Explore New Paris, 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 New Paris, 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 Paris.
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 Paris occupies a quiet corridor where the earth rises and falls in long, rhythmic swells of limestone and shale. It lies 21.1 miles southeast of Johnstown, PA (from Johnstown, PA: bearing 136°T), and is situated 9.6 miles northwest of Bedford. Dunning Creek cuts a persistent, silver thread through the valley floor, its waters perpetually pulling at the silt and stones that define the local topography. To the west, the distant, hazy blue spine of the Allegheny Mountains anchors the horizon, providing a permanent backdrop to the fields that stretch toward the nearby Quaker Valley. The air here holds a crisp, terrestrial weight, devoid of any saline influence, smelling instead of damp earth and the deep, resinous shadows cast by the trees of Gallitzin State Forest. During the autumn, the light turns a bruised gold, catching the surface of Shawnee Lake four miles away and turning the water into a polished, dark mirror that reflects the changing canopy.
New Paris maintains a steady, deliberate pace rooted in the agricultural traditions of the surrounding landscape, where the seasonal cycle dictates the rhythm of the day. The local economy persists through the quiet industry of independent farms and the modest commerce that supports those who reside within this interior basin. History lingers in the architecture of the older structures, which stand with a sturdy, unadorned utility that mirrors the character of the people. Visitors often traverse the nearby Old '56' Trail to connect with the rugged terrain, or find respite in the managed expanse of Shawnee State Park, a space preserved for its quiet, inland stillness. Life in New Paris moves without fanfare, defined by the steady flow of Dunning Creek and the enduring stability of the land that has anchored the settlement through the turning of many years.

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.
