Explore Longfellow, 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 Longfellow, 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 Longfellow.
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.

Longfellow emerges from the earth as a collection of slate-roofed structures and quiet lanes defined by the persistent, rhythmic passage of Carlisle Run. It lies 22.2 miles south-southeast of State College, PA (from State College, PA: bearing 154°T), and is situated 8.5 miles southwest of Lewistown. The landscape surrounding Longfellow unfolds in a series of rhythmic, rising elevations that serve as a prelude to the distant Appalachian Mountains, which cast a hazy, violet shadow against the horizon during the late afternoon. Four miles to the west, the quiet expanse of Minehart Reservoir holds the reflected sky, while the broader, fertile contours of Ferguson Valley provide a sense of openness that contrasts with the dense, shadowed canopy of the nearby Tuscarora State Forest. The air here carries the faint, crisp scent of dampened soil and pine, a persistent reminder of the deep woodlands that press against the edges of the settled acreage.
History in Longfellow is measured not in grand monuments, but in the enduring utility of the land and the modest industry that once sustained its early settlers. A legacy of small-scale agriculture and regional trade persists in the sturdy, weathered architecture of the central district, where the pace of life maintains a deliberate, unhurried cadence. Residents often seek the quietude of the Longfellow Trail, which winds through the local topography, offering a path that leads toward the recreational space of Longfellow Playground. This locality functions as a bridge between the industrious spirit of the broader plateau and the quiet, agrarian traditions of the valley, creating a distinct atmosphere where the daily work of maintenance and seasonal change dictates the rhythm of the year.

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.
