Explore Mount Jewett, 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 Mount Jewett, 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 Mount Jewett.
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.

Mount Jewett occupies a high-altitude plateau where the air holds a sharp, clean clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the surrounding hardwood canopy. It lies 21.0 miles north of Saint Marys, PA (from Saint Marys, PA: bearing 349°T), and is situated 7.6 miles south-southwest of McKean. The terrain here is defined by deep, sudden incisions in the earth, most notably the nearby Kinzua Gorge, which pulls the gaze downward into a vast, verdant fracture in the landscape. A short distance away, the West Branch Clarion River carves a path through the dense undergrowth, its waters moving with a steady, deliberate purpose through the quiet woods. Beyond the immediate clearings, the land stretches toward the distant, hazy blue outlines of the Allegheny Mountains, while the stillness of Marsh Ponds provides a reflective surface for the shifting autumn light.
Mount Jewett carries the quiet weight of a regional history rooted in the extraction of timber and the iron-willed expansion of the rail industry. The Knox & Kane Railroad Corridor serves as a persistent physical reminder of this past, tracing the former routes that once fueled the local economy and connected these high ridges to the wider world. Life in Mount Jewett proceeds with a measured, unadorned pace, where the residents observe the seasonal cycles of the forest and the slow transition of colors across the plateau. While the industrial fervor of the past has softened into a more contemplative existence, the character of the place remains fixed to the rugged geography, marked by the enduring presence of the timberlands and the memory of the heavy engines that once climbed these steep, demanding grades.

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.
