Explore Kersey, 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 Kersey, 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 Kersey.
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.

Kersey occupies a rugged expanse of the Allegheny Plateau where the land rises and falls in long, rhythmic folds of earth and timber. It lies 4.9 miles south-southwest of Saint Marys, PA (from Saint Marys, PA: bearing 202°T), and is situated 4.9 miles south-southwest of St. Marys. Marys. Beaver Run carves a narrow, persistent path through the terrain, its waters reflecting the deep, verdant canopy that spills down from the nearby Elk State Forest. Beyond the immediate reach of the clearing, the horizon is defined by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains, creating a sense of scale that makes the local woodlands feel both vast and protective. The air here holds a distinct, cool clarity, especially near the quiet surface of Laurel Run Reservoir, where the light at dusk settles in heavy, golden layers against the dark silhouettes of the trees. Fairview Road Community Park serves as a modest anchor for the local landscape, offering a patch of open ground that contrasts with the dense, encroaching wildness of the surrounding hollows.
Kersey carries the quiet weight of an economy built upon the extraction of the earth’s deep, hidden reserves, a legacy that has shaped the temperament of those who make their lives here. The rhythms of daily existence are measured by the slow shift of seasons, from the biting cold that settles into Auman Hollow to the brief, vibrant surge of summer. While the industrial pulse has softened over the decades, the character of the place remains forged in the resilience of its people and the enduring legacy of the regional coal and timber trades. Residents often turn toward the Bucktail Trail when they seek to traverse the wider wilderness, though the local identity remains firmly rooted in the immediate, familiar geography of the township. Life in Kersey proceeds without pretense, defined by the steady, unadorned work of keeping a home and the shared history of a landscape that demands a certain rugged independence from all who dwell upon it.

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.
