How to Use This Milroy, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Milroy, Pennsylvania

Milroy is a locality in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,550. The population density is 593.1 people per km². Milroy is located at 40.7140°N, 77.5906°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 17063.

Milroy occupies a quiet pocket of the ridge-and-valley landscape where the earth folds into long, parallel creases of limestone and shale. It lies 15.1 miles east-southeast of State College, PA (from State College, PA: bearing 111°T), and is situated 8.0 miles north of Lewistown. Laurel Creek moves through the low ground with a persistent, cold clarity, carving a path that defines the local topography and feeds into the broader basin of Potlicker Flats. Beyond the immediate fields, the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains provides a dark, serrated edge to the horizon, while the dense, shadowed canopy of Rothrock State Forest waits twelve miles away to the south. In the late afternoon, the light here thins into a pale, translucent amber, catching the moisture rising from the soil and giving the open pastures a fragile, fleeting brilliance.

Milroy maintains a steady, deliberate pace of life that reflects its long connection to the land and the modest industries that once anchored its growth. Residents gather at Milroy Park to mark the passage of the seasons, while those seeking the quiet solitude of the woods often follow the path of the Kratzer Trail as it winds toward the timberline. The economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the interior, drawing sustenance from the surrounding acreage and the nearby Laurel Creek Reservoir, which holds the stillness of the sky in its deep, dark glass. History here is not a loud proclamation, but rather a quiet accumulation of weathered barns and local traditions, held firmly in the grip of a landscape that demands both labor and patience from those who dwell within it.

About This Milroy Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Milroy, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.713957, -77.590551. 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 Milroy includes the ZIP code (17063), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Mifflin County (Lewistown), and school district assignment (Mifflin County 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.
