Explore Madisonburg, 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 Madisonburg, 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 Madisonburg.
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.

Madisonburg occupies a quiet expanse of the Pennsylvania interior where the earth settles into the long, rhythmic creases of the ridge-and-valley province. It lies 20.1 miles east-northeast of State College, PA (from State College, PA: bearing 63°T), and is situated 15.0 miles south-southwest of Lock Haven. The landscape around Madisonburg feels anchored by the proximity of Little Sugar Valley, a shallow depression that holds the morning mist long after the sun has climbed above the horizon. To the west, the distant Appalachian Mountains provide a jagged, blue-tinted frame for the sky, while the local terrain is softened by the dense, verdant cover of Bald Eagle State Forest. Phillips Creek cuts a thin, silver vein through the fields just a mile from the center, its water moving with a persistent, low-frequency hum over moss-slicked stones that have smoothed under the current for generations.
Agriculture remains the pulse of Madisonburg, with silos and weathered barns serving as the primary architecture of the local economy. The influence of early settlers is still legible in the way the land is partitioned, organized into neat, functional grids that respect the soil’s capacity for yield. Residents often look toward State Game Land 295 for recreation, a vast, quiet territory that offers a different, wilder texture than the manicured rows of corn and hay. Those seeking a longer walk sometimes travel toward the Kerstetter Path, while summer afternoons often find people gravitating toward the cool, still edges of Poe Lake to escape the heat. Life in Madisonburg proceeds with a deliberate, unadorned focus, marked by the changing light on the fallow fields and the seasonal migrations of wildlife that move between the woodlots and the open, working ground.

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.
