Explore Jonestown, 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 Jonestown, 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 Jonestown.
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.

Jonestown occupies a quiet stretch of land where the earth rises and falls in measured, rhythmic swells, far removed from the volatility of the coast. It lies 9.1 miles west-southwest of Rostraver, PA (from Rostraver, PA: bearing 255°T), and is situated 4.7 miles west-southwest of Monessen. Pigeon Creek carves a narrow, persistent path through the surrounding fields, its waters moving with a steady, unadorned purpose that defines the local hydrology. Beyond the immediate canopy of hardwoods, the landscape opens into broad expanses of farmland that hold the low, golden light of late afternoon with a particular, lingering clarity. Residents often find their way to Fallowfield Township Park when the heat of the day subsides, a space that serves as a communal anchor amidst the quietude of the broader terrain. In the distance, the faint, hazy silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains suggests a rugged boundary to the west, though they remain a silent presence on the horizon rather than a part of the immediate experience.
Jonestown traces its character to the industrious spirit of early settlers who recognized the potential in the fertile soil and the accessibility of the local waterways. Agriculture remains a foundational thread in the local economy, though the pace of life here is defined more by the seasonal cycle of growth and harvest than by the frantic demands of modern commerce. Visitors might pass through Twilight Hollow, a place where the shadows seem to collect early in the day, lending a sense of weight and history to the land. While the modern world continues to accelerate, Jonestown maintains a deliberate, grounded tempo that reflects its deep roots in the regional tradition of self-reliance. There is a distinct, quiet dignity in the way the local roads follow the contours of the terrain, connecting the scattered homesteads and outbuildings that have stood as silent witnesses to the passage of generations.

Detailed location data for Jonestown includes the ZIP code (17901, 17859, 15022), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Washington County (Washington), and school district assignment (Benton 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.
