How to Use This New Bethlehem, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

New Bethlehem emerges from the dense, verdant folds of the Allegheny Plateau, where the earth rises in slow, deliberate swells toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains. It lies 27.9 miles north-northwest of Indiana, PA (from Indiana, PA: bearing 340°T), and is situated 19.2 miles west-northwest of Punxsutawney. Redbank Creek carves a persistent path through the limestone bedrock, its dark waters reflecting the heavy, low-hanging clouds that often gather in the valley floor. The air here holds the damp, metallic scent of shale and moss, particularly in the quiet hours when the light thins to a pale, bruised violet. Following the old rail lines, the Redbank Valley Trail offers a gravel passage through the deep woodlands, tracing the topography with a steady, unyielding grace that connects the scattered dwellings of New Bethlehem to the wider, wilder woods beyond.

Coal seams once dictated the pulse of the local economy, drawing generations to labor beneath the stubborn soil, though the industry has long since surrendered to the quietude of a modern, agrarian pace. The architecture of New Bethlehem retains the brick-and-mortar gravity of its nineteenth-century founding, with storefronts that face the creek with a stoic, weathered patience. Life here moves in concert with the seasonal shifts of the forest, far removed from the frantic commerce of the distant cities. Only six miles away, the waters of Mahoning Creek Lake collect the runoff of the highlands, providing a vast, still counterpoint to the hurried movement of the nearby creek. The people of New Bethlehem maintain a steady rhythm, defined by the wood smoke of autumn mornings and the long, golden afternoons that linger over the valley before the shadows finally deepen.

About This New Bethlehem Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of New Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 41.001732, -79.33143. 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 New Bethlehem includes the ZIP code (16242), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Clarion County (Clarion), and school district assignment (Redbank Valley 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.
