Explore Kimberton, 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 Kimberton, 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 Kimberton.
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.

Kimberton occupies a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of earth and the slow, deliberate movement of inland weather. It lies 3.0 miles west of Phoenixville, PA (from Phoenixville, PA: bearing 270°T), and is situated 8.3 miles west-northwest of Tredyffrin. The terrain shifts in subtle, rhythmic elevations that suggest the distant influence of the Appalachian Mountains, though they remain far beyond the horizon, leaving the immediate ground to be shaped by the gentle, persistent drainage of the land toward French Creek. Within this moisture-rich soil, Gotwals Ponds hold the silvered reflection of the sky, acting as a centerpiece for the local environment where the air often carries the damp, earthy scent of turning leaves and deep topsoil. Kimberton Community Park serves as the primary tether to this terrain, providing a space where the dense, quiet growth of native woodland meets the open, cultivated fields that characterize the surrounding countryside.
Economic life in Kimberton has evolved from its early reliance on the milling and agricultural enterprises that once utilized the currents of French Creek to a modern character defined by organic stewardship and small-scale commerce. The architecture of the region reflects a deliberate preservation of earlier masonry, with stone walls and weathered timber framing standing as remnants of a time when the proximity to Cedar Hollow dictated the patterns of local transport and trade. Life proceeds here with a measured cadence, favoring the slow cultivation of community bonds and the preservation of agrarian roots over the rapid, impersonal expansion seen in more densely paved corridors. Residents navigate a landscape where the history of the iron industry and the legacy of agricultural self-sufficiency inform the present, ensuring that the daily experience remains grounded in a tangible, enduring connection to the soil.

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.
