Explore Knox, 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 Knox, 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 Knox.
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.

Knox occupies a high, firm plateau where the morning light often lingers in the hollows before climbing the timbered slopes. It lies 31.8 miles northeast of Butler, PA (from Butler, PA: bearing 36°T), and is situated 8.0 miles west of Clarion. The landscape around Knox is defined by the steady, persistent geography of the interior, characterized by deep woods and the quiet, persistent flow of Canoe Creek, which winds its way through the nearby topography just a mile from the center. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the horizon holds the faint, blurred suggestion of the Allegheny Mountains, a distant spine that anchors the regional view. At Knox Community Park, the grass holds the cool dampness of the earth, providing a modest clearing where the air feels thin and sharp, undisturbed by the rush of larger, more frantic places. Two miles away, the quiet waters of Marie-Eileen Lake remain a still mirror for the changing skies, reflecting a silence that permeates the surrounding woodland.
History in Knox remains anchored to the extraction and movement of resources, a legacy written into the very grade of the land and the spacing of its buildings. The local economy has evolved from the early patterns of industry into a quieter, more deliberate pace, where the labor of the past is recognized in the sturdiness of the local architecture. Farther out, the terrain dips toward the Lowrey Run Valley, a reminder of the complex geological shifts that shaped this corner of the state. While the broader region bears the mark of the industrial age, Knox maintains a focused, grounded identity, functioning as a point of order amidst the sprawling, dense greenery. Life here moves with the sun, from the initial warmth that touches the storefronts to the late dusk that settles over the trees, leaving a sense of permanence in the quiet streets.

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.
