on the horizon, the immediate vicinity remains dominated by the quiet solitude of Slide Hollow and the stillness of the Spruce Run Reservoir, which waits seven miles away as a mirror for the changing clouds.

Industry once defined the pulse of Johnstown, anchoring its identity to the strength of steel and the relentless work of the mills that occupied the riverbanks. The architectural character of the streets reflects this utilitarian past, with sturdy brick houses clinging to the hillsides in a manner that suggests both resilience and a weary, quiet dignity. Residents often seek the solitude of the Ward-Lemon Addition, a nearby PCON, or traverse the quiet stretches of the Baker Path to find respite from the lingering echoes of a manufacturing era that transformed the valley floor. Today, the pace of life maintains a steady, deliberate rhythm, marked by the changing colors of the deciduous woods and the steady flow of water through the creek, as the residents navigate a daily existence shaped by both the unforgiving steepness of the land and the enduring legacy of their forebears.

About This Johnstown Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.326132, -78.919139. 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 Johnstown includes the ZIP code (15901, 17844, 15906), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Union County (Lewisburg), and school district assignment (Greater Johnstown 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.
