How to Use This Lake Meade, Pennsylvania Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lake Meade, 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 Lake Meade.

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 Lake Meade, Pennsylvania

Lake Meade is a locality in Adams County, Pennsylvania, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,539. The population density is 743.2 people per km². Lake Meade is located at 39.9851°N, 77.0372°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 17316.

Lake Meade remains a quiet expanse of water where the Mud Run feeds the local basin, grounding the landscape in a steady, rhythmic flow of sediment and current. It lies 11.4 miles west of Weigelstown, PA (from Weigelstown, PA: bearing 271°T), and is situated 8.7 miles south of Dillsburg. The water reflects the shifting moods of the sky, often turning a deep, slate gray as evening settles over the surrounding ridges. To the west, the distant Blue Ridge Mountains provide a permanent, hazy backdrop that defines the horizon, while the proximity of State Game Land 249 ensures that the immediate environment retains a wild, untamed character. The air here holds a distinct, cool dampness, especially during the transition between seasons, when the light thins and casts long, sharp shadows across the banks.

Lake Meade functions as a focal point for a community that has long balanced the quietude of the Pennsylvania interior with the practical demands of its regional economy. Residents often look toward the nearby Michaux State Forest for timber and recreation, maintaining a lifestyle that respects the slow, deliberate pace of the land. Beyond the direct influence of the water, the proximity to the wider Cranberry Valley shapes the local agricultural and residential patterns, favoring a landscape of dispersed homes and managed woodlots. Life here is defined by the seasonal cycles of the woods and the persistent, quiet presence of the creek, creating a sense of permanence that persists regardless of the small changes in the surrounding townships.
