How to Use This Mapleton, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Mapleton, Pennsylvania

Mapleton is a locality in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 418. The population density is 881.9 people per km².

Mapleton occupies the low, quiet corridor of Hares Valley, where the land settles into a deliberate stillness between the rising flanks of the ridge-and-valley province. It lies 25.4 miles east-southeast of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 110°T), and is situated 7.3 miles south-southeast of Huntingdon. Scrub Run cuts a slender, persistent path through the local topography, its waters moving with a steady, unadorned intent toward the larger currents of the region. Beyond the immediate tree line, the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains define the horizon, grounding the landscape in a vast, geologic permanence. Within the center of the grid, Mapleton Community Park offers a modest expanse of green where the air feels heavy with the scent of damp earth and coming rain, a sensory reminder of the deep, inland isolation that keeps this geography apart from the frantic pace of the wider world.

Industry in Mapleton once mirrored the grit of the broader Pennsylvania landscape, drawing its strength from the raw materials pulled from the surrounding earth and the labor of those who settled here to work the stone and the rail. While the echoes of past production have faded, the rhythm of daily life persists through a deliberate, unassuming persistence, guided by the proximity of Raystown Lake just three miles away, which serves as a reservoir of quiet recreation for those who remain. The influence of the broader region is felt in the architecture of the older houses and the way the light catches the gray stone at dusk, softening the edges of a place that has seen the changing tides of labor and time. Residents often look toward the paths like the Butler Trail for a connection to the wilder stretches of the woods, though the true character of Mapleton remains tied to the valley floor and the slow, steady passage of the seasons.

About This Mapleton Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mapleton, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.393688, -77.941111. 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 Mapleton includes the ZIP code (17052), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Huntingdon County (Huntingdon), and school district assignment (Mount Union Area 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.
