How to Use This La Jose, Pennsylvania Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for La Jose, 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 La Jose.
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.

About La Jose, Pennsylvania
La Jose is a locality in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 280. The population density is 8.0 people per km². La Jose is located at 40.8334°N, 78.6592°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 15753, 16845.La Jose unfolds across the rugged terrain of the Allegheny Plateau, where the persistent flow of Woods Run carves a quiet passage through the dense, verdant woodland. It lies 25.8 miles north-northwest of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 328°T), and is situated 17.6 miles southwest of Clearfield. The air here carries a crisp, earthen weight, smelling of damp bark and the deep, silent shadows cast by the distant Allegheny Mountains that sharpen the horizon in the hazy blue distance. Within the immediate landscape, the land rises and falls in measured, tectonic swells, providing a sheltered basin that feels insulated from the frantic pace of the wider world. A mile away, the quiet grounds of Curly Hurd Memorial Park offer a patch of manicured stillness, a green reprieve where the light at dusk settles in long, amber slats against the trunks of oaks and maples.
La Jose emerged from the heavy, industrial gravity of Pennsylvania’s extractive history, growing in the shadow of timber and coal interests that once defined the economic pulse of these Appalachian folds. While the clatter of the extraction era has long since faded, the town retains a sturdy, pragmatic character, its architecture reflecting a time when labor was measured in the strength of one’s hands and the endurance of the seasons. Residents look toward the nearby Irvona Reservoir as a marker of the regional hydrology, a still, dark body of water that mirrors the changing sky and anchors the local geography eight miles away from the deeper, more secluded reaches of Dotts Hollow. Life in La Jose proceeds with a slow, deliberate cadence, focused on the maintenance of home and the stewardship of the surrounding woods, where the hum of modern life is muted by the sheer, quiet persistence of the wilderness.

About This La Jose Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of La Jose, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.833382, -78.659213. 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 La Jose includes the ZIP code (15753, 16845), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Clearfield County (Clearfield), and school district assignment.
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.
