How to Use This Mahaffey, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Mahaffey emerges from the verdant, uneven folds of the Allegheny Plateau where the persistent flow of Chest Creek defines the low-lying rhythm of the landscape. It lies 28.4 miles northeast of Indiana, PA (from Indiana, PA: bearing 52°T), and is situated 17.1 miles south of Du Bois. The air here holds a crisp, persistent weight, cooling rapidly as the sun retreats behind the distant, shadowed silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains. Within the immediate basin, the topography remains defined by the rugged persistence of the plateau, offering a terrain where the earth rises and falls in measured, timber-thickened swells. At the center of this quiet expanse, Scout Community Park provides a modest clearing, a patch of managed green that serves as a terrestrial anchor amidst the surrounding dense, unyielding woodland.

Mahaffey carries the weathered character of a place built upon the labor of the earth, its foundations shaped by the coal and timber industries that once dictated the pulse of the region. The economy has long since shifted from those heavy, extractive roots, yet the quiet endurance of the local architecture—the sturdy brick and frame dwellings—reflects a history of industrious survival. Life moves with a deliberate, unhurried pace, far removed from the frantic sprawl of metropolitan centers, favoring the steady observation of changing seasons over the noise of rapid development. While the Punxsutawney Reservoir lies a short distance away, drawing those who seek the stillness of deeper waters, the daily existence in Mahaffey remains tied to the immediate, intimate geography of the creek and the dense, encompassing canopy of the Pennsylvania interior.

About This Mahaffey Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mahaffey, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.872841, -78.724196. 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 Mahaffey includes the ZIP code (15757), 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 (Purchase Line School District).

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.
