How to Use This Monument, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Monument, Pennsylvania

Monument is a locality in Centre County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 171. The population density is 758.9 people per km². Monument is located at 41.1112°N, 77.7044°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 16822.

Monument reveals its character through the steady, insistent carving of Beech Creek, which slices through the landscape to define the local topography. It lies 23.4 miles north-northeast of State College, PA (from State College, PA: bearing 20°T), and is situated 13.5 miles west of Lock Haven. The land here folds into the deep, quiet embrace of Slide Hollow, where the earth holds a cool, damp memory of the ancient forests that once dominated the region. Sunlight often catches the mica in the soil, casting a metallic glint over the uneven ground that marks the transition from the low-lying basin to the expansive, rugged terrain of the Sproul State Forest. On the distant horizon, the silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains provides a jagged, charcoal-colored boundary that anchors the view, ensuring that Monument remains firmly tethered to the interior wilderness.

Monument carries the heavy, soot-stained legacy of an era defined by the extraction of natural resources, where the economy was once forged in the labor of the earth. Today, the pace of life reflects a quieter, more deliberate existence, far removed from the frantic pulse of industrial centers. Residents often find their way toward the Slide Hollow Trail to traverse the dense, timbered ridges that define the local geography, or they seek the stillness of Foster Joseph Sayers Lake when the evening air turns brittle and thin. This region persists not as a relic of its past, but as a place where the rhythm of the seasons—the slow browning of ferns in autumn and the sudden, sharp clarity of winter—dictates the daily habits of those who remain.
