How to Use This Ludlow, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Ludlow, Pennsylvania

Ludlow is a locality in McKean County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 8.0 people per km². Ludlow is located at 39.9721°N, 75.1463°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 19122, 16333.

Ludlow occupies a quiet stretch of the Allegheny Plateau, defined by the persistent, cold progress of Twomile Run as it carves a path through the dense, verdant canopy. It lies 28.7 miles northwest of Saint Marys, PA (from Saint Marys, PA: bearing 317°T), and is situated 8.2 miles west-northwest of Kane. The landscape here is one of deep, shadowed woods and rising terrain, where the air holds a permanent, damp clarity that tastes of pine needles and damp earth. Sunlight struggles to reach the forest floor of the Allegheny National Forest, which presses against the perimeter of Ludlow, filling the horizon with a chaotic, green geometry of hardwoods and hemlocks. Three miles away, the surface of Deer Lick Reservoir remains as still as a polished slate, reflecting the sudden, gray shifts of clouds that migrate across the plateau. The terrain is rugged and unyielding, marked by the slow erosion of slopes that lead toward the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains, which anchor the eastern sky in a jagged, blue-tinted line.

Ludlow emerged from the nineteenth-century hunger for timber, its rhythm established by the rhythmic whine of sawmills and the heavy, deliberate labor of men clearing the vast, ancient stands of white pine. The economy has long mirrored the changing fortunes of these woods, shifting from the raw, extractive intensity of the logging era to a quieter, modern existence that remains tethered to the timber and the land. Residents find their way toward the Ludlow Trail, a narrow artery that pulls hikers into the thickest parts of the timberland, offering a solitude that feels as deep as the local history. Life in Ludlow moves with a deliberate, cautious pace, far from the frantic hum of the industrial valleys that once drew so much of the state’s energy. The legacy of those early camps and rail spurs remains visible in the way the land was shaped, yet the primary influence today is the quiet dominance of the natural world, which steadily reclaims the clearings and softens the edges of human endeavor.

About This Ludlow Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ludlow, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 39.972057, -75.146288. 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 Ludlow includes the ZIP code (19122, 16333), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of McKean County (Smethport), 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.
